FLORIDA NURSERY & 
RARE CAMELLIAS, Grafts 
Each season we add varieties to our collection of Camellias, 
and many of them are rare new ones. We have a fine stock of 
grafted Camellias in these newer sorts, which appeal to 
Camellia enthusiasts and collectors. 
There are advantages in purchasing a grafted Camellia. 
It grows much faster than one on its own roots, and it is 
possible to grow a well-shaped plant with a few flower buds 
on it by the second year. Some varieties are notoriously slow 
in growing, but by grafting them on a fast-growing variety 
like Sarah Frost it is possible to make them put on a normal 
amount of growth. The cleft graft which is used in the graft- 
ing of Camellias forms a union that is not likely to throw 
any suckers after the second year, so there is no danger of a 
Camellia reverting to its rootstock. 
In this book the symbol E indicates early-blooming va- 
rieties, M midseason, and L late. However, climatic and 
weather conditions cause some variation in time of blooming.
