NEW RARE FINE 
SASANQUAS 
Camellia Sasanqua is moving North! Sasanquas are in demand 
—both old and new varieties. Their true hardiness is unknown! 
They can stand abuse. . . . They can take it! Sasanqua uses 
are many! 
The following varieties that are being propagated these days 
are not enough to go around. It will definitely be quite a few 
years before these finer Sasanquas can be grown in quantity 
from cuttings. ‘Wood’ is scarce! Plants are scarce! It would 
be a wise venture to get your stock plants and “‘future salesmen”’ 
now. A plant sells a plant. 
We are happy to be among the first to offer these excellent 
varieties. ...
