New Camellias from the Middleton Place 
Arthur Middleton (Middletoni, No. 4). An exquisite deep pink flower of formal type, 
it measures 4 inches across. When fully opened, the stamens are intermingled with the 
petaloids. Free in its blooming habit and vigorous in its growth. The foliage is best 
described as medium green. Grafted plants, $15.00. 
Blanche Aurea (Middletoni, No. 25.) Four rows of white petals, lemon-tinted at the 
base, make the pleasing structure of this semi-double white variety. The stamens of 
this 4-inch bloom are noticeably wide-spreading. Small, round, deep green foliage. 
Midseason. Grafted plants, $15.00. 
Campbell Ashley (Middletoni, No. 13). A loosely formed, peony-type flower of deepest 
red, with petals of crepe-like texture. The petaloids of this 4-inch flower are intermingled 
with the stamens. Growth is tall and the deep green leaves are noticeably long. Late 
flowering. Grafted plants, $15.00. 
Coquille Minema (Middletoni, No. 17). Medium pink spotted with light pink is this 
semi-double flower with its showy clusters of stamens. Large, round, deep green foliage 
and wide-spreading growth. Early flowering. Grafted plants, $15.00. 
Crepe Rosette (Middletoni, No. 6). Measuring 41% inches in diameter, the deep pink 
semi-double blooms have three rows of outer petals which are twisted and intermingled 
with the stamens. They are veined with red, and white margins mark each petal of this 
variety, which is considered one of the finest from the Middleton Gardens. Foliage light 
green. Symmetrical growth of medium height. Early to late flowering. 
Grafted plants, $15.00. 
Donklaeri (Middletoni, No. 15). We consider this to be the finest strain of the true 
Donklaeri in America. The 6-inch deep red flowers are spotted and marbled with 
white. Long, narrow foliage. Extremely slow in growth; early flowering. 
Grafted plants, $15.00 to $25.00.

double white variety are noticeable. It measures 3 to 4 inches in diameter and it may be 
said that the foliage and the flower are identical with Alba Plena. Wide-spreading growth; 
early flowering. Grafted plants, $15.00.
