FOREWORD 
The Bayou Garpens Nursertgs are devoted exclu- 
sively to the raising of CAMELLIAs and Sasanquas. It 
has been found that Camellia culture is a science in 
itself and the production of strong, healthy Camellias 
and Sasanquas leaves no time to devote to the raising 
of other shrubs and ornamentals. 
The Nurseries contain many Camellias and Sasan- 
quas on their own roots, but this catalog lists only 
GRAFTED PLANTs. 
Only healthy, vigorous stock is shipped, but there 
is no guarantee that plants will live, as that depends 
upon conditions beyond our control. 
Experience shows that occasionally grafted Camel- 
lias do not bloom true in color. Grafted plants from 
scions of solid varieties sometimes show white, and 
vice versa. This is beyond the control of the nursery- 
man and we guarantee the scion as to variety only. 
We strongly urge those unfamiliar with Camellia 
culture to study some of the standard, authoritative 
works on the subject, or to employ some experienced 
person, before planting, as location and soil prepara- 
tion are essential to healthy growth. Camellias are 
valuable plants and their value increases yearly. Give 
them the intelligent care and attention they deserve. 
On some of the newer varieties our stock is neces- 
sarily limited. These plants will be sold as long as the 
supply lasts. Sometimes we are out of the particular 
S1zé graft ordered. It has been our practice in such 
cases to substitute the next smaller or larger size in 
the variety specified, and make the necessary price 
adjustment. We have never received a single com- 
plaint in this regard.
