JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA 
recently. Our stock came from the original plant imported from the 
Guichard sisters, Nantes, France. 
MARTIN ROBERTS (Woodville Red)—Enormous, peony type 
bloom almost round like a ball with numerous and long petals, a 
few yellow stamen intermingled. In November the color is deep 
rose pink. Later, as colder weather comes, the color is dark, lively 
red. Tall vigorous, compact grower in full sun, but rather open in 
shade. Leaves are pale green and twisted. Long blooming period, 
but not free flowering until the plant grows older. An outstanding 
Camellia for which we expect a great future. 
WHITE EMPRESS—Extremely large semi-double white. Stamen 
massed in center cast a yellow glow over the entire bloom. Early 
bloomer. A handsome shrub rather tall and dense with rich green 
leaves. An outstanding Camellia. A midseason bloomer. 
ADMIRAL NIMITZ—The bloom somewhat resembles Laurel 
Leaf, beautiful shade of pink with most flowers variegated white. 
Petals tend to stand up and curve inward. Heavy bloomer. Foliage 
long, narrow and light green. Tall, strong grower. One of the best 
of the new varieties. 
IWANA SHIBORI—Large, semi-double flower, opening like a 
saucer with prominent cluster of yellow stamen in center. Cherry red, 
marbled with pure white, affording a conspiculously beautiful blos- 
som. Large thick pointed dark green foliage. Upright compact slow 
grower, but vigorous and sturdy. A midseason bloomer. Regarded as 
an outstanding new variety. 
MRS. FREEMAN WEISS—A fairly large semi-double soft pink | 
with loose, wavy petals, showing stamen mixed with small petals in 
center. Last season one of our stock plants bloomed heavily varie- 
gated with white. These flowers were lovely and we hope our graftings 
from that plant will develop similarly. Light green, pointed leaves. 
Upright, fast, bushy grower. One of the best, midseason bloomer. 
BLACK DRAGON—Flowers very large, shaped somewhat like 
Victor Emanuel. Colored very dark, deep red like rich Port Wine. 
Petals are long, stand upright, are crinkled at edges and are darker 
at margins. Yellow stamen show at center. Large dark green leaves, 
a moderate grower and good shrub. One of the best new varieties to 
appear in years.
