New Introduction 
Several years ago the late Mr. J. C. Williams of 
Great Britain crossed the Species Camellia Saluen- 
ensis with a single Camellia Japonica in his famous 
garden at Caerhays. 
Several of the seedlings of this cross have been 
appraised as very delightful garden subjects, and 
probably the most noteworthy of the entire group 
is Camellia J. C. Williams. 
The bloom of this outstanding camellia, while not 
as large as many of the camellia blooms with which 
we are familiar, has several desirable qualities. 
The flower is of unusual bright pink color, semi- 
double with yellow stamens. Even small plants are 
very floriferous, and the buds have been known to 
remain undamaged in zero temperatures. Not only 
has this hardiness been noted in relation to cold 
but in the fact that this camellia has been able to 
withstand the bright sunlight more than any other 
variety in Great Britain. The several plants bloom- 
ing at the nursery this spring were testimonies of 
these reports. 
Recently Camellia J. C. Williams received a First 
Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural So- 
ciety of Great Britain, the first Camellia in ten 
years to obtain this award.
