Alba Plena. (E-M). Large snow-white imbri- 
cated double, blooming from October through 
January, it is one of the oldest and most out- 
standing Camellia varieties. We have special- 
ized for many years in growing. fine Alba 
Plenas and have hundreds of plants from 5 
to 10 feet tall and many thousands of smaller 
ones. They comprise what we are told is the 
largest collection of Alba Plenas in the world. 
The historical records indicate that Alba 
Plena is the oldest variety in Camellia cul- 
ture to come down to us with the same name, 
and yet it is still fine and rare and much 
sought-after. It is an excellent grower, with 
long, pointed, twisted leaves that are often 
beautifully variegated. Alba Plena has a 
reputation of being easily hurt by cold and 
Wwe advise persons some distance away from 
the coast to take precautions. We do know, 
however, that they are grown in Montgomery 
and even have reports of persons growing 
them outdoors in Birmingham and Atlanta, 
and it has been suggested that some other 
condition may be a contributing factor when 
damage occurs. In our loamy, well-drained 
soil we have never had any cold injury to 
large Alba Plena bushes other than discolora- 
tion of foliage. We offer a complete range of 
sizes as follows:
