SASANQUA CAMELLIAS 
Many people prefer Sasanqua Camellias for 
landscape work because this type is generally 
believed to be more quickly and easily grown. 
These plants make good evergreen shrubs and 
we highly recommend them, but as a matter 
of fact various Japonicas such as Gloire de 
Nantes, Jarvis Red, T. K. Variegated, and 
Harlequin are also good strong growers fine 
for general landscaping. 
Remember that Camellias of all kinds need 
a well-drained, slightly acid soil rich in humus. 
Half shade is the best location, for flowers do 
not last long in the hot sun and plants do not 
bloom in dense shade. 
CLEOPATRA. Semi-double; rose-pink. Very 
dense, compact plant with leaves like box- 
wood. 
DAWN. The finest Sasanqua we know. Semi- 
double in form; white with blush-pink. 
MINE-NO-YUKI. Double; pure white with 
golden stamens. A very early bloomer.
