Shown above is the gorgeous variety 
Coloney Firey. “This is one of the large 
imbricated Camellias—the arrangement of 
the petals presenting that regularity which 
many Camellia lovers fancy. The flower is 
a deep vibrant red and the petals are of 
unusually fine substance. This is one of 
the large flowered varieties. Blooms on a 
well fertilized and disbudded plant will 
average from 4 to 6 inches in diameter. The 
color of the bloom is so ‘“‘alive’’ that it 
attracts attention even at a considerable dis- 
tance. [his variety begins to set buds when 
about 18 inches tall and thereafter becomes 
more floriferous each year until it reaches 
maturity. If you like red Camellias, we 
would recommend Colonel Firey without 
any reservations.
