CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
Again we can say that we have increased the number of 
varieties of Camellias we are offering, adding some few 
standard sorts and many rare ones. We hope further to 
increase the number of varieties and make many additions 
of newer ones each year. We now have many varieties in 
smaller quantities not listed, some of which we will list 
next year. If you are interested in some special sort, please 
ask us about it—we might have a graft to spare or can tell 
you where it can be found. 
We take great pride in selling our grafted rare Camellias, 
and you will note that we are offering some outstanding 
varieties this year. No doubt we will have great demand 
for many of these, and we can’t advise too strongly that 
you order early. We can start digging in October, and if 
you can get your plants in early there will be much less 
chance of damage by cold. 
You will note many varieties from Magnolia Gardens 
of Charleston, 8. C. Some of these are from original im- 
ported plants and some are hybrids developed there. All 
of these are of the very best and should be in every Camellia 
garden. 
In the standard varieties we have a few in larger sizes 
than we had last season and in larger quantity. Our 8 
to 12-inch plants are about the best that can be had any- 
where. They are well developed, grown in full sun and 
thus superior to any shade-grown plants. We have 
grown our small plants in full sun for some time and have 
found that we not only get a better plant, with more root 
system, but one that will better stand early moving to 
the outdoors. We will be glad to send you a sample for 
your inspection and comparison with any other plants 
in the same size. On most varieties we are in position to
