THE FAMOUS KUNMING RETICULATAS 
A first time introduction for’us is this group of Camellias 
known as the Yunnan or Kunming Reticulatas. The plants 
are entirely new in character and beauty from the Japonicas 
with which we are familiar. 
They were imported after La vecasie restrictions had been 
removed, gaining entrance to the United States during the 
years 1948-1950, and are now ready in limited quantities for 
your garden interest. 
They will respond to the same general care as the Japonicas 
and will surprise you with their gorgeous five to seven inch 
flowers in varying shades of lavender pink and crimson, in 
wide petaled and artistic arrangement.
