NEW AND RARE CAMELLIA 
The Camellia Everyone Is Talking About 
RETICULATA 
Have you seen the wonderful specimen of Camellia which is 
kept under lock and key at the University of California 
Botanical Gardens? Such beautiful flowers and unusual foliage. 
A sight you will long remember! 
This old and rare Camellia was discovered in the Yunnan 
Province of China, about 1820. It is still one of the most 
rare and beautiful varieties. 
Extremely large semi-double deep pink flowers, petals much 
ruffled and irregular. Foliage long pointed, light green and 
heavily veined. Loose, upright growth. Very late bloomer. 
Price: $25.00 each. 

Camellias 
Of all the evergreen shrubs grown in California, few can rival 
the lovely Camellia’s exquisite beauty. They bloom through- 
out the winter and spring months with a succession of flowers 
in single, semi-double to full double and some peony-type with 
the center made up of many twisted and tightly placed petals 
much like the Peony. Even after the blooming season is over 
the deep glossy foliage and dense habit of growth present an 
attractive appearance. They are easy to grow in a sheltered lo- 
cation. In San Francisco they can be planted in full sun. Where 
the climate is warmer a location giving them shade during 
the hottest part of the day is desirable, for example, on the 
east side of a building. The soil should be slightly acid and 
well drained. Before planting work in a generous amount of 
leaf mold and peat moss, plus sand if you have a heavy soil. 
Fertilize Camellias, Azaleas and Rhododendrons with ACID 
fertilizers.
