DEBUTANTE 
NEW VARIETIES FROM THE NURSERY OF THE GUICHARD SISTERS 
AT NANTES, FRANCE 
HIS year, for the first time, we are listing some 
Camellias which we have propagated by grafts 
and cuttings from stock imported several 
years ago from the Camellia Nurseries of the Guich- 
ard Sisters at Nantes, France. We are indeed for- 
tunate to have obtained these varieties because no 
one knows what has become of the great collection 
of varieties assembled by these famous French women.

RARE CAMELLIAS. Group 1 
Magnolizflora. This delicately beautiful Camellia 
is the choicest offering of the season. The semi-double 
flowers, with 12 to 15 very large petals, are deep rose 
at the base but pale to a soft blush at the tips. The 
plant is a compact grower with attractive foliage. A 
very limited supply. See color illustration on page 28. 
Marguerite Gouillon. (GS) A flower so deep-centered 
that the fully opened bloom is nearly round. Full 
peony-form, with a center of palest flesh-pink, slight 
striations of deeper pink at the tips of the petals, and 
more decided markings on the outer petals. 
Marquise d’Exeter. (GS) Very large, full, peony-form 
flowers of clear satiny pink. The petals in the center 
are erect and sometimes folded back, while the outer 
petals are fluted and deeply notched. Stamens are 
interspersed, even to the outside rows of petals.

The plants are nearly all in small sizes—8 to 12 
inches up to 2 to 3 feet. We cannot vouch for the 
spelling of the variety names but pass them on to 
you exactly as they were spelled in the lists sent to 
us. The French plants (grafted and own-root) 
are designated by the letters GS to distinguish them 
from the plants grafted on our own stock.
