grows very vigorously and has thick, heavy, coarse 
branches. The leaves are exceptionally large and 
are very shiny dark green. 
C. M. Hovey — In habit of growth and shape and 
form of flowers, it is very much like Purple Emperor, 
but the beautiful, double, large red flowers are 
mottled with white. Very showy. 
Colonel Firey (William S. Hastie). — Very large, ex- 
tremely double flower, with many small petals of 
glowing rich crimson. A late bloomer. 
Diakagura—Probably the earliest bloomer of all Cam- 
ellia japonicas. In our section it is nearly always in 
bloom in September and often is showing color in 
August . Flowers large, thick peony-type, deep rose 
color with large white blotches, sometimes imbricated. 
Debutante (Sara C. Hastie) — Delicate shade of solid 
pink; large peony-form. Very hardy. 
Imura — Semi-double flower 5 to 6 inches in diameter, 
consisting of 15 large petals of a snowy white and 
porcelain texture and numerous yellow stamens in 
the center. The anthers of the flower is very large 
and shaped like an arrow or spear, very distinct from 
other varieties. Blooms mid-season. Leaves are large, 
narrow and long, smooth, very shiny dark green. 
Emperor of Russia. A dazzling red hybrid that takes 
first place in any garden when it is in bloom. This 
brilliantly colored red flower is peony-like in form 
with golden stamens among the inner twisted petals. 
Very often the flowers appear to be four or five in 
one. Slow, bushy growth with dark green foliage. 
We consider this the finest red-flowering peony-form 
variety. 
Rising Sun — This is one of the best single flowered 
Camellias that we have. The flower which is 4 to 5 
inches in diameter opens flat showing 6 large petals 
and numerous yellow stamens. Certainly a beautiful 
flower — bright crimson red of velvety softness. 
Anthers are a bright yellow, filaments pink. 
Sara-Sa — Semi-double flower 4 to 5 inches in dia- 
meter. Has 12 large petals and yellow stamens at 
the center. Flesh color dotted and striped with dark- 
er pink. Blooms mid-season. Large leaves; very
