Camellia Japonica 
HESE beautiful aristocrats of Southern gardens are each year gaining more in popu- 
larity than any other shrub known. The various Camellia shows that are being held 
each season all over the country bear evidence of this, and part of the credit for the popu- 
larity of the Camellia is due to these shows. 
There is and always will be quite a lot of argument in regard to Camellia names. We 
are listing each variety by the accepted name used by the majority of growers. No doubt 
some of these will be changed in the years to come as some are being changed now, and 
when this happens we will always list each variety by as many names as we know it to be 
sold under. This will prevent you from duplicating varieties. 
We are trying to grow all of the better varieties, and not trying to introduce a lot of 
new seedlings that are good only for understock. We hope to increase our list of varie- 
ties as long as we can find new ones to buy that we believe are worth growing. We use 
several thousand plants each year for understock and we also sell plants for understock, so 
we use the poorer flowering sorts for this purpose. We also use many Camellia Sasanqua 
for understock and find it sometimes works better than Camellia Japonica. 
This year we cannot recommend too highly our lining-out grade. These plants are 
about the finest we have ever grown and we feel that you should get them as early as 
possible. 
Although we plant this size direct to the field and in open beds under our sprinkler 
system, it might pay you to grow them in partial shade similar to lathhouse for one year. 
All of our Camellias are transplanted many times and have a wonderful root system. 
We are sure you will find none better anywhere, and once you use some of our plants you 
will like theny. We know you can please your customers with them. 
We are listing our Camellias in groups for convenience in pricing. The scarcity, de- 
mand, and quality of the blooms determine the group they are listed in. We are not in 
position to offer liners in all groups, but will as soon as our stock will permit.
