verest freeze of many years. Grafted, 12”-15”, 15”-18”, 18”-24”.

Sawada” in memory of the late Mrs. K. Sawada. She devoted much of her time in helping 
the development of these new varieties. Grafted, 24”. 
The flower is full double, gardenia-type, imbricated. It is 3 to 314 inches in diameter, con- 
sisting of 70 to 100 petals. Color is delicate pink, shaded on white. The flower resembles the 
flower of Lady Hume’s Blush somewhat, but is slightly larger in size, blooms heavily from 
February to March. The lasting quality as a cut flower is exceptionally good. The leaves are 
small, of finer texture, very vigorous, upright grower, very compact, with long, slender branches. 
Its resisting power against freeze is very great. 
Many florists who have seen this flower agree that this is the most ideal Camellia flower for 
their corsage work. This Camellia is sold under contract from patentee.
