variety. The medium sized flowers have four 
rows of broad petals with light pink back- 
ground, and bold heavy stripes of deeper pink. 
5-gallon tins, $15.00. 
APPLEBLOSSOM. A _ splendid variety as a 
landscape shrub, upright, shapely, with attrac- 
tive leaves. The medium sizea flowers are 
like wild roses, white suffused pink, with a 
delicate fragrance. 5-gallon tins, 2 to 3 ft., 
each $5.50. 
BLOOD OF CHINA. This Camellia of rare 
beauty is one of the most sought after varie- 
ties. The very large flower, of exquisite fully 
rounded form, is velvety, glowing, orange red, 
with the golden stamens showing in the center 
of the attractively waved petals. Foliage is 
dense, deep glossy green. 5-gallon tins, each 
$12.50. 
CHANDLERI ELEGANS. One of the most 
beautiful of all Camellias. Flowers, often seven 
inches across, are rose pink, lightly splashed 
with white, and beautifully displayed on the 
bushes against a background of large, richly 
glossy leaves. One of these great blooms, with 
tufted center, makes a luxurious corsage. Even 
the small plants produce quantities of bloom.

EMPRESS. (Grandiflora Rosea) One of the 
JARVIS RED. A very fine double bright red 
Camellia, little known on the Coast, but pop- 
ular in the South. The great brilliance of the 
petals is enchanced by the bright yellow sta- 
mens. 5-gallon tins, each $6.50. 
KUMASAKA. Fanciers consider this the fin- 
est of the deep pink Camellias. The very large 
flowers are of rose form, with broad petals

cellent keeping qualities. The tall, strong 
bushes are exceedingly free flowering. 5-gal- 
lon tins, 114-2 ft., $7.50; 2-3 ft., $12.50. 
LOTUS. Probably the most spectacular of 
all white Camellias, the huge flowers resemble 
great white water lilies, with large petals and 
golden center. Extremely free flowering; small 
plants should be disbudded to encourage 
growth. Large, distinctive foliage. Gallon tins, 
$3.50; 5-gallon tins, $10.00.

PINK BALL. The prize variety of all the lighter pink 
Camellias, this is simply exquisite. Soft La France pink

sage or for florists’ use. Very rare. Gallon tins, $3.00; 
5-gallon tins, 112-2 ft., $7.50. 
PINK STAR. A wonderful, rare Camellia. It is impos- 
sible to describe the breathtaking beauty of this lovely 
flower, nor can a colored reproduction show the fine tex- 
ture and remarkable substance of its petals, which are 
exquisitely arranged. It is such a rare clear color, so 
beautifully formed, so lasting, that it seems almost too 
lovely to be real. Gallon tins, $3.00; 5-gallon tins, 112- 
2 ft., $7.50.

upright. Gallon tins, $2.00; 5-gallon 
tins, 112-2 ft., $6.50; 2-3 ft., $8.50.

Camellias are not difficult to grow, succeeding everywhere on the Pacific Coast 
except in desert and high mountain regions. Plant them as ornamental flowering 
shrubs in shade or semi-shade, using plenty of leaf mold or peat in the soil. 
Do not plant Camellias too deep. Never should the stem be covered deeper 
than it was in the container or ball in which it was received. With good drainage 
and plenty of water during the summer, success is assured. 
Lovely flowers, to use in bowls, or for corsages, will be produced even on small 
plants. If you do not have space in your garden, you will find great pleasure in 
growing Camellias in pots or tubs.
