HODGES HARRELL NURSERY 
CAMELLIAS 
The Camellias listed in our catalogue this year are made up of 
varieties which we regard as the best. The selection has been made 
because these varieties, in our judgment, are highly desirable on ac- 
count of the excellence of the flowers; the fact that they make good 
shrubs; the habit of growth is strong and they grow into healthy, 
vigorous plants. There are other Camellias which have some of these 
qualities, but, in selecting the varieties we propagate and offer the 
trade, our purpose has been to carry only those which embrace the 
characteristics here outlined. There are a few exceptions in the list 
because of some very outstanding quality which demands that we 
grow and offer them. 
Camellias have come to be highly regarded as an evergreen 
blooming shrub for gardens in the South. They are strikingly beauti- 
ful as individual specimens planted in the lawn, at the corner of build- 
ings, or, in borders. Many gardeners in recent years have set them 
in beds in one place in the garden; dealing with them as nearly all 
gardeners formerly treated roses. There are many ways they can be 
used to advantage in landscaping. 
FEATURE CAMELLIAS 
THIS SEASON 
This small group consists of a few especially good varieties 
comparatively new to the nursery trade. Camellia fanciers cannot 
afford to be without them. 
HIGH HAT—Large, double peony type with cluster of small 
petaloids in center, pale pink. This is the very rare light pink sport 
of lovely Daikagura. Slow, upright and compact growth with large, 
pointed dull green foliage heavily serrated. Very early bloomer. 
VIRGIN’S BLUSH—A new and much talked about Camellia. 
Medium to large size, full double, blush pink. Midseason bloomer. 
Very fast up-right grower. 
MRS. BALDWIN WOOD—Medium large, irregular double 
white with a pink stripe on one or more petals. The petals lie flat 
while inner petals are in-curved and sometimes over-reach the golden 
stamens in center. Blooms last well and open at mid-season, taking 
severe cold without damage. Strong grower, tending to spread, show- 
ing dark, shiny green foliage. A handsome shrub and lovely flower. 
One of the best.
