Historically this is one of the 
most interesting varieties of 
Camellias. Brought from China 
for the Royal Garden, Kew, 
England, in 1806. It was named 
WARATAH or Anemone-flower. 
We find it illustrated in color 
and described May 1, 1824, 
Greenhouse Companion. Picture 
on right is photo of colored plate 
appearing in Les Camellia de 
Bollwiller par Baumann, 1828. 
It is said to have furnished 
pollen for cross pollenization with 
single flowers from which many new and fine seedling varieties developed. 
Lot 78—WARATAH 
Dark red flowers, 3 inches across, straggly in growth, mid-season to late 
blooming. We do not consider the individual flowers will excite much 
enthusiasm compared with many other sorts of better form and more 
brilliant color. 
Space does not permit repeating the many interesting historical 
references to this variety, found in old horticultural books.

Lot 1—SARAH FROST 
The true SARAH FROST is a full double, rose form flower, 3 to 
3^/z inches in diameter, with 120 petals diminishing in size to the center. 
Blooms naturally January and February, but under greenhouse condition 
can be flowered easily in November and December. 
This Camellia like many other 
varieties, has been sold by color, and 
not by name. By different nurserymen 
it is variously described as double 
rose, crimson, scarlet, cherry, deep 
pink, bright red and cerise. Worst of all, 
there have been three distinct varieties 
shipped out under the name of SARAH 
FROST, two of which represent inferior 
Camellias. 
The true SARAH FROST represents a 
worthwhile, vigorous growing and beau¬ 
tiful flower, acceptable in the florist 
trade as suitable for corsage purpose. 
We think any buyer of the genuine 
SARAH FROST will be more than 
pleased with the fine form, and brilliant 
color, as well as the ease of culture of 
this Camellia.
