RARE CAMELLIAS, GROUP 2 
ALBA SUPERBA. Beautiful, semi-double, pure white 
Camellia, 4 to 5 inches across. Vigorous and spreading 
in growth. This variety is often known on the Pacific 
Coast as Rev. John G. Drayton. 
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 white. 
COLONEL FIREY. See page 27. 
DAIKAGURA. Probably the earliest bloomer of all 
Camellia japonicas. In the Mobile 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. One of the best for cut-flowers. 
See illustration below. 
EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. See page 26. 
FANNY BOLLIS. Very large, semi-double red flowers 
blotched white. See illustration on inside back cover. 
GIGANTEA. Very large leaves and spreading branches. 
Red and white flowers are peony-form and of good size. 
See illustration on inside back cover. 
KUMASAKA, VARIEGATED. Large, peony-form blooms 
of deep pink but with white spots. 
LADY CLARE. Immense, single pink flowers. Probably 
the largest of all Camellias. 
LADY VAN SITTART, VARIEGATED. Identical in 
growth and habit to the well-known pink variety, but 
the flowers are beautifully striped or marked with white. 
LAUREL LEAF. Flowers large, full double, with numer- 
ous narrow petals having recurved edges and opening 
very flat; light salmon-rose, marbled white. Upright 
and compact, with rather narrow foliage of a pleasing 
shade of green. See color illustration on page 30.
