Dear Customer: 
We offer this Camellia list in hopes that it will help you 
in deciding the varieties you wish. We specialize in Camellias 
and have over 300 varieties to pick from. If you do not find the 
variety listed that you are interested in, drop us a line and we 
may be able to spare one. Some of the varieties are so new and 
rare it takes us a while to build up a stock of them. Our cus- 
tomers should know that we have new varieties each year to sell. 
Please order Camellias by their name, size and price. Please 
allow time for shipping. We ship by express or parcel post. We 
will accept money orders or checks, or if you wish we will ship 
it C. O. D. Customer pays shipping charges. Some of the vari- 
eties listed are not always available in all sizes. Please state if 
we can substitute on sizes and varieties if sold out. 
The best time to see the Camellias blooming at the green- 
house is from January till the end of May. 
We have the newest ideas out in Camellias. “Espalier Ca- 
mellias,” in all different shapes, sizes and forms. Then we have 
tree form and umbrella form grafted Camellias. We also have 
Camellias grafted with three, four and six different varieties on 
one plant to sell. We have one Camellia with eighteen varieties 
on it, one with seventy-five varieties grafted on it and we have 
the world’s record grafted Camellia with over 100 varieties on it. 
We offer the suggestion, “Camellias for hedges,” which is 
the coming thing because they need very little pruning, are al- 
ways evergreen and have beautiful blooms. We give a 10% 
discount for 10 plants or over. 
We welcome all visitors to our Nursery and we are open 
all day on Sunday for the convenience of the customer. 
We also have Rhododendrons, Azaleas and many other ever- 
green shrubs at our Nursery. 
Sincerely yours, 
P, L. VAN DER BOM
