Lovely THOMASVILLE CAMELLIAS 
Beatrix Hoyt (Listed last season as Ecstasy). A de- 
lightful new Camellia, raised as a seedling by 
Miss Beatrix Hoyt of Thomasville, who has also 
given us the Bryan Wright. Very beautiful, light 
rose-pink, with one compact ring of long golden 
stamens in center. Begins blooming very early 
and continues over a long season; the flowers last 
a long time on the bush before dropping. Upright 
in growth; foliage medium in size. AIlI plants are 
select, well-shaped, field-grown, grafted specimens. 
2-yr. grafts, 18 to 24 in., $15.00; 12 to 18 in., 
$12.00; 8 to 12 in., $8.00; 1-yr. grafts, $6.00. 
Betty Sheffield. One of the most charming of 
Camellias introduced in recent years. Raised asa 
seedling by Mrs. A. B. Sheffield, long chairman of 
the Park & Tree Commission of Quitman, Ga., 
and active in garden club affairs, and named in 
her honor. Large, very regular, semi-double, pure 
paper-white with few red and pink splotches or 
stripes. The flower is of exquisite form, with 
petals slightly waved; golden stamens are mostly 
in center, but some are imterspersed in petals. 
The bush is a strong, vigorous grower, and the 
foliage 1s large and dark green. Betty Sheffield is 
superior to many other Camellias of its type. It 
has become a great favorite with those who have 
it, and many consider it the finest of our intro- 
ductions. All our plants of this variety are com- 
pact, shapely, field-grown specimens, way above 
the average in quality of Camellias generally 
offered. Available in grafted plants, all sizes of 
Group A, at prices shown on page 27. 
Bryan Wright. The popularity of this Camellia 
grows. ‘Those who have it are delighted with 
it, and the large specimen plants in bloom in 
our Woodland were greatly admired by visitors 
last winter. Bryan Wright is a lovely, very light 
pink Camellia, in color half way between Lady 
Hume’s Blush and Pink Perfection. It is a fairly 
early bloomer, and the first flowers are often 
formal; later they are almost double peony form, 
and at the end of the season they open and show 
a few very golden stamens interspersed in the 
petals. At all stages the flowers are lovely. Se- 
lect, well-shaped, grafted, field-grown plants in all 
sizes of Group A, at prices shown on page 27. 
Fragrance. A distinctly fragrant new Camellia 
japonica from Moultrie, originated as a seedling 
by Mrs. H. Curtis Murphy. Flowers are of 
medium size, complete double, showing a few 
short stamens. The color is deep pink to light red. 
Foliage is fairly large, medium green. Those who 
saw this Camellia in bloom here and at Moultrie 
the past several seasons could hardly believe a 
double-flowering variety could possess such dis- 
tinct odor. Of the many, many Camellias we 
have tested and seen In other gardens, it has the 
most fragrance. Compact, field-grown specimens, 
on 5 to 8-year stocks. 2-yr. grafts, 12 to 18 in., 
$12.00; 8 to 12 in., $8.00; 1-yr. grafts, $6.00. 
Pearl Maxwell. Here is a very lovely new regu- 
larly imbricated (formal double) Camellia that 
we believe has come to stay a long, long time. It 
supplies the need for a large formal flower of light 
pink color; many blooms of it measured 5% inches 
across. It has none of the defects of streaking or 
folding back like Otome and several others. 
While not as heavy as the Mathotianas, It is not 
far behind in size, and for exquisite, soft color it is 
quite superior to other varieties of its form. 
Pearl Maxwell is a seedling of the vigorous Enrico 
Bettoni and like the parent is a vigorous grower 
and late bloomer, fine for extending the flowering 
season. This outstanding Camellia was raised 
from a seed by Mrs. C. O. Maxwell, Cairo, Ga. 
and named in her honor. Several years ago she 
showed blooms at the Cairo and Thomasville 
Camellia shows which were greatly admired, and 
led us to seek propagating rights. Available in 
compact, top-quality, freld-grown, grafted plants, 
all stzes of Group A, at prices shown on page 27. 
Selma Shelander. An exceptionally large, semi- 
double white Camellia, owned by Mrs. A. N. 
Shelander, Brunswick, Ga., on which we have 
propagation rights. Offered this season for the 
first time. Much like Lotus in size and form, but 
the bush is much more resistant to cold. Dis- 
tinctive long, pointed foliage makes It an attractive 
bush. AIl plants we offer are field grown, grafted 
on stock 6 to 8 years old. 2-yr. grafts, $15.00; 
1-yr. grafts, $7.50. 
In Camellias this season we are offering only sturdy, field-grown plants, the quality of which is 
far superior to the usual run of shade-grown or canned plants in general circulation. People usually 
get what they pay for. We invite everyone who possibly can do so to come to the nursery and see 
the fine quality of our Camellias.
