Camellia Sasanqua 
These valuable shrubs flower from September 
to December. Some are open branched and spread- 
ing, and others are upright. The attractive 2 to 3- 
inch, fragrant blooms vary in color and formation. 
This shrub is faster growing than C. japonica and 
may be espaliered on a wall or used as a specimen, 
border or hedge plant. The leaves are glossy, 
deep green and smaller than those of C. japonica. 
Culture, in general, is the same but the Sasanquas 
seem to withstand adverse conditions of soil, ex- 
posure and drainage better. Most varieties are 
more cold-hardy, and these can be used farther 
north than C. japonica. 
APPLE BLOSSOM. Single, palest pink with 
deeper shading. 
CLEOPATRA. Semi-double, rose-pink. Compact 
grower. 
MINO-NO-YUKI. Profuse bloomer. Double white 
flowers, showing yellow stamens when fully 
opened. An open grower, ideal for training 
on a wall but makes a handsome specimen 
shrub with age. 
ROSEA. One of the most profuse and showy 
bloomers of the group. Brightest pink, single 
flowers. 
We are now propagating several 
handsome new varieties of Sasanqua 
Camellias which we will have in limited 
quantities in small sizes.
