Kare Camellias 
GROUP II 
Casa_ Blanca.- Medium rose-pink; formal, 
double. This Camellia opens over a long 
period and is beautiful in every stage. Its 
lasting qualities will make it a good cut-flower 
variety. 
Catherine Cathcart. Medium size, double, 
light pink, marbled white. Large, round, light 
green foliage. A good grower and a fine 
Camellia. 
C. N. Hastie. Medium to large, very dark red, 
peony-like flower. Dark green, round foliage 
and good grower. A very nice dark red 
Camellia. 
Colonel Firey. Very double, well-shaped flower, 
5 to 6 inches across, of brilliant crimson. One 
of the best red Camellias. Said to be true C. 
M. Hovey. 
Debutante (Sara C. Hastie). Large, peony- 
form, light pink blooms; early. Fast grower 
with large, serrated leaves of dull green. Very 
desirable. 
Emperor of Russia. Very large, deep scarlet, 
peony-form flower, with stamens intermixed. 
Large, dark green foliage. Excellent grower. 
Empress (Lady Clare; Grandiflora Rosea). 
Clear rose-pink, with two rows of petals and 
golden stamens. One of the largest, sometimes 
measuring 6 inches across. Dark green foliage; 
spreading growth. 
Firebrand. Large, scarlet-red, semi-double 
flower with rich golden stamens in center. 
Very upright growth, and one of the hardiest 
bloomers over a long period—starts early and 
blooms late. Cold doesn’t seem to damage 
the flower buds. 
H. A. Downing. Large, semi-double, bright 
red, with stamens in center. Medium dark 
green foliage and loose spreading growth. 
Free bloomer. 
Imura White. Very showy, semi-double flower

somewhat serrated.

Dawn; Wm. S. Hastie). Very large, deep 
red flowers turning purple as they age, and 
showing stamens when fully open. Fast 
grower with large, dark green foliage. 
Mathotiana Variant (C. M. Hovey). Very 
large-flowering type, similar to Purple Em- 
peror except for white blotches through the 
flower. One of the very best in flowering as 
well as growth. Large, dark green foliage with 
some variegation. 
Shiro-Botan. Local seedling. Large; white. 
Good grower. Medium-sized, light green 
foliage. A very good white.
