Eleanor of Fairoaks. Deep red, marbled with white—a rich combination for a loose peony- 
type flower that measures 5 to 6 inches across. The bright stamens are intermingled with 
the petaloids. Mr. Norman Mansfield, of New Orleans, La., considers this the finest 
Camellia in America. Dull deep green foliage and vigorous, slender growth characterize this 
variety. Midseason to late flowering. 
Gov. Mouton. A large-flowering, peony-type Camellia of deep red coloring marbled with 
white. Dark foliage. Medium in growth. 
Nagaska. Semi-double rose-pink flowers spotted with white. Round, dark green foliage. 
Slow in growth; late. 
Otome Variegated. When opening the flower has the form of a rosebud. The shell-pink 
4-inch blooms are suffused and striped with deep rose-pink. This very handsome variety 
has small, round, dull green foliage and slow, spreading growth. Identical with Otome White. 
Midseason. 
Paeoniflora. An extremely large, white, peony-type bloom speckled with pink—sometimes 
they appear solid pink and some half pink and half white. A truly outstanding Camellia 
is this variety which expands some 5 to 6 inches across. Round, deep green foliage. Strong, 
upright growth and very free-flowering from early to midseason. 
Donkelaari (Middletoni, No. 15). Weconsider this to be the finest strain of the true 
Donkelaari in America. The 6-inch deep red flowers are spotted and marbled with white. 
Long, narrow foliage. Extremely slow in growth; early flowering. 
Speciosa (Middletoni, No. 7). Not unlike Professor C. 8. Sargent in form is this bomb- 
type peony-flowered form of deepest red spotted with pure white. The deep glossy green 
foliage and the vigorous, wide-spreading habit of growth are worth considering. Midseason 
to late flowering. 
Catherine Catheart. Double pink blossoms marbled with white, measuring 314 to 4 
inches across, and noted for their symmetrical form. Rounded, light green foliage which is 
heavily ribbed. Slow, slender growth; late flowering. 
C. M. Hovey (Paulina). A full double, dark red flower, marbled and speckled with snow- 
white. It measures 4 to 5 inches in diameter and the petals are unusually large. Long, dull 
green foliage. Slow, bushy growth. 
Marchioness of Salisbury. Deep red, peony-form flowers marbled with pure white. The 
coloring and formation of this 3 to 4-inch bloom is truly exquisite. Long, dull green, twisted 
foliage. Slow growth. One of the finest. 
Duchess of Sutherland. We consider none finer than this semi-double, white, 6-inch bloom 
of exquisite form which occasionally has a pink stripe on one petal. Long, glossy, medium 
green foliage. Spreading growth; midseason flowering. 
Gigantea (Magnolia King). An enormous, semi-double deep red flower, marbled with 
white. Immense, dark green foliage. Tall, slow growth; late flowering. 
Surprise. A double rose-flowered form of shell-pink striped and flaked with rose-pink. When 
first open the 4-inch flowers have a perfect rose formation but in full development the 
stamens show in the center. Very choice. Midseason flowering. 
Princess Nagaskie. (var. Mallott). <A very large, semi-double soft pink flower marbled 
with white and measuring 5 to 6 inches across. It has created a sensation at Camellia shows. 
Very long, deeply serrated, dull green foliage. Low, vigorous, spreading growth; midseason 
to late flowering.
