Armstrong Camellias 
The Camellia is by far the most popular winter and spring blooming plant 
in the Pacific Coast and Southern States. The exquisite flowers, waxy and 
delicate in texture and beautifully tinted, are perfect to cut and admire in- 
doors on table or mantel or to use for corsages. ‘The plant itself is handsome 
with its glossy, all-year foliage forming a perfect setting for the bright colored 
blooms. 
The Camellias that you get from the Armstrong Nurseries all have Armstrong 
quality. It makes a big difference in the way they will grow and bloom in 
your garden. Nearly every Camellia plant that we sell is ready to bloom 
during the next winter or spring after you plant it. Camellias grow well 
everywhere on the Pacific Coast except on the desert, and nearly everywhere 
in the Southern States. Ordinary frosts do not bother them since they are 
hardy down to 10°. Plant in a good well-drained soil and in a sheltered, 
partly shaded location.

Plena, Debutante, and Glen 40, in gal. tins, for $8.95. 
Alba Plena 
For years this has been the most sought-after white Camellia in the world. 
So lovely is its form, so fragile and delicate is its beauty that you can see at a 
glance why it has been so much admired. The very large flowers, four or five 
inches across, formal double, with many imbricated petals, open beautifully 
without ever showing the stamens. The plant is an upright grower of medium 
size. Carries Ss plenty ‘of blooms and opens them early in the season. 
Gal. tins, $3.00; 5-gal. tins, $9.00. 
Debutante 
This lovely pale pink Camellia, still quite rare, will be one of the most pop- 
ular of all because of the delicate soft coloring and the graceful pleasing 
form. ‘The medium sized flowers are acretas with delightfully arranged 
petals, and for corsages or cut flowers, or just to admire on the plant, Debu- 
tante is perfect. A tall, strong-growing eplann Blooms early. 
Gal. tins, $3. 00; 5-gal. tins, $9.09. 
Glen 40 
Here is the red Camellia that everybody who has heard of it wants to get- 
When you see the bloom you'll understand why. The very large flowers, 
3 to 5 inches across, are completely double, with many broad, beautifully 
imbricated petals of deep red, with an orange-scarlet undertone which gives 
a startlingly brilliant effect. The plant is semi-dwarf, producing plenty of 
magnificent flowers even while quite small. We are fortunate in having 
enough propagating stock to be able to offer it at a reasonable price. 
Gal. tins, $4.50; 5-gal. tins, $15.00. 
These are Only a Few 
The Camellias described and illustrated on these two pages are only a few of 
the many fine varieties that we grow. We make a specialty of Camellias and 
include in our list the very finest the world affords. Lack of space prevents 
our describing all of these kinds in these pages. Again let us emphasize that 
there is a big difference in Camellia plants. If you live in, or visit, Southern 
California, we urge you to stop in at one of our Salesyards and see for yourself 
the way in which Armstrong Camellia plants excel. 
Candida Elegantissima 
One of the largest and most gorgeous of variegated Camellias. 
The color illustration cannot possibly equal the bright cheerful 
shade of pink which this fine Camellia possesses. Very large, 
4-to-6-inch, semi-double flower of bright rose-pink, heavily mar- 
bled with white. Has 10 to 12 extremely large petals with a few 
smaller ones in the center. A slight sweet fragrance. Blooms 
midseason. Gal. tins, $2.25; 5-gal. tins, $7.50.
