size, perfect form, length of stem and vigorous 
growth.

blooms on long stems. One of the choicest in 
its class. Plants are vigorous and medium to 
tall; the blooms hold up well when cut.

white because of the abundance of large well 
formed blooms produced throughout the season. 
SHERWOOD’S PEACH. (J.D.) Enormous 10 
inch blooms of orange-apricot on husky stems. 
Bushy plants 3 ft. tall. Should be planted as

petals which are sometimes incurved, some- 
times only slightly twisted. Plants 5 ft. tall.

GIANT CAMELLIA-FLOWERED TYPE. No one who 
has successfully grown these showy flowers is 
ever without a planting of them. The fact that 
they do best in a partially shaded place recom-

have the problem of shade. Give them fairly 
rich soil a reasonable amount of moisture and 
protection from strong winds and you will be 
rewarded with glorious color until frost. Ideal 
for shady window boxes.
