20¢ Size CLEOPATRA 
CAMELLIA SASANQUAS 
ZONES I, II & III — SEE PICTURES ABOVE 
Camellia Sasanquas have greatly increased in popularity the last 
few years because they bloom much more profusely than Camellia 
Japonicas and also because they are easier to grow and stand 
more cold. 
Fortunately, we foresaw this increase in popularity and we now 
have a splendid supply of excellent plants which we can offer at 
a price previously unheard of. 
We have two sizes available; a 1 ft. size and a 2 ft. size. 
Our 1 ft. size is available in Cleopatra, which is a semi-double 
cherry red. 
Our 2 ft. size is available in mixed varieties only. 
for a blooming hedge that is a real eye catcher plant every 
2 feet. 
CAMELLIA JAPONICAS 
ZONES I & II 
Where they can be grown, the Camellia Japonica is generally con- 
sidered the most highly prized specie of camellia. Their blooms 
are much more satisfactory for cutting and corsages than the 
Camellia Sasanqua since they do not shatter easily as do the blooms 
of Camellia Sasanqua. Furthermore, as a group their blooms tend 
to be larger and more double. 
Branched plants over 15 inches high, 40¢. This is 20% lower than 
we have ever sold a branched Camellia Japonica before. 
PROFESSOR SARGENT Large full double, dark red, ball shaped. 
Hardy, fast growing. 
Full double, rose pink, flat bloom with a 
rosebud center. 
Flat, full double, light red. 
Full double, light pink, flat bloom. 
AVAIL 
For massed display of brilliant color the azalea is unexcelled by 
any other shrub. Azaleas are easy to grow if you are careful to 
select varieties hardy for your climate and if you plant them in 
acid soil. 
From February Ist until approximately March 15th, we will have 
on hand a good supply of the folfowing excellent varieties for 
Zones I and II. These plants are extra heavy for the price since 
they have been carried over from last season.

SNOW ON THE MOUNTAIN (Sasanqua) 
GARDENIAS 
ZONES I, II & parts of III 
We have a real hargain to offer on these. Branched plants 2 feet 
tall for only 50c each or 10 for $4.00. These are not the little dwarf 
gardenias often advertised by mail but are the large type (Gardenia 
Forfunei) highly prized by florists. As Gardenias go, they are 
quite hardy and can be grown in all of Zones I and I and parts of 
Zone III. These would make a lovely blooming hedge. 
CAMELLIA FLOWERED BEGONIAS 
ALL ZONES & POT PLANTS 
Probably the most exquisite Spring flowering bulb. No picture 
can do them justice. They are easy to grow if two important fac- 
tors are borne in mind. 
1. They should be started indoors before the danger of frost 
is past. The earlier you start them the better your results 
will be. 
2. They should be planted in a loose soil containing lots of 
leave mold or peat moss. 
We are offering one each of scarlet, crimson, yellow, orange, pink 
and copper (6 colors in all) for just $1.00. 
For just 25c, we will send you 1 gallon of peat moss which is 
sufficient to add to the soil of six 5 inch pots, which is the proper 
size pot for these bulbs. 
GIANT HYBRID AMARYLLIS 
GUARANTEED TO BLOOM WITHIN 90 DAYS 
With the least possible care you too can grow these immense lily- 
like flowers with their rich velvety texture. Vibrant colors include 
such favorites as crimson, scarlet, ruby, rose and orange, as well 
as the variegated types. Large, multiple blooms are supported by 
vigorous stems and are enhanced by attractive ribbon like foliage. 
In the deep south, these Giant Hybrids may be planted outside, 
where they flower and multiply well. 
Further north, Amaryllis should be grown in the house, in pots or 
window boxes and they will produce magnificent blossoms about 
6 or 8 weeks later. These bulbs may be kept from year to year, 
providing an ever-increasing number of gorgeous flowers. For a 
succession of blooms throughout the Spring, plant these bulbs 
ten days or two weeks apart. 
These are available in assorted colors only. 
ANEMONES and RANUNCULUS 
Highly priced by florists, these cheerful flowers are an interesting 
addition to any garden, Gay and colorful, they are a harbinger of 
Spring. Attractive in rock gardens, border plantings or beds for 
cutting. 
In Zone I Fall planting is best. Further north start in the very 
early Spring. It is helpful (but not necessary) to start indoors in 
flats and transplant. 
CALADIUMS 
Plant in the late Spring. These are not available yet but we will 
have an unusually good price on these when they are available 
later.
