CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
at ite 
ALBA PLENA:* True type and justly rated the best of 
all white sorts, with snow-white chiffon-like flowers, to 4” in 
diameter, of incredible symmetry. The blooms of this Camel- 
lia have, in years past, retailed as high as $12.00 per dozen. 
A good grower and free bloomer; of bushy, spreading habit. 
Foliage a lighter green than most kinds. Jan.-Mar. 
ALBA PLENA FIMBRIATA:* Rare. Blooms like the above 
in every respect except the petals are gracefully imbricated 
and fringed on the edges. Not quite so vigorous a grower, 
but a more exquisite flower would be hard to imagine. 
Jan.-Mar. 
AMABILIS:* Rare. A tall grower, bearing in profusion 
wide open single flowers of good size. The stamens flare, 
displaying the showy golden anthers to great effect. A rapid 
grower, with the best of foliage. One of the choicest. Jan.-Apr. 
CAPRICE: A double creamy white, with high center and 
gardenia-like texture, from 4 to 5 in. in diameter. The name 
is derived from its habit of sending iis stamens irregular- 
ly throughout the petals. This bushy type with its heavy 
dark green foliage is distinct and charming. Jan.-Mar. 
DEAREST:* Rare. It is indeed difficult to describe this 
distinguished flower. A large semi-double, of perfect form, 
whose swirled petals of wondrous texture surround the 
showy golden stamens, stiffly erect. A prolific bloomer, of 
compact habit and perfect foliage, this camellia leaves little 
to be desired. Dec.-Mar. 
ELIZABETH:* . A delectable flower with great appeal; 
compact, double and incurved petal edges. It bears an oc- 
casional shell-pink flower. Has large, glossy foliage, and 
is.a strong grower and profuse bloomer. Jan.-Mar. 
LOTUS:* The largest of the semi-double whites. Its 
exquisite waterlily form shows to advantage its spectacular 
golden stamens. Profuse bloomer. Of rapid and upright 
habit of growth, with long, glossy, dark green, pendulant 
foliage, corresponding in size to its enormous flowers. New 
and rare, and positively the last word in Camellias. Jan.-Apr. 
NOBILISSIMA: A pure white, with tightly curled formal 
paeony center edged wiih a double row of broader petals. 
Medium sized blooms. A tall upright grower and free 
bloomer. Nov.-Mar. 
PINE CONE: Is decidedly suggestive of its name, with 
its wavy petals and high center. A true double and fine 
bloomer. Very lovely. Feb.-Apr. 
PURITY: One of the loveliest. Pure white and perfectly 
symmetrical in shape. Flowers unusually large and beautiful, 
borne in great abundance. Tall, rapid grower. No good 
collection is complete without at least one of these. Jan.-Mar. 
THE SWAN: This rather prostrate type bears its semi- 
double flowers in great profusion and is entirely different 
from any other Camellia we know. It lends itself charmingly 
to use in pots, tubs or hanging baskets; is extremely bushy 
and grows to 4 ft. Jan.-Mar. 
SNOW MAIDEN:  —_ An upright and vigorous grower, bear- 
ing quantities of small quaint flowers with incurved petal 
ree Particularly lovely for table decoration and corsages. 
Jan.-Mar.
