DESCRIPTION OF CAMELLIAS 
ADMIRAL NIMITZ (Kishu Tsukasa) — 
This, in our opinion, is one of the finest of 
the imported Japanese varieties. The leaves 
are straight, light green, pointed and heavily 
grained, similar to Laurel Leaf. Flower is 
large and a beautiful shade of pink with an 
occasional petal mottled with white. Flower 
opens flat, mid-season to late bloomer. 
AITONIA — Large, semi-double to single, 
rose pink with stamens and a few petaloids 
mixed in center. 
AMABILLIS — Large, single, pure white 
flower. Petals large and fluted. Stamens 
in a broad, compact crown. Early bloomer. 
ARIJISHI (Aloha) — Large, double, salmon- 
red, peony type flower. It blooms very early 
and is unusually pretty. The first flowers 
come in July and often times blooms through 
the camellia season. Because of the early 
blooming habit, we expect this camellia to 
be very popular in the areas which have 
damage from cold weather. 
AUDUSSON SPECIAL — Sport of Adolphe 
Audusson, flowers having a _ particularly 
beautiful variegation and often times come 
with extra petals interspersed with the 
stamens. 
BELLA ROMANA (Madam Strekaloff) —A 
medium sized camellia, with large light pink 
petals profusely striped and splashed with 
streaks of crimson. Some of the California 
nurseries list this as one of their rarest and 
best varieties. 
BLACK DRAGON—This is the English 
translation of a Japanese name of this variety 
which we imported from Japan before the 
war. It is an outstanding camellia. Flowers 
are very large and very dark red and re- 
semble in color Mrs. Charles Cobb and in 
form of the Victor Emmanuel. The edges 
of the petals are crimped and are of a much 
deeper shade than the balance of the flower. 
The few flowers that we have exhibited have 
attracted a great deal of attention. 
BROWNS RED—Dark red, semi-double. 
Compact, dark green foliage.
