irregular double (peony form); deep pink with 
white marbling. Small, compact-growing bush 
with foliage similar to Donckelari. Long popular 
in the Thomasville area. Own-root, all sizes. 
Lallarook (Il Tramonto; Laurel Leaf). Largest 
of all double, imbricated Camellias. Clear, satiny 
pink, marbled and spotted white; sometimes solid 
pink flowers appear on the same bush. Occasional 
flowers are tiered, like Candidissima in form. 
Upright growth; long, pointed, glossy leaves. A 
great favorite. Own-root, 18 to 24 in. to 2 to 3 ft. 
Lindsay Neill. A fine Camellia from Columbus, 
and one of the most sought-after of rare varieties. 
Large; semi-double; dark red, splotched white, 
with an occasional solid red flower. Grafted, 
8 to 12 in. to 18 to 24 in. 
Magnolizflora. Medium size; single; delicate, 
light pink. Well named. One of the loveliest of 
Camellias; should be in every collection. Very 
hardy for a light-colored variety. Grafted, 8 to 
12 in. to 18 to 24 in. Own-root, 15 to 18 in. to 
18 to 24 in. 
Martha Brice. Large; semi- double; light lavender- 
pink, a color not found in other Camellias. Com- 
pact growth; very large, light green foliage. A 
very lovely Camellia from Quitman, Ga. Own- 
root, all sizes. 
Mathotiana Rubra. The finest of all double, 
dark red Camellias. Huge flowers; complete 
double, incomplete imbricated. Late in season the 
flowers usually show few short, golden stamens in 
center. Foliage is large; bush compact and uni- 
form in growth. A ‘“‘must” in every Camellia 
collection. It is impossible to have too many 
Mathotianas aslong as one hasroom to grow them. 
Own-root, all sizes. 
Mathotiana, Variegated. Sport of the above, 
formerly incorrectly called C. M. Hovey. Has 
every one of its parent’s excellent qualities and

all sizes.
