HODGES HARRELL NURSERY 
CAMELLIAS 
The Camellias listed in our catalogue this year are made 
up of varieties which we regard as the best. The selection has 
been made because these varieties, in our judgment, are highly 
desirable on account of the excellence of the flowers; the fact 
that they make good shrubs; the habit of growth is strong and 
they grow into healthy, vigorous plants. There are other 
Camellias which have some of these qualities, but, in selecting 
the varieties we propagate and offer the trade, our purpose has 
been to carry only those which embrace the characteristics here 
outlined. There are a few exceptions in the list because of 
some very outstanding quality which demands that we grow 
and offer them. 
Camellias have come to be highly regarded as an ever- 
green blooming shrub for gardens in the South. They are strik- 
ingly beautiful as individual specimens planted in the lawn, 
at the corner of buildings, or, in borders. Many gardeners in 
recent years have set them in beds in one place in the garden; 
dealing with them as nearly all gardeners formerly treated roses. 
There are many ways they can be used to advantage in land- 
scaping. , 
FEATURE CAMELLIAS 
THIS SEASON 
This small group consists of a few especially good varieties 
comparatively new to the nursery trade. Camellia fanciers 
cannot afford to be without them. 
HIGH HAT—Large, double peony type with cluster of small 
petaloids in center, pale pink. This is the very rare light pink 
sport of lovely Daikagura. Slow, upright and compact growth 
with large pointed dull green foliage heavily serrated. Very 
early bloomer. ; 
VIRGIN’S BLUSH—A new and much talked about Camellia. 
Medium to large size, full double, blush pink. Midseason 
bloomer. Very fast up-right grower. 
MRS. BALDWIN WOOD—Medium large, irregular double 
white with a pink stripe on one or more petals. The petals lie 
flat while inner petals are in-curved and sometimes over-reach 
the golden stamens in center. Blooms last well and open at 
mid-season, taking severe cold without damage. Strong grower, 
tending to spread, showing dark, shiny green foliage. A hand- 
some shrub and lovely flower. One of the best.
