Camellias are truly the aristocrats of the garden. Character 
is built into every sturdy branch, each varnished leaf, each long- 
lasting, colorful bloom. As a background for Azaleas, Ferns 
and other shade loving plants Camellias are unexcelled. Their 
smooth, dark foliage will accentuate the color of flowers planted 
in front of them. 
Fortunately, Camellias are exceptionally pest free, are not 
injured by frost and, once established, should provide a life time 
of colorful satisfaction. 
This year we have added a number of outstanding varieties, 
some of them quite new, that we are sure you will enjoy 
having in your gardens. 
CAMELLIAS — OLD AND NEW 
ADOLPH AUDUSSON. Immense, semi-double, rich deep red, looking like velvet, 
the majority of the blooms variegated with pure white. The plant is vigorous and compact, 
with dark green, rounded foliage. Dec. to March. 1-gal., $6.00. 
ALBA PLENA. The most sought after white Camellia. The medium sized flowers are 
of lovely form, delicate and chiffon-like with overlapping petals that never show the stamens. 
The bushy plant has a spreading habit of growth, with pale green foliage, requiring more shade 
than most Camellias. The earliest white, blooming some seasons from Thanksgiving until 
March. 1-gal., $3.50; 5-gal., $10.00. 
ALBA SUPERBA. Large informal, semi-double pure white Camellia. Showy stamens 
are interspersed among its large petals. Good sized, light green foliage makes a fine back- 
ground. Blooms in mid-season. 1-gal., $2.50; 5-gal., $6.75. 
ALOHA. A full peony, medium sized Camellia of dark salmon-rose with large outer 
guard petals. A magnificent bloom and one of the finest grown. Of fast open growth with 
heavily veined foliage. The earliest red Camellia. Oct. to Feb. 1-gal., $3.00; 5-gal., $8.75. 
AURORA BOREALIS. The large waved flower is a semi-double white, streaked and 
splashed with rose. In the center is an interesting mass of twisting stamens. Both plant and 
foliage are of medium size. Mid-season bloomer. 1-gal., $2.50; 5-gal., $6.75. 
BELLA ROMANA. A sstriking variegated Camellia, double arid large petaled. The 
color varies in individual flowers but is a rich pink splashed with streaks of deep rose. The 
texture is that of crepe paper. Jan. to March. l1-gal., $2.50; 5-gal., $7.00. 
BLANCHETTE. A single, pure white, fragrant Sasanqua with yellow center, the blos- 
soms somewhat resembling those of the Dogwood. The plant makes a sturdy and upright 
shrub with small, green-gray foliage. Oct. to Jan. 1-gal., $2.75; 5-gal., $6.25. 
BLOOD OF CHINA. A velvety orange-red blossom, large, loose and informally double, 
of the peony type. The yellow stamens show occasionally, intermingled with the small cen- 
ter petals. It blooms late in the season but quite freely. The plant is vigorous and spreading; 
the foliage rounded, glossy and deep green. One of the most sought after and prized of Ca- 
mellias. Jan. to April. 1-gal., $3.00; 5-gal., $8.75. 
CAPRICE. A double creamy white Camellia with something of the texture of a gardenia. 
Its stamens are interspersed capriciously among the small center petals. The bloom has a 
slight fragrance. The plant is bushy; its foliage substantial and of a deep green color. Jan: 
to March. 1-gal., $3.00; 5-gal., $6.75. 
"CAPTAIN MARTIN’S FAVORITE. A variegated formal double Camellia with im- 
bricated light rosy-red petals marbled with white. The foliage of medium green is long and 
sharply pointed. Though slow in growth the plant is compact and symmetrical and blooms 
freely when quite small. Nov. to March. 1-gal., $6.00. 
CHANDLERI ELEGANS. The Camellia that makes everyone exclaim. Enormous peony 
flowered bloom with tightly curled center petals among a fringe of large ones. The bloom is 
soft rose splotched with white. Though the shrub is of moderate growth, it is bushy and the 
flowers are produced even when the plant is small. Fine to espalier. Dec. to April. 1-gal., 
$2.00; 5-gal., $6.75.
