CAMELUAS TRUE TO NAME OR DESCRIPTION 
You can depend on it that LONGVIEW Camellias are true to name and 
description. We offer named varieties only when we can cite a recognized 
authority for the names with which we label them. The Azalea and 
Camellia Society of American lists less than 60 true-to-name Camellias 
now offered commercially in this country. Yet in spite of the reliable 
guidance based on careful and competent investigations by this society, 
many nurserymen in this country still publish catalogues which altogether 
offer upwards of 600 named varieties of Camellias. 
Don’t you think King David of Old Testament fame had present-day 
Camellia nurserymen in mind when he wrote the 11th verse of the 116th 
Psalm? In case your memory fails and you haven’t your Bible handy, the 
verse runs: “I said in my haste, all men are liars.” 
This leads back to our original statement. We believe Barnum was 
right when he said the people wanted to be humbugged. Whether Barnum 
was right or wrong, we believe we Camellia lovers don’t want to be 
humbugged. So we will continue our policy of selling named varieties only 
when we can cite one recognized authority at least to warrant the name. 
We believe you want facts with the bunk pumped out or left out. We don’t 
believe you want to deal with persons or firms who use misleading information 
and wild statements just to get your money. 
Can you afford to take the chance of buying misnamed Camellias? Can 
you afford to waste your money and several years of uncertainty while 
growing Camellias of uncertain qualities, lacking a background of intelligent 
culture, continued popularity and known history when you can get the finest 
prize-winning varieties true to name and description at reasonable prices? 
Such varieties you can get at LONGVIEW. 
Many of our present customers tell us they gave away or destroyed 
unsatisfactory Camellias bought elsewhere before they learned the quality 
and reliability of our stock. They bought at bargain prices only to find after 
years of disappointing results that their plants were of no value as free 
bloomers and served only as ornamental broadleaved evergreens. 
All LONGVIEW Camellias are sold by lot numbers. Horticultural 
variety names are added only when we have more than hear-say authority 
for them. And because of our experience, we are harder to convince than 
our most exacting customer. 
You will avoid disappointments by obtaining Camellias from a specialise. 
Growing Camellias at LONGVIEW receives our undivided attention. We 
have grown them since July 5, 1915. 
You will never regret the money invested in “good” Camellias. 
There is something alluring, enchanting about Camellia culture . . . and 
once the Camellia urge “gets” you . . . you will be engarrisoned against ennui. 
Growing LONGVIEW Camellias as a hobby brings a lasting joy . . . 
new thrills and renewed enthusiasm every winter ... as each succeeding 
Camellia flower unfolds its petals and reveals their faultless beauty . . . 
floricultural masterpieces . . . brilliant, radiant gems of horticulture.
