CAMELLIAS 
The winter-flowering Camellias are truly the aristo- 
crats of Southern gardens, and rightly so, since who 
could imagine a better combination than a lustrous ever- 
green shrub of outstanding year-round dignity and beauty, 
together with the endless glory of magnificent blossoms in 
countless forms and colors at a time of the year when 
our Northern friends would think flowers could only 
come from the greenhouse. 
The ever-widening choice of Camellia varieties and 
species being made available makes it possible for the 
Camellia grower to have flowers on his breakfast table 
practically every morning from late August to early April. 
We have indicated the approximate blooming time for 
each variety listed below by the use of the symbols E, 
M, and L for early, mid-season, and late. In general, early 
varieties bloom before Christmas, mid-season varieties 
from Christmas to early February, and late varieties in 
February and March in this area. Of course there is much 
overlapping, and we have marked some varieties with 
two symbols to indicate this. In some seasons blooms 
come sooner or later than their normal blooming periods. 
Complete planting and cultural suggestions will be 
sent with each order or on request. There is a discussion 
of the question, “How far north will Camellias grow out- 
doors?” and a paragraph on When Should Azaleas and 
Camellias be Set Out? on page 17.
