ROEDING’s QUALITY CAMELLIAS are Easy To Grow 
PICTURED IN NATURAL COLOR ON THE PAGES FOLLOWING 
Camellias belong to a select group of evergreen tree-like plants we sometimes 
call “the aristocrats of the garden’—and with good reason! Their beauti- 
ful glossy, dark green foliage, and the perfection of form exhibited by their 
waxy-petalled flowers are never-ending sources of delight. They bloom from 
November into the spring. As a class, Camellias have grown rapidly in 
popular favor. Sacramento in particular has made the Camellia its own, and 
the city’s Annual Camellia Show attracts nation-wide interest. The plants 
usually grow to a height of 10 to 15 feet, sometimes higher. They will tolerate 
sun, but do best in partial shade. Our selection is augmented during the 
season, and represents the finest of the new varieties as well as the estab- 
lished favorites.
