Camellia Sasanqua 
HESE handsome flowering evergreens offer a wonderful opportunity to nurserymen 
all over the South. They grow and do well in sections where Camellia japonica is a 
failure, and can be used for screens and hedging, trimmed or otherwise, while the indi- 
vidual plants make fine specimens. 
Nurserymen in the vicinity of Fort Worth, Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta, and all 
up the Atlantic coastline and most of the Pacific Coast will be doing their clients a great 
service and will be well repaid for lining out some of our liners of Sasanqua. They make 
a much better showing than ordinary broad-leaved evergreens and shrubs, even when not 
in bloom, and when they come into flower they will add distinction to any garden. 
We have heard reports from certain sections of the country where Camellia japonica 
does not do so well, that grafting on Camellia Sasangua enabled these nurserymen to 
grow many varieties of japonica. This was not where the temperature prevented the 
growing of japonica, however. We do know that most Sasanqua will stand more abuse 
than any japonica. We have seen them grow in wet ground where japonica would not 
grow. We are using more and more Camellia Sasanqua for understock each year. The 
demand for it as understock has increased considerably in the last few years, almost de- 
pleting the supply of sizes suitable for landscape use. We advise you to cover your needs 
on this item as early as possible. i
