Camellia. Mrs. K. Sawada 
(U.S. Patent No. 481) 
We take great pleasure to introduce this beauti- 
ful new Camellia to our customers this season. 
We have named this variety for the wife of the originator 
who devoted much of her time in helping him in his work 
along this line. Unfortunately, she passed away without see- 
ing this beautiful flower. It seems to us that this flower 
represents exactly Mrs. Sawada’s appearance and character— 
such purity, gentleness, warm-heartedness, and sweetness of 
disposition, ete. 
The flower is full double, gardenia-type, imbri- 
cated. It is 3 to 3% inches in diameter, consisting 
of 70 to 100 petals. Color is delicate pink, shaded 
on white. The flower resembles the flower of 
Lady Humes Blush somewhat, but is slightly larger 
in size, blooms heavily from February to March. 
The lasting quality as a cut flower is exceptionally 
good. The leaves are small, of finer texture, very 
vigorous, upright grower, very compact, with long, 
slender branches. Its resisting power against the 
freeze is very great. 
Many florists who have seen this flower agree 
that this is the most ideal Camellia flower for their 
corsage work.
