CAMELLIA 
CAMELLIA Sasanqua 
One of the newer and finest of all the broad-leaved evergreens. Similar to the ever- 
popular Camellia japonica of the South but looser and faster growing. Plants bloom pro- 
fusely from the latter part of September through November. Sasanquas can be grown 
without protection from the vicinity of Baltimore southward and m other warm sections. 
Cinderella. Rather dense, rapid grower of pyramidal habit. Single, two-toned flowers, 
white in the center and shading to pink at the tips of the petals. Very early. 
Cleopatra. Large, cherry-red flowers, often double, and with crinkled petals. Foliage 
thick, dark and glossy. Vigorous and compact. 
Dawn (Akebono). Flowers large, single to semi-double, ivory-white changing to flesh- 
pink at the margin. Extremely hardy and blooms continue after other Sasanquas are gone. 
Mine-no-yuki (Snow-on-the-Mountain). The large, double, white flowers resemble 
a carnation and are borne in such profusion as to cover the entire plant. When young, 
it is a loose, open grower, but as it gets older it develops into a round, compact plant. 
Rosea. A graceful and upright grower with very large, single flowers of brilliant pink. 
Setsugekka. The large, semi-double flowers are pure white, with just a touch of pink at 
the ends of the slightly ruffled petals. Erect and compact. Very valuable. 
Shichifukujin. Very strong, upright grower with fine foliage. Very large, soft pink 
bloom, sometimes double. Fine landscape plant. 
Usu-beni. Semi-double to loose peony-form flowers of soft orchid-pink, with some white 
variegation. Leaves dark green, crenulated. 
Nice young plants, 8 to 15 in., $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00; 6 for $7.00; 12 for $12.50
