CAMELLIA, FRANK GIBSON 
New Thomasville Camellia, FRANK GIBSON 
For charm and distinctiveness here is a variety acclaimed by fanciers as the 
most outstanding new Camellia in years. There is more “yellow” in Camellia, 
Frank Gibson, than any other to date. In form, one row of large, pure paper-white 
outer petals, and a striking high center of mostly golden petaloids and short golden 
stamens. The flower is refreshingly different, and one of rare beauty and charm. 
Camellia, Frank Gibson is vigorous and compact in growth, and the foliage is 
unique—dark green and rather pointed. It blooms early, beginning here in No- 
vember, and is very hardy, having withstood the severe cold of the winter of 1950-51 
along with the. most resistant. The plant was raised as a seedling by Mrs. F. L. 
Gibson, Thomasville, Ga., and named in honor of her late husband, one of Thomas- 
ville’s leading businessmen, whose hobby was gardening and for whom the Camellia 
was always the favorite flower. 
We offer this new Camellia now for the first time, confident that it is outstanding 
and meritorious. A patent has been applied for, so propagation rights are reserved. 
18 to 24 in. grafts, compact, $40.00; 12 to 18 in. grafts on strong stocks, above the 
average in quality, $25.00 each.
