POTTED CAMELLIAS 
Well-budded Camellia japonicas, established in pots, 
have become extremely popular in recent years and 
many florists tell us that they fmd them the most 
satisfactory and profitable plants they have ever 
handled. Potted Camellias can be retailed as blooming 
plants, or they can be used to furnish cut-flowers and 
grown on in greenhouses year after year for that purpose, 
while the plants become larger and more valuable. 
A number of varieties can be supplied in pots, such 
as Pink Perfection, Candidissima, Elizabeth, Sarah 
Frost, etc., but the list must necessarily be confined to 
a few kinds which bloom abundantly while young. We 
therefore recommend that our customers order by 
color, rather than by variety, and permit us to select 
those that will be best developed at the time the order 
is to be filled. 
Our stock of potted Camellias for this year are mostly 
18 to 24 inches for dwarf kinds and 24 to 30 inches for 
the taller-growing sorts. AI! of them have at least a 
half-dozen well-developed flower-buds and some have 
double or more that number. 
Camellias with advanced flower-buds should be kept 
in a very cool house. Carnation and cyclamen houses 
are suitable, with a temperature of not much more than 
50 degrees. Camellias are winter-blooming plants and 
may shed their buds in very warm houses. 
Prices on potted Camellias: 
6-in. pots, $1.75 and $2.00 each. 
7-in. pots, $2.50 and $3.00 each, 
depending on size, kinds and number of buds.
