CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
The winter-flowering Camellia Japonicas are truly the © 
aristocrats 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 every — 
morning from late August to early April. We have indicated 
the approximate blooming time for each variety. In general, 
early varieties are at the height of their bloom before Christ- 
mas, 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 
on request. There is included a discussion of the question 
“How far north will Camellias grow outdoors?” and a para- 
graph on When Should Azaleas and Camellias be Set Out? 
(The Camellia Sasanqua list immediately follows this 
Camellias Japonica list).
