One of the finest shrubs for Florida gardens, CAMELLIA 
SASANQUAS require little special care, yet reward you 
handsomely. They are rapid growers and are much hardier 
than the Camellia japonica, and yet bloom much earlier and 
more profusely. 
CAMELLIA SASANQUAS are evergreen. The pleasing 
shape and habit of growth, along with the rich, luxurious, 
dark green foliage, makes them useful as either specimen or 
as part of the shrubbery border. Often they are used for 
flowering hedges, for tubbed specimen, and for espaliers 
along walls. 
THE CAMELLIA SASANQUAS are quite different; 
some varieties grow open branched and spreading, while 
others are upright and compact. The flowers also vary in 
color and formation, and you can choose a variety to fit 
your need. The flowers are from two to three inches across,
