WINTER HARDY 
Camellias 
Lot 5—CARNEA 
We feel positive this is a true to 
name Camellia, if one is to believe 
the BOTANICAL CABINET published 
February, 1821, copy of which is in 
our libarry. 
Bright red is the predominating 
color, however, as the old book 
published 117 years ago says; “In 
different soils and under different 
management, it is subject to vary a 
good deal, both in leaf and flower, 
on which account much confusion 
arose.” Introduced from China to 
Europe about 1807. 
A visiting “Yankee” florist saw this variety in 
flower last season, liked it so well he bought all 
of our larger size plants, and will use the flowers 
for corsages. 
For a strong, sturdy, symmetrical 
growing Camellia, with an abund¬ 
ance of large, brilliant red semi¬ 
double flowers, blooming December 
to March, here is a variety having 
a special appeal. 
Blossoms 4 to 41/4 inches wide, 
18 to 33 petals and petaloids, with 
golden anthered stamens, making 
a showy flower, usually borne on 
long stems. 
We know of five different “local” 
names given this winter-hardy 
Camellia, but no authority can be 
cited for the accuracy of these 
names. As far as we are concerned 
it is a worthwhile nameless orphan, 
suitable for garden or conservatory 
culture. 
Desirable as a winter flowering garden evergreen as well as a conservatory 
plant. Blooms naturally in January and February, with fully developed 
flowers 4 inches in diameter.

Emmaus, Pa., Sept. 21. 1938.—"To one 
who has n'kt been educated to Camellia 
srowing, the thrills of seeing the buds 
unfold is worth the time and effort of 
their culture." J.W.S.

Camellias 1 obtained from you some years
