MAGNOLIA GARDENS AND NURSERIES 
CALIFORNIANS 
Due to your quarantine restrictions, only defoliated camellias 
can be shipped into California unless you obtain a special permit 
from the California Department of Agriculture. 
GRAFTED PLANTS 
Due to some influence in the understock beyond our control, 
occasionally a heretofore solid color variety will bloom variegated. 
We guarantee the scion as to variety, but if it blooms true or not 
is another matter. In every case reported, the variegated form has 
been far more desirable than the solid one. There are many theories 
as to this behavior, but we have drawn no conclusions as to the cause. 
Our understocks were heavily root pruned before grafting. 
When you receive one of our grafts you will be sure to have every 
root which grew the top. 
Grafted camellias are graded according to their own merits. 
A straight stem graft will not be priced the same as a bushy one 
the same height but will be sold in a lower grade. 
The Tea Garden, Summerville, S. C. 
We have the sole camellia propagating rights at the Tea Garden.

a commercial enterprise.
