variety ungiue. This together with its beauty as a ct flower will pro- 
duce a large demand for this variety. It will not be available for a few 
seasons, but is being published in our catalog this year so that the name 
will become established. 
LOOK AWAY—This is another sport of HERME. It has the many high 
qualities of its parent, and the same formation, but has an entirely difter- 
ent color scheme. The flower is very deep pink, and the edges of the 
petals are pure white. It is not yet available but we hope that we 
will have a good supply in a few more seasons. 
MARY BELL GLENNAN—This is a magnificent and very hardy strain 
of GIGANTEA which we have been propagating for the past few years 
in partnership with Miss Mary Bell Glennan of Norfolk, Va., in whose 
garden the parent plant originated. Its cherry red color is more brilliant 
than that of GIGANTEA and the white markings and splashes are greater 
and more pronounced.. During one of the years of propagation a severe 
freeze of seven degrees above zero completely ruined the tight buds of 
the great majority of our collection (including GIGANTEA) without any 
injury to the MARY BELL GLENNAN. Its rather late blooming season 
and large spectacular blossoms make this one of the really great 
camellias. We are offering this camellia for the first time this season 
and only a limited supply is available. Prices quoted upon request. 
CAMELLIAS 
Below are listed the varieties of camellias we have to offer this year. 
Every effort has been made to describe them correctly and assign to 
them the authoritative nomenclature of the American Camellia Society. 
In the following listings the synonymy is given as fully and as accurately 
as possible in order to help the camellia fanciers clarify their problems 
with regard to names. 
The asterisk (*) after some of the names denotes Unusual Japanese 
varieties. These are rare and very much in demand for their one or more 
superior characteristics. These frequently bloom when quite young. 
The prices quoted later on are for height alone. We have a number 
of specimen plants in all sizes. These have been pruned several times 
and are very dense and compact; most of them are well budded. Prices 
of these specimens will be quoted upon request. 
RARE VARIETIES

excellent white.
