CAMELLIAS 
Texans are finding that camellias are not really hard to grow 
if a little extra care is taken. The plants must have acid soil 
and acid fertilizer, and be grown in partial shade. Prices, $3.00 
and up, depending on size and variety. 
CHANDLERI ELEGANS—Very large peony type flowers, with 
a great number of petals. Rose-red blotched white. Heavy 
bloomer.

large, formal type flower, perfectly shaped.

fall and continuing for months. Blossoms are loose, peony-type

with loosely curled petals. Color is a uniform soft pink. 
HERME—Large, semi-double light pink bordered white and

POPE PIUS—The glowing, deep red color of these flowers com- 
bined with excellent double formal shape make this a favorite.

thickly crowded center petals in a peony type flower.

companion to Pink Perfection. Rapid growth. 
PURPLE DAWN (Mathotiana)—One of the largest and most spec- 
tacular varieties. The blooms are purplish red, broad, flattened, 
and perfectly symmetrical. A really excellent strain.

ing plants and earlier, more abundant blooms than the series 
described above. Available in pink, white, red and variegated 
varieties.

CAMELLIA 
AZALEA HINODEGIRI 
AZALEAS 
Azaleas, like camellias, require an acid soil and partial shade for 
best growth, but the extra effort is richly rewarded with bloom in 
the spring. The Kurumes are smaller flowered and hardier than the 
Indicas. Priced from 89c, depending on size. 
KURUME VARIETIES 
Very hardy Japanese types. 
CORAL BELLS—Dainty, bell-shaped, coral-pink flowers on compact, 
relatively small plants. Leaves are small, round and glossy. 
HINODEGIRI—Highly popular azalea because of its immense num- 
ber of flowers. The plants are actually one solid mass of vivid, fiery 
red blossoms during its blooming period in the spring. Hardy. 
SNOW—This Kurume provides relief for the blazing color of its mates 
with pure white, hose-in-hose flowers. Glossy foliage. 
INDICA VARIETIES 
DAPHNE SALMON—A very beautifully colored strain, with that pure, 
translucent quality found in nothing except azaleas. Th's variety glows 
pure salmon. Medium size flowers; quite hardy plants. 
ELEGANS—You'll get quick growth from this strain. It stands upright, 
and produces its flowers early in the spring. The flowers are similar 
in form to Formosa, but a beautiful, light pink color. 
FORMOSA—Large, dark green leaves and big, purplish pink flowers. 
Rapid in growth and generous in bloom, this is one of the favorites 
all over the South. 
PRIDE OF MOBILE—The leading Indica variety. It justifies its popu- 
larity fully with its tremendous display of deep watermelon-pink flow- 
ers. If you grow just one variety, make it this one.
