BLACKWELL NURSERIES, INC. 
Camellia Japonica 
Despite the fact we have had a shortage of blooms the past few years, 
Camellias are still very popular and are being planted in great numbers. We 
are finding they are hardier than most people think and at today’s prices 
they are in reach of all home owners. 
There is and always will be quite a lot of argument in regard to Camellia 
names. We are listing each variety by the accepted name used by the ma- 
jority of growers. No doubt some of these will be changed in the years to 
come as some are being changed now, and when this happens we will always 
list each variety by as many names as we know it to be sold under. This 
will prevent you from duplicating varieties. 
We are trying to grow all of the better varieties, and not trying to intro- 
duce a lot of new seedlings that are good only for understock. We hope to 
increase our list of varieties as long as we can find new ones to buy that we 
believe are worth growing. We use several thousand plants each year for 
understock and we also use many Camellia Sasanqua for understock and 
find it sometimes works better than Camellia Japonica. 
We are listing our Camellias in groups for convenience in pricing. The 
scarcity, demand, and quality of the blooms determine the group they are 
listed in.
