Camellia Japonica 
As you well know, the varieties of Camellias are listed in 
nursery catalogues according to classification. That is, the 
standard varieties are separa.ed from the rare and unusual ones, 
with the prices of the latter being considerably higher than the 
standards, because in most cases the supply of the rarer ones 
is quite limited. (You may also know that many of the stand- 
ard or lower classed varieties are just as beautiful as some of 
the so called fine ones.) In past season we, too, have listed our 
Camellias in this manner. However, this season we find our 
supply of the finer ones is just as ample as the standards. We 
are glad to offer you the benefit of this. Therefore, we are 
listing our own root Camellias without class distinction, and 
pricing them according to size only. Here’s your chance to buy 
some choice varieties. For your information we are marking 
with stars the varieties we have heretofore listed in rare groups. 
Because scme plants are bushy and others are more slender 
of growth, we are listing two prices for each size, one showing 
the size which refers to an average plant, and the other marked 
specimen, meaning bushy. The regular sizes are very fine 
plants, but naturally the ones that are more heavily branched 
are finer. Usually they are older plants. It is also a fact that 
the habit of growth of certain varieties is slender, some average, 
while others are quite bushy, and so in order to regulate prices 
more uniformly, we have listed them according to the size and 
shape of the plant. We hope this new price arrangement will 
meet with your approval, and we’re sure it will serve to your 
benefit in securing a fine plant for the price. 
Please specify the size and price when ordering. An acknowl- 
edgement will be mailed for your correction, and your order 
filled according to your instructions. Buds are scarce this year, 
but you can be assured that we will supply budded plants as far 
as possible.
