DESCRIPTION OF CAMELLIAS 
ADMIRAL NIMITZ (Kishu Tsukasa) — 
This, in our opinion, is one of the finest of 
the imported Japanese varieties. The leaves 
are straight, light green, pointed and heavily 
grained, similar to Laurel Leaf. Flower is 
large and a beautiful shade of pink with an 
occasional petal mottled with white. Flower 
opens flat, mid-season to late bloomer. 
AITONIA — Large, semi-double to single, 
rose pink with stamens and a few petaloids 
mixed in center. 
AMABILLIS — Large, single, pure white 
flower. Petals large and fluted. Stamens 
in a broad, compact crown. Early bloomer. 
APPLE BLOSSOM —A single, very pale 
pink — sometimes has a light fragrance. 
ADOLPHE AUDUSSON — This is one of 
the finest types of semi-double camellias, 
varying from deep red to red and white 
variegated, with very large 5 to 6-inch 
blooms, with prominent stamens irregularly 
arranged among the heavy-textured broad 
petals. Handsome, large deep green leaves. 
We cannot recommend it too highly to lovers 
of the finest in camellias, as we consider it 
the best camellia of its type that we have 
ever grown. 
AUDUSSON SPECIAL — Sport of Adolphe 
Audusson, flowers having a_ particularly 
beautiful variegation and often times come 
with extra petals interspersed with the 
stamens. 
BLACK DRAGON—This is the English 
translation of a Japanese name of this variety 
which we imported from Japan before the 
war. It is an outstanding camellia. Flowers 
are very large and very dark red and re- 
semble in color Mrs. Charles Cobb and in 
form of the Victor Emmanuel. The edges 
of the petals are crimped and are of a much 
deeper shade than the balance of the flower. 
The few flowers that we have exhibited have 
attracted a great deal of attention. 
BRILLIANT— Full Double red. _ Petals 
curve slightly at edges. Mid-season bloomer.
