GROUP B CAMELLIAS 
Mostly Grafted 
ALBA PLENA 
Alba Plena. The acme of perfection in double, 
imbricated whites. Pure white, wax-like. Very 
early flowering. Own-root, all sizes. 
Angel’s Blush. Loveliest of miniature Camellias. 
Very small, double; a chaste and beautiful light 
pink, having the appearance of a tiny Pink Per- 
fection. Grafted, all sizes. 
Aunt Jetty. A solid red form of Gov. Mouton. 
Incomplete double; large outer petals with petal- 
oids in center; very dark red. Exceptionally 
hardy, and always a favorite where known. Own- 
root, 18 to 24 in. to 2 to 3 ft. 
Bessie McArthur. Large; semi-double; deep pink 
to light red. Large foliage; compact growth. One 
of the most cold-resistant of all Camellias. 
Grafted, 12 to 15 in. 
C. M. Wilson. Sport of Elegans (Chandler), and 
exactly like its parent In every particular except 
color of the flower, which is a very lovely, clear 
light pink. New Camellias may come and go, 
but here is one that will stay. Grafted, all sizes. 
Own-root, 15 to 18 in. to 2 to 3 ft. 
Comte de Nesselrode. Large; semi-double with 
petals imtermixed; light pink, splotched and 
striped deep pink. Sometimes called a glorified 
Herme, but is superior in flower, foliage and 
growth. An old but very fine variety; name lost 
for years. Has created much interest at flower 
shows where it appeared under various local 
names. At Thomasville it is always attractive. 
Grafted, 8 to 12 in. to 18 to 24 in. 
Daikagura. Finest of the very early Camellias. 
At Thomasville it almost invariably commences 
blooming in September and continues through 
Christmas. Large; irregular double; deep pink. 
Always lovely, always satisfactory. All sizes, 
. . . Another truly outstanding early blooming camellia 
which the writer recently saw blooming at the Thomasville 
Nurseries—the beautiful Frank Gibson. Pictures of this 
flower do not do it justice, giving it the appearance of merely 
an interesting novelty. The flowers are very large. The 
center of this beautiful camellia resembles an especially fine 
chrysanthemum framed with huge, porcelain-white petals. 
The golden yellow center does not receive its color from 
stamens. Each of the clustered petaloids is edged with 
yellow!—Ivan J. Mitchell, Orlando, Fla., writing in Tropical 
Home ev Gardening.
