Here are some Camellia plants we have discontinued propagating. They are 
offered at “CHEAP” prices. Frankly, they are “punk” sorts, varieties that do not 
flower easily, or the blossoms are insignificant forms. 
We doubt if they are bargains at any price, except for use as broadleaf evergreens. 
Perhaps you will agree, too, that a bargain is never a BARGAIN, if nobody wants 
it. Naturally, our embossed copper labels are not placed on these Camellias, for 
future identification. 
AUSTIL PINK, local name for a single to semi-double form insignificant flower, 
having stamens. Free blooming mid-season. 
9” metal pots, 36-42”, 8 yr. old—Each.$2.50 
9” metal pots, 42-48”, 8 yr. old—Each . 3.00 
COMPT d’GOMER, an old named variety, beautiful form, color and color markings, 
“IF AND WHEN” the buds open. We don’t think this variety worth transportation 
charges. Available in 1-gal. cans, 7 V 2 ” metal pots, and 9” metal pots. 
Our conscience won’t permit us to accept filthy lucre for COMPT d’GOMER 
Camellias. If you order any other Camellia plants and ask for one of these “bull- 
neads”, it will be included with our compliments. 
CANDIDESSIMA, an old named variety originating in Japan. We.offer the 
shy-blooming strain, described in Halliday’s PRACTICAL CULTURE, 1880. Heavily 
branched specimens, 10 years old, 36-42” high—Each .$3.00 
AMERICANA, sold also as MAID OF ORLEANS, and by some nurseries called 
COUNTESS OF ORKNEY. Vigorous grower, sets numerous flower buds. For twelve 
years we have grown it outdoors and in greenhouses, with disappointing results. Very 
few buds develop into perfect flowers. This is one of those “DUDS” commonly called 
“bull-heads” or “hard-shells”. The flower buds usually swell to the size of a pigeon 
egg, show color, and gives promise of opening, then burst at the stem end, falling off.

PINK IMPERFECTION, a purely descriptive name that frankly explains its poor 
habit of failing to open the numerous flower buds. Occasionally a flower will open, 
but for the one perfect flower obtained, 100 buds will not open. 
8” pots, 7 years old, 36-42”, well branched and set with many flower buds—Each—$3.00 
42-48”, well branched and budded . 3.50 
SINGLE PINK, a hibiscus type winter-hardy, free blooming variety. Like all 
single flowering Camellias, the individual flowers do not have good keeping quality, 
and soon drop from the bush.

SEM[-nOTJBLE REDS, winter hardy, free blooming, flowers about three inch diameter. We 
have several types, name.s unkn(.wn, make nice evergreen ornamentals with plenty of color in season. 
Individual bloas''ms are not the tj'pe that win ribbons at Camellia Shows, but we can recommend 
them where winter color is wanted in your garden, at an economical initial cost.

ODDS AND END.S 
Every nursery selling Camellias probably has a few odds and ends, varieties without flower 
buds, and kinds that the identity is ivjt known. 
We offer "as is" healthy plants of unknown parentage, "orphans" so to speak, at prices you 
can afford to take a chance on getting a bargain. Some of these plants were purcha.sed at auctloa 
fram an estate. A few have bloomed this fall and proved to be outstanding novelties, and have been 
•et aside for further propagation. We offer pot and 1 gal. cans at following low prices: 
12-15" high, slightly branched—Each .2 .5# 
16-18" high, slightly branched—Each .71 
15-24" high, slightly branched—Each . 1.0# 
24-30" high, well branched—Each . 1.60 
30-36" high, well branched—Bach . 2.00

of their flowers.)
