Dear Customer: 
We offer this Camellia list in hopes that it will help you 
in deciding the varieties you wish. We specialize in Camel- 
lias and have over 300 varieties to pick from. If you do 
not find the variety listed that you are interested in, drop 
us a line and we may be able to spare one.’ Some of the 
varieties are so new and rare it takes us a while to build up 
a stock of them. Our customers should know that we have 
new varieties each year to sell. 
Please order Camellias by their name, size and price. 
Please allow time for shipping. We ship by express or 
parcel post. We will accept money orders or checks, or if 
you wish we will ship it C. O. D. Customer pays shipping 
charges. Some of the varieties listed are not always avail- 
able in all sizes. Please state if we can substitute on sizes 
and varieties if sold out. 
The best time to see the Camellias blooming at the 
greenhouse is from January till the end of May. 
We have the newest ideas out in Camellias. ‘“Espalier 
Camellias,” in all different shapes, sizes and forms. Then 
we have tre form and umbrella form grafted Camellias. 
We also have Camellias grafted with three, four and six 
different varieties on one plant to sell. We have one Ca- 
mellia with eighteen varieties on it, one with seventy-five 
varieties grafted on it and we have the world’s record 
grafted Camellia with one hundred and fifty different 
varieties on it. 
We offer the suggestion, ‘Camellias for hedges,” which 
is the coming thing because they need very little pruning, 
is always evergreen and have beautiful blooms. We give a 
10% discount for 10 plants or over. 
We welcome all visitors to our Nursery and we are open 
all day on Sunday for the convenience of the customer. 
We also have Rhododendrons, Azaleas and many other 
evergreen shrubs at our Nursery. 
Sincerely yours, 
P. L. VAN DER BOM
