CAMELLIA, COLONEL FIERY 
MARSH’S CAMELLIAS 
RARE AND UNUSUAL VARIETIES 
Camellias have become very popular in the last few years, for 
these ornamental evergreen shrubs have exquisitely beautiful flow- 
ers during the winter and spring. Contrary to most plants, camellias 
never get old and worn out, instead they become more valuable as 
they get larger. 
They are easy to grow in a shady, sheltered location; an acid soil 
with good drainage in which generous quantities of leaf mold or 
peat have been added. They require generous amounts of water 
during the growing season, but they should never become stagnant 
for lack of drainage. Withhold water and fertilizer during the dor- 
mant season when the flowers appear.

Mr. C. L., Reedley, Calif. 
“T purchased 12 Pasadena Tournament and Red Sweetheart roses from 
your nursery last March 16th and on June 2nd I counted 74 buds and 
blooms on one plant. To say I am delighted with them is a mild statement, 
and I will gladly recommend them to anyone as superior to anything I 
have ever seen in a tree rose and I would never dream of another rose 
garden without including a few Red Sweetheart and Pasadena Tournament 
trees roses.”
