measurably to your pleasure of living.

tion of these FLORAL GEMS FROM CHINA. 
People of culture and prominence 
throughout the United States, who have 
grown Camellias, invariably assure us, 
“LONGVIEW” pot grown Camellias have 
brought them a more abundant life, new 
friendships, and a wealth of pleasure out 
of all proportion of their cost: 
There is no government rationing restrictions, no 
priorities or allotment requirements needed to buy one 
plant or a car load. 
There is no BLACKOUT of beauty with these joy- 
bringing, wirler-flowering floral treasures of awe-in- 
spiring perfection. 
More important, Camellias produce their finest 
blossoms when grown in a “COOL” winter tempera- 
ture. Shortage of fuel for heating your conservatory 
this winter, presents no cultural problem for these rare 
plants. 
They thrive like natives when grown 
at 33 to 48 degrees temperature, tolerating 
up to 65 degrees, if the atmosphere is kept 
damp at all times. 
When you have acquired your first Camellias, it is 
very much as though all Camellias have just been 
created, or if they had never existed before. 
“Like the Lords mercies, they are new every morn- 
ing and fresh every evening.” 
These plants will continue to hold your interest 
year after year, as they grow in size and increase 1n 
floral beauty for generations that follow.

“Here lies a man who saved his all 
For a day when rain and snow

He knew no pleasure, shared no game 
And died before the blizzard came.”
