to it by the nursery that first offered this camel- 
lia for sale. It has become well-known in this 
section by that name, and, so far as we know, 
is entirely different from any camellia already 
known by some other name. 
We have a collection of colored slides, show- 
ing most of the varieties of camellias that we 
have, so that if anyone is in doubt as to what 
variety he is buying, we shall be glad to show 
him an accurate picture of the flower. 
It is to be regretted that some of these lovely 
flowers bear Japanese names. It would be very 
desirable to have this changed, as nothing so 
beautiful and so well-loved should suffer the 
stigma of being associated in any way with the 
Japanese race, but to change these names with- 
out the cooperation of every grower of camellias, 
would tend only to confuse and mislead buyers 
who have come to know these camellias by such 
names. However, we can accept the situation 
in the knowledge that these exquisite plants will 
long out-live the race which has so falsely and 
inappropriately attached its names to beauty. 
RARE CAMELLIAS 
We are offering to our customers this year 
many fine varieties that we have not heretofore 
been in position to sell because of limited stock in 
these particular camellias. These include some 
of the best of the Magnolia Gardens varieties, 
such as Rev. Jno. Bennett, Mrs. Charles Cobb, 
H. A. Downing, Duchess of Sutherland, and 
Lady Mary Cromartie, and the finest and rarest 
varieties grown in this section of the country, 
such as Adolphe Audusson, Magnoliaflora, Elea- 
nor of Fairoaks, Duncan Bell, and Glen 40. 
We unqualifiedly recommend the rare varieties 
of camellias listed by us this year as being among 
the most outstanding camellias in the country. 
It is our opinion that the purchase of these 
varieties represents a sound investment, as they 
have not been widely offered for sale at such 
reasonable prices, and the demand for them is 
going to grow from year to year as they are 
made more available to the public generally, 
and flower lovers come to know the beauty and 
outstanding quality of these plants. 
We have a number of rare varieties of camel- 
lias that we do not have yet in sufficient quan- 
tities to offer for sale. However, if you should 
be interested in getting us to graft any of these 
for you, please write for list of these varieties, 
and prices of grafted plants.
