CAMELLIA SASANQUA 
The hardy Sasanqua species of Camellia is now avail- 
able in a number of different colors and forms, and is 
especially recommended for areas where it might be too 
cold for Japonicas. The group as a whole is vigorous in 
growth, and has smaller leaves and smaller blooms than 
the Japonicas, though they bloom more profusely. Ap- 
pearing in October, November, and December, the blooms 
come at a time when they are not apt to be hurt by 
freezing weather. Sasanquas are very desirable for land- 
scape purposes, and the flowers make wonderful garden 
displays and are useful for indoor arrangement in vases 
since they are borne on long stems. 
BRILLIANCY (E). Light Rose Pink single. Compact, up- 
right growth. 
BUTTERFLY (WHITE BUTTERFLY). (Very E.). White 
single with Pink margin. Vigorous, upright growth. 
CLEOPATRA. (E). Rose Pink semi-double to peony. Com- 
pact, upright growth. 
COVINGTON (MISS AUBURN, OLEIFERA). (EE). A 
sport of MclIlhenny’s “Oleifera” variety of Sasanqua,
