SUPERB CAMELLIAS 
The exquisite, perfectly molded flowers of Camellia japonica, waxy and 
delicate in texture and beautifully tinted, never fail to draw constant ad- 
miration when they unfold during the winter months. And the plant itself is 
handsome, with its dense, dark evergreen foliage forming a perfect setting 
for the bright colored flowers. Camellias are not difficult to grow, requiring 
only a good well-drained soil and a partiolly shaded position, usually with 
an east or north exposure. In very heavy soils a little peat moss mixed in

NOBILISSIMA 

with the soil will provide good drainage and give better results. 
Camellias, Group 1 
Alba plena. A clear white, waxy flower, regular 
in form and very double. Long considered one 
of the very best white varieties. 
Purity. As its name indicates, white as pure 
snow, large double flowers with high center 
and no stamens showing. Purity is indeed an 
apt name for this fine Camellia. 
Lilyi. A medium-sized white variety. Bush 
rather spreading in habit. Flowers sometimes 
have a few petals spotted very pale pink, but 
nearly all flowers are pure white. 
Imperator. Brilliant Christmas red, peony- 
type flowers, more graceful than most peony 
types. A large-flowered, large-leaved variety, 
vigorous in growth and free flowering. 
Compte de Gomer. One of the popular old 
varieties. Double, variegated white and 
delicate pink, with irregular pencilings of old- 
rose. Blooms January and February. Flowers 
are medium size, with petals diminishing in 
size toward the center. 
Auguste Delfosse. Medium-sized, light red, 
peony-type flowers. An extra-heavy bloomer, 
similar to Prof. Sargent, but a _ brighter, 
cheerier red. 
Pink Perfection. As its name implies, this 
Camellia is really perfection in a regular shell- 
pink flower. The bush is very free flowering, 
compact in growth, and a real beauty in all 
respects.

Mille Beau (Thousand Beauties). Apple- 
blossom-pink is the predominating color im 
this fine double-flowered variety. Each bloom 
on the same bush is different from all the 
others. They range from almost solid white 
and blush-pink to a deep pink, with all types 
of variegation between. 
Cheerful. Cheerful in name and color. A bright 
cherry-red, very double, high-pointed center. 
This variety blooms while very young and 
usually has a few flowers open by Christmas. 
Carnation. A bright red, carnation-shaped 
bloom with many small petals in the center 
which is rounded. Starts blooming early in 
the season and continues for a long period. 
No. 97 Pink. A beautiful salmon-pink flower, 
very double, and about 4 inches in diameter. 
Plant rather dwarf and bushy, flowering very 
heavily; one of the early varieties. 
Panache. A very different variegated type. 
No two blossoms on the plant are quite the 
same. Flowers rather large, quite double and 
ranging from almost clear white to shell-pink 
and clear deep pink. The average flower is 
lighter toward the outer petals and shades to 
deeper color toward the center. A fine vigor- 
ous grower that should be in every Camellia 
collection. 












Duc de Bretagne, Single, brick-red, medium- 
size flowers borne profusely. This is the fast- 
est-growing variety we know of, and while the 
individual flowers are not so fine, as a land- 
scape plant seen from a little distance it 
stands out as a fine splash of color in the 
winter landscape. 
Henri Favre. One of the smaller-flowered varie- 
gated types. Background color is red, penciled 
with white stripes lengthwise of the petals. A 
vigorous grower of compact form. Free flow- 
ering habit. 
Noblissima. Double peony form in a solid 
white flower. The golden-anthered stamens 
are seen between the petals. Blooms in mid- 
winter starting in December and continuing 
through February.
