Jhe Camellia Sasanqua 
It would seem that here is a species of plant whose relatives are so supremely proud, jealous and domineering that 
they have nearly succeeded in completely obliterating from the garden scene this priceless gem. If the Sasanqua 
camellias were known by the name “Sasanqua” alone, they could have long ago attained the heights of popularity 
they so richly deserve. It is more than just passing strange that so many otherwise discerning gardeners, constantly in 
search of something new and better for the garden, have to be literally ‘“tclubbed” into an acquaintance with the 
Sasanqua. Now it develops, the skeleton in the closet is named ‘tCamellia”’!! 
Because these Sasanqua flowers are not of gigantic proportion, nor stiffly and primly formal, nor of sufficiently 
gross construction to be useful as a corsage subject and in other ways bear but the slightest resemblance to a “camellia”, 
they have been scorned as a poor relative. The sasanqua truly does not need to lean on the name “camellia”. It is, in 
many ways, far superior to the Japonica (the commonly known camellia). To mention a few:— it is generally lightly 
and rather elusively fragrant; it is much hardier; blooms more heavily at a younger age and at an earlier time of the 
year than the Japonica. It may be used in many ways the Japonica may not. It will charmingly adapt itself to uses 
really unique among flowering evergreen shrubs. It will stand a great deal of sun, of cold, of pruning and of neglect! 
This is not a sales talk, it is a simple and honest endeavor to acquaint you with one of the finest and most useful 
shrubs we have ever known. Don’t keep dodging the Sasanqua—you’re bound to turn to them someday, but just try a 
few of them in your garden this season. We are sure you will become as enamored of them as we are!
