CAMELLIA JAPONICA, continued 
give much larger plants in the 8 to 12-inch size than you 
would expect. We have most varieties in 3-inch pots that 
can be shipped with no damage to the root systems, al- 
though they will go with bare root without any damage, 
as we have successfully shipped this way many times. This 
year we are listing the smaller sizes bare root for those of 
you that want them this way. Our 12 to 18-inch and 
18 to 24-inch sizes, from open beds in the full sun, can be 
shipped just as well bare root, and there is no reason at all 
for you to pay extra for transportation and balling. We 
have many customers that buy this way every year—they 
never buy any small plants balled and burlapped. All our 
California shipments of 12 to 18-inch and 18 to 24-inch 
plants go bare rooted, and we have many good reports on 
condition. We are certain that if you are buying 12 to 
18-inch or 18 to 24-inch bed-grown plants for lining out in 
the field, you will profit by buying bare root. When we 
move our Camellias from the beds to the field, we bare-root 
same as we would a ligustrum, and our stand in the nursery 
row will bear us out in that they couldn’t do better if balled 
and burlapped. 
We know that we can please you with our plants; all 
orders will be given our very best attention. Many cus- 
tomers who started buying from us the first year we were 
in business are still buying every year. We do not have 
the largest nursery in this section, and for that matter 
are not trying to outdo anyone in that respect, but we do 
try to produce the best plant for the money, and will con- 
tinue to do so. A trial shipment will convince you, but 
if you are not entirely satisfied, we are ready and willing 
to make any reasonable adjustments.
