The Cametha Sasangqua 
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 oblitera- 
ting 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 gar- 
deners, constantly in search of something new and better 
for the garden, have to be literally “clubbed” into an 
acquaintance with the Sasanqua. Now it develops, the 
skeleton in the closet is named “‘Camellia”’!! 
Because these Sasanqua flowers are not of gigantic 
proportion, nor stiffly and primly formal, nor of suffici- 
ently 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 Ja- 
ponica (the commonly known camellia). To mention a 
few:—it is generally lightly and rather elusively fra- 
grant; 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!
