Fall 1949. 
Dear Friends: ahah fig 
The Camellias are in bloom and I would like to 
visit you with the list of fine Container Grown 
Camellias I have selected for you. 
Last Season I had the privilege of listing the 
beautiful 1948 Introduction Arlene Lee Shepp. 
This Spring, at the 1949 Pacific Camellia Show, 
visiting experts from the Southeastern States, judged 
this variety the Best West Coast Introduction. 
This Season I have the privilege of listing two 
introductions of another grower. Both Katherine 
Nuccio and Primavera are, I believe, well worth a 
place in any top notch collection and I am proud to 
list them. 
FP. G. £2 is a showy introduction of the famous 
Rancho del Descanso. Other fine varieties recenily 
introduced by this firm include Berenice Boddy, 
Jenny Jones, Mary Charlotte, Mrs. Howard Asper, 
and Pride of Descanso. 
While I am featuring West Coast Introductions, 
and there are some fine ones, I am listing a number 
of the newer Southern varieties. I also selected a 
group of the “Old Reliables,’ as many of these 
have never been equalled, let alone surpassed. 
To my Customers in the States of Alabama, Flori- 
da, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina 
and Tennessee, I wish to especially recommend my 
list of plants from 21% and 3 inch pots. 
To my Customers in the other States, I offer the 
same high quality, gallon size Container Grown 
Camellias I have selected in past years. These may 
be shipped at any time. 
I will continue to give the same careful personal 
attention to selecting and packing all orders, whether 
shipped bare root or in the container in which they 
have grown. 
Thanking those who have entrusted me with 
their orders, and assuring you of my desire to further 
serve you, to the best of my ability, and your entire 
satisfaction, I am 
Very truly yours,
