Empress. An immense, semi-double deep pink flower with golden stamens in the center. 
Deep green foliage. Tall, slow growth; early flowering. Own Root, 15”-18”, 18”-24”, 24”- 
30”, 36”-40”. 
Helen of Troy. (Do not confuse with H. A. Downing which is sometimes listed as Helen of 
Troy. This variety is not the same or in any way similar.) Very large, deep pink, sym- — 
metrical petalage characterizes this variety which opens flat with showy stamens when 
fully expanded. The long, glossy, medium-sized foliage resembles that of Mathotiana Rubra. 
Vigorous in growth. Own Root, 24”-30”. 
No. 113. Grandiflora Rosea. Usually described as semi-double or loose peony-flowered 
type; the large petals of the 5-inch blooms are veined with deep rose. A row of twisted petals 
which stand apart make this Camellia one of exceptional form. Large, glossy green foliage. 
Grafted, 24”. 
Rosea Superba. A very large, double, deep pink flower of the Mathotiana Rubra type out- 
standing for its free-flowering habit. Foliage is typical of the type—long, dull green. 
Growth upright and vigorous; flowering season early to late. We consider it our finest and 
largest pink Camellia. Grafted, 18”’-24”, 24”-30", 36” and 40”. 
Eleanor Haygood. This is one of the most handsome delicate pink Camellias yet offered the 
public. Its rose form flowers upon opening develop fully showing a few short stamens when 
completely open. Foliage large dull green. Flowering late in the season. Growth upright, 
symmetrical. Origin, Magnolia Gardens. Grafted, 12”-15”, 15”-18”, 18”-24”, 36” and 40”. 
Lady Dunn. Originating at Loxley, Alabama, comes this lovely early large flowering peony 
form Camellia. The color is pleasing deep pink to rose pink. Occasionally stripes of red are 
found on a petal. Foliage is long pointed dull green. Growth slow and open inclined to be 
willowy. Own Root, 15”’-18”, 30-86”. 
Magnoliaeflora. This lovely semi-double pale pink Camellia is in great demand, flowering 
in midseason. Foliage very glossy medium green pointed. Slow loosely upright growth. 
Origin unknown. Own Root, 18”’-24”; Grafted, 12”-15”, 15”-18”, 18”-24”, 36” and 40”. 
Pink Marquise d’Exeter. This is a solid pink Sport of the variegated form. Has the early 
flowering habit of the parent. Foliage, growth, time of bloom and long lasting flowers are 
all inherent from the parent. Own Root, 24”’-30”. 
Souv. de Bahaud-Liton. (Lady Francis, Carol Lombard). This full double shell- 
pink, late flowering Camellia is evidently a Sport of the late flowering Mathotiana Alba. 
It has all of the latter’s habits and appearance except that it is light pink. Origin not known, 
possibly general. Own Root, 18”’-24”; Grafted 24”. 
Anna Bruneau. This double deep pink rose bud form Camellia is a late bloomer, resembling 
in form the Mathotiana Alba. It should be planted in shade as it will not develop fine flow- 
ers when exposed to full sun. Foliage is large deep glossy green. Growth upright. Its origin 
is not known to me. Own Root, 18”-24”; Grafted, 24”. 
Crepe Rosette (Middletoni, No. 6). Measuring 41% inches in diameter, the deep pink 
semi-double blooms have three rows of outer petals which are twisted and intermingled 
with the stamens. They are veined with red, and white margins mark each petal of this va- 
riety, which is considered one of the finest from the Middleton Gardens. Foliage light green. 
Symmetrical growth of medium height. Early to late flowering. Grafted, 18’-24”. 
Lady Hume’s Blush. This is the true strain imported from Europe many years ago. Best 
described as shell-pink to white. It varies from 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Long-pointed light 
green foliage and slow, slender growth characterizes this variety. Grafted, 12”-15”, 15”’-18”, 
24'-307 and 1367.
