HODGES HARRELL NURSERY 
RARE CAMELLIAS 
The varieties here listed are highly regarded by experts and are 
scarce. No nursery has them in abundance. Some of them are 
new and all of them are in such demand as to prevent accumulation 
in quantity. 
WHITE 
BESSIE BELLINGRATH—Semi-double white with delicate 
blush pink, formed somewhat like Snowdrift, but with many more 
petals. Midseason bloomer. Slow, up-right grower with long nar- 
row, dull green leaves. Very highly regarded. 
WHITE CRANE (Haku Tsuru)—A very fine white shaped like 
Victor Emanuel and as large. Large, light green leaves. A tall 
open grower but vigorous and hardy. 
WHITE SWAN—Large semi-double white, opening rather flat 
with prominent stamens. The outer petals show light pink on the 
back. Midseason bloomer. Fast, up-right grower with narrow, long, 
thick leaves dark green.

stand apart and are shaded white at margins. Few stamens. Foliage 
light green. Rounded growth, vigorous, symmetrical and medium 
height. Blooms from early to late midseason. 
CHALICE—A new Camellia which bids fair to become very 
popular. A beautiful shade of soft baby pink. Medium size flower

The variety is new and its growth characteristics are not known. A 
midseason bloomer.

flower. A midseason bloomer. Vigorous, up-right, open grower. 
Very attractive. 
LILA ROSA—Deep, clear pink flower, formed somewhat like 
Debutante, sometimes showing a few white specks. Blooms early and 
continues through midseason. Fast, willowy growth, with large, 
ene green foliage. Another new seedling which is regarded very 
ighly. 
ROSEA SUPERBA—A very large, full double and imbricated 
bloom, soft, light pink, often 6 inches in diameter. A very free 
bloomer from early to late season. Foliage large, dull green. Growth

We regard this variety as the best pink Camellia.
