GRAFTED CAMELLIAS 
Camellia.varieties which are very ‘difficult to root 
or are very slow growers, usually reach blooming 
size in two or three years if grafted. The rootstock 
used is a fast growing variety such as Sarah Frost 
or one of the varieties of Camellia sasanqua. Very 
searce and rare camellias are usually grafted. Our 
price list indicates those varieties available in one 
and two year grafts. Prices vary according to age 
and size of rootstock.

RARE VARIETIES. 
Note: The sizes available—as indicated by bold 
type—are own root plants unless otherwise stated. 
ANNIE GRAY—Cherry red, semi-double with the 
petals standing out, midseason, very hardy, up- 
right growth. A very spectacular variety, contrast- 
ing the showy, upright flowers with large smooth 
petals against drooping foliage. Profuse b-oomer. 
The parent plant was introduced into Orton Gar- 
dens about 45 years ago, and its origin is unknown. 
Zones 1, 2, 8. 6-12”, 12-15”, 15-18”. 
ARAJISHI — Bright red, full peoniform, very 
early, hardy, large showy flowers. This fine va- 
riety starts blooming with us in August; we 
recommend it for the northern limits of the ca- 
mellia belt. Arajishi and Daikagura are in a class 
by themselves by reason of their extremely early 
plooming season, in addition to their very handsome 
bloom. Although these two varieties have been on 
the market for a number of years, the supply of 
them has not yet caught up with the demand. Zones 
1, 2, 3. 12-15”, 15-8”, 18-24”. 
BESSIE MACARTHUR—Clear pink, semi-double, 
midseason to late, hardy. Rapid grower, good fol- 
iage. Flowers 4-5 in. with large individual petals. 
Zones 1, 2, 3. 6-12”, 18-24”. 
CAPTAIN IKE DAVIS—Rose red, loose peoni- 
form, late, very hardy. The large parent plant of 
this variety is 50 or 60 years old, and its origin is 
obscure. Its large ruffled petaloids and sprinkling 
of golden yellow stamens together with its immense 
mote nae this variety truly outstanding. Zones 
, 2, 3. 18-247. 
CUP OF BEAUTY—Pink, semi-double, midseason 
to late, very hardy. As the bloom opens the center 
remains compact; the flower thus resembles a cup 
and saucer. The center petals unfold later showing 
a cluster of yellow stamens. A compact grower. 
Zones 1, 2, 3. 6-12”, 12-15”, 15-18”. 
DAIKAGURA — Variegated red marked with 
white, full double peoniform, very early. The pri- 
mary virtue of this superior variety is that the 
large showy flowers bloom before frost. Excellent 
for cut flowers; a must for every camellia collection 
and garden. See Arajishi for additional information. 
Zones 1, 2, 3. 6-12”, 12-15”, 15-18”. 
DEBUTANTE — Delicate pale pink, peoniform, 
early, handsome compact foliage. This rapid grow- 
ing exquisite pink peoniform makes an excellent 
cut flower. Follows closely behind Arajishi and 
Daikagura; usually in full bloom at Christmas. 
Zones 1, 2, 3. 6-12”, 12-15”, 15-18”, 18-24”.
