CAMELLIA CUTTINGS AND SCIONS 
PRICE LIST AND ORDER FORM 
325 SELECTED VARIETIES 
Here are new low prices of Camellia Cuttings and Scions, ranging from 144¢ to 24¢ each. We will continue 
to lower the price of cuttings of higher bracket varieties as we develop sufficient stock of a variety to enable 
us to do so. It takes several years to build up any appreciable number of cuttings of a variety. You will notice 
that we have lowered the bracket (or group or class) of many varieties this year. You will also note that we 
have added a number of new varieties to the list. Use this convenient form for making out your order. Keep a 
copy of your order for your record. We will send you two more order forms for future use when we ship your 
cuttings. All Camellia Cuttings are shipped packed in damp spagnum moss in corrugated cartons, which insures 
safe arrival. All prices are net, terms are cash with order, and we pay all the packing and transportation costs 
to you on all orders for $10.00 or more. On orders for less than $10.00, seventy-five cents is added to cover part 
of the packing and transportation costs. For those customers who want to order just a few cuttings of a variety 
we have made it possible for them to do so at these low prices by adding a small VARIETY SERVICE CHARGE 
to cover part of the extra cost of rendering them this service. The INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING on page 
4 explain how this is done. Please re-read the INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING just before filling out your 
order. We thank you for the opportunity of again serving you. 
In reply to the question frequently asked us as to when to put in Camellia Cuttings, we advise that they should be put in after each of 
the three growths is sufficiently mature, and before new growth has started again. We put in Camellia Cuttings to root, from the latter 
part of May to the early part of the following March. From June to the following February is perhaps the safest period for putting in 
Camellia Cuttings. Each year presents a separate problem as to time to start and stop. How much before the 4th of July the first growth 
cuttings of any specified variety can be put in depends upon how early the spring is, and how soon the first growth matures. How late 
after the first of February the last (third) growth cuttings can be put in depends upon how long the cool winter weather holds on and 
delays the swelling of the buds. The buds of some varieties of course do not start to swell as soon as some of the others. By the latter 
part of the summer, and in the fall, there is much overlapping, when the cuttings from the current growth of one variety are ready but 
the cuttings may not be ready on another variety. Many people do not yet know that it is just as satisfactory to root cuttings from 
August to February from the second and third growths, as it is to root cuttings from the first growth, in June and July. 
We sell only those cuttings which are in a state of maturity that we consider right for use in our own propagating beds. We will elimi- 
nate from your order the cuttings of the varieties which we consider are not in shape to cut at the time your order is received, and 
request that you indicate on the ORDER FORM on the back page whether you wish us to ship them later when available, or if 
you wish substitutions to be made (and if so what substitutions), or if you wish a refund for the varieties not currently available. 
We can not only supply you with Camellia Cuttings, but also with Rooted Camellia Cuttings, Camellia Liners, Lath Grown Camellias, 
and big Field Grown Camellias from three to ten feet tall, of which we have over 100 varieties from 10 to 25 years old. We can supply 
you with Azaleas, and Shrubs in general. Please write us what you would like to have. It will be a pleasure to serve you. 
All claims must be made upon receipt of the cuttings. The terms and conditions of sale are the same as contained in our current price list.
