3. CAMELLIA JAPONICA: 
(This, the common camellia of Southern gardens, is too well known to require 
a lengthy account. A native of the mountainous districts of Japan, China, 
and Korea, it was first brought to Europe (England) in 1739. Camellia 
Japonica soon became popular as a blooming greenhouse shrub, and hundreds 
of varieties with flowers of many forms and colors were developed during the 
next hundred years, reaching the height of its popularity during the middle of 
the nineteenth century. 
Prior to the Civil War, camellias were one of the most popular blooming 
shrubs planted about the great plantation homes of the South. With the 
passing of the great plantation system after the War Between the States, 
practically all ornamental gardening in the South ceased and the value of 
camellias as an ornamental became almost forgotten, and it was not revived 
again until about twenty years ago, when it came to life with a rush, so that 
now it is again the most sought after of all ornamental plants for home 
grounds decoration over a wide section of the country. 
Throughout the lower South, and along the Atlantic Coast, as far north 
as Washington, camellias flower freely in the Winter and Spring, and with its 
abundance of shiny, dark-green foliage, and profusion of beautiful flowers, it 
is classed as the most beautiful of all ornamental shrubs.)
