Rare and Fancy Camellias 
If your tires are rationed, Stamps are not. 
We will express our Camellias to any spot. 

The selection of fine Camellias does not require a lifetime study. 
A few established precepts will guide both amateur and connoiseurs in making 
a wise selection. 
READ CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY 
If you must buy Camellias by mail, read catalogue descriptions carefully. There’s 
much you should know, about these plants, the catalogues fail to mention. 
Seems strange doesn’t it, the age of the Camellias offered in catalogues are not 
mentiond. 
Queer too, nothing is said whether the plants have buds and will bloom this season. 
Don’t you think you are entitled to know if a 4 foot plant is just a “switch”, slight- - 
ly branched, well branched, or a heavy branched specimen, when you see 48 inch 
Camellias listed in catalogues. 
There’s a vast difference in Camellias sold by height. A single “switch” might 
produce one or two flowers, while a heavy branched specimen could produce fifty 
or more blooms. 
You may wonder why Camellia catalogues fail to mention weights of plants. The 
transportation charges are often more than the cost of field grown Camellias, in- 
cluding grafted plants. 
It is not surprising why catalogues fail to mention an approximate weight. 
An average eight year old field grown Camellia if properly dug and packed 
weighs 100 pounds. A pot grown plant of same age weighs 25 pounds packed. 
“LONGVIEW” PRICE LISTS ARE DIFFERENT

uine Monel metal, 7 strand flexible wire cable ... your guarantee of “LONG- 
VIEW” quality.

of growth, and whether budded at time list was published.

vantage to let a Camellia specialist help them.

HOW TO CHOOSE CAMELLIAS 
A Camellia should have the following qualities, if you look for the ultimate in 
lasting values. 
It should bloom freely, when grown under adverse cultural environments. 
The flower should have purity and brilliancy of color, perfection in form and 
petal formation. 
Individual flowers of different varieties may be 2 inches to 7 inches or larger in 
diameter. 
Flowers may vary from simple singles of 5 to 7 petals, semi-doubles, doubles, full 
doubles, in rose, peony, anemone, and imbricated ranuculi forms, with upward of 
500 petals and petaloids. 
VALUE OF CAMELLIA BLOOMS 
Ultra choice Camellia flowers command 75c to $1.50 each wholesale in the florists 
trade, used as cut flowers and for corsages. 
When blooms are worth $9.00 to $18.00 a dozen, a Camellia plant selling for $25.00 
or more is not an expensive investment, if it yields a few dozen flowers, each win- 
ter season, 
Three years is the life of gardenias and roses when forced in a greenhouse for cut 
flowers, but a Camellia, like an Orchid has little commercial value until six or more 
years old. From then on, an ever increasing annual crop can be cut for many de- 
cades. : 
To produce a matured Camellia plant, Nature works on the job a hundred years; 
if a squash, six months will do. 
CAMELLIA NAMES 
Why is it nurserymen fail to cite an authority for the horticultural variety names? 
Not important you may say, if you can personally visit the nursery and select in- 
dividual plants while in bloom, that appeal to you. 
After all, Camellia names are as meaningless as Japanese Promises, 
world knows Japanese promises, like pie crust, is easily broken. 
Out of 600 named Camellias offered in catalogues today, less than 50 varieties 
have been positively identified by correct names. 
and the 
So much confusion exists, with little hopes for accurate identification, one can 
not hope to buy many true to name Camellias. This is especially true when you 
deal with nurserymen who buy their plants from other propagators, who also are 
equally ignorant about names. 
Had Camellias been known in Shakesphere’s time, he probably would have writ- 
ten: “A Camellia by any other name would be just as magnificent.” 
CAMELLIAS FROM “LONGVIEW” WILL SATISFY YOU.
