K. SAWADA (U. S. Patent No. 431) 
This most outstanding new Camellia was de- 
veloped by us. The flowers are of pure white, very 
double, and fully imbricated. It is usually 4-5 inches 
in diameter, but often much larger. It has 50-70 
petals, the edges of which are rolled inward and are 
symmetrically overlapping each other. When the 
flower is fully opened it sometimes shows a few 
small petalets or yellow stamens in the center. It 
blooms from January to March, a very heavy and 
free bloomer. The leaves are medium in size and 
thickness, elliptical to lanceolate, and serrated, and 
leathery and dark green. Growth is very vigorous, 
semi-upright, and very compact and symmetrical. 
This new Camellia is much hardier than Alba Plena. 
Everyone who has seen this new Camellia agrees 
that it is the best white Camellia we have ever had 
in this country. This is the most profitable variety 
for cut flowers.
