Rosea Superba. A very large, double, deep pink flower of the Mathotiana Rubra type out- 
standing for its free-flowering habit. Foliage is typical of the type—long, dull green. 
Growth upright and vigorous; flowering season early to late. We consider it our finest and 
largest pink Camellia. 
Eleanor Haygood. This is one of the most handsome delicate pink Camellias yet offered the 
public. Its rose form flowers upon opening develop fully showing a few short stamens when 
completely open. Foliage large dull green. Flowering late in the season. Growth upright, 
symmetrical. Origin, Magnolia Gardens. 
Laurel Leaf. This is a solid pink Sport of Contessa Lavinia Maggi, same size flowers, iden- 
tical growth habits, time of bloom foliage. It is a fine contrast to its variegated parent. 
Lady Dunn. Originating at Loxley, Alabama, comes this lovely early large flowering peony 
form Camellia. The color is pleasing deep pink to rose pink. Occasionally stripes of red are 
found on a petal. Foliage is long pointed dull green. Growth slow and open inclined to be 
willowy. 
Magnoliaeflora. This lovely semi-double pale pink Camellia is in great demand, flowering 
in midseason. Foliage very glossy medium green pointed. Slow loosely upright growth. 
Origin unknown. 
Pink Marquise d’Exeter. This is a solid pink Sport of the variegated form. Has the early 
flowering habit of the parent. Foliage, growth, time of bloom and long lasting flowers are 
all inherent from the parent. 
Souv. de Bahaud-Liton. (Lady Francis, Carol Lombard). This full double shelil- 
pink, late flowering Camellia is evidently a Sport of the late flowering Mathotiana Alba. 
It has all of the latter’s habits and appearance except that it is ight pink. Origin not known, 
possibly general. 
Anna Bruneau. This double deep pink rose bud form Camellia is a late bloomer, resembling 
in form the Mathotiana Alba. It should be planted in shade as it will not develop fine flow- 
ers when exposed to full sun. Foliage is large deep glossy green. Growth upright. Its origin 
is not known to me. 
Crepe Rosette (Middletoni, No. 6). Measuring 4!% inches in diameter, the deep pink 
semi-double blooms have three rows of outer petals which are twisted and intermingled 
with the stamens. They are veined with red, and white margins mark each petal of this va- 
riety, which is considered one of the finest from the Middleton Gardens. Foliage light green. 
Symmetrical growth of medium height. Early to late flowering. 
Lady Hume’s Blush. This is the true strain imported from Europe many years ago. Best 
described as shell-pink to white. It varies from 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Long-pointed light 
green foliage and slow, slender growth characterizes this variety. 
Debutante (Sara C. Hastie). This beautiful light pink peony-like Camellia measures 314 
to 4 inches in diameter. Light green foliage. Slow growth; early flowering. 
Marchioness of Exeter. The deep pink peony-like flowers measure 4 to 5 inches across.

finest. Long, narrow, dark green foliage. Spreading growth; late flowering.
