Camellia Sasanqua 
Beni Kantsubaki (Shishi Gashira) 
Irregular double, crimson flowers of good size, 
have more substance and lasting quality than most 
other Sasanquas. Growth and leaf characteristics are 
more like C. Japonica. This variety blooms late for 
Sasanquas, starting in November. A great new ad- 
dition to colder belt of Camellia section, where C. 
Japonicas are not very dependable. Worthy of ex- 
tensive planting. 
Choji-Guruma 
Numerous tiny incurved petaloids are surrounded 
by light pink guard petals, forming pompon. New 
growth is almost blackish brown. 
Cleopatra 
Semi-double rose-pink, peony type. Very compact 
grower. Extremely popular variety. 
Dawn 
Semi-double, wavy petals with flesh pink margin. 
Very hardy. 
Day Dream 
Quite large size single to semi-double white flow- 
ers with pink edges. The most outstanding merits of 
this variety are its foliage, growth habit and general 
shape. Leaves are large, thick and dark green. Very 
fast and strong upright grower, but form compact 
pyramidal shape, similar to upright Wax Privet 
(Ligustrum lucidum pyramidalis). An ideal plant for 
corner planting, or when variations are needed for 
back-ground planting. 
Hino de Gumo 
Large semi-double blush with deeper pink on 
edges. Beautiful form and shade and excellent grower. 
Hiodoshi 
Good size nine-petaled flowers are boldly varie- 
gated with white blotches on crimson and_ very 
showy. Slow, compact grower. 
Hiryu (Variegata) 
Crinkled and wavy petals are wine-red with 
white, and semi-double. 
Little Gem 
Dainty, semi-double blush flowers are small and 
the name is perfect in describing this charming flower. 
Slow grower.
