CAMELLIA JAPONICA “Bessie Morse Bellingrath” 
Camellia japonica ‘BESSIE MORSE BELLINGRATH” was 
named for a beautiful, lovable lady who, as co-founder of 
the world famed Bellingrath Gardens near Mobile, Alabama, 
contributed immensely to the development of the love for 
beautiful flowers among people. 
This Camellia variety was imported from Japan by Semmes 
Nursery near Mobile, Alabama, in 1939 and was first sold by 
them in 1942 under the American name “Bessie Morse Bellin- 
grath.” Its Japanese name was ‘Toki-No-Hagasane,” which

was translated by the original importers as the “Crested Ibis,” 
of folded feathers. 
It is very fitting that such a delicate, beautiful Camellia 
be named to honor Mrs. Bellingrath for she and Mr. Bellin- 
grath gathered together and planted in their gardens one of 
the finest and largest collections of Camellias in the world, 
along with the thousands of Azaleas and other flowering 
plants, making it a floral heaven at any season one visits the 
gardens. 
Mr. Bellingrath has made an exquisite 20-minute 16m/m sound color film of Bel- 
lingrath Gardens which is available to groups or clubs FREE. Write Bellingrath 
Gardens, Mobile, Alabama, a month or more in advance of show date. 
Over 150,000 people visit the world-famed, beautiful Bellingrath Gardens each 
year. Plan to visit “The Charm Spot of the Deep South” soon.
