SPECIES CAMELLIAS 
RETICULATAS 
Large shrubs or small trees distinguished from the other Camellias by dull 
green instead of glossy foliage. The flowers resemble more a semi-double 
peony than the stiff and formal japonica type Camellias. 
CAPTAIN RAWES. Huge, semi-double rose-pink blooms with ruffled, irregu- 
lar petals, named after the Captain who introduced the first Reticulata into 
England in 1880. The new race of Reticulatas is the first to come to out of 
China since that time.

SANSANQUA CAMELLIAS 
A shrubby species with a more loose habit of growth, so much so in fact 
that it has been succesfully trained as a vine, espaliered, or even as a 
ground cover. This habit of growth which varies from upright to weeping 
and arching forms, has made it a preferred item for hedge growing. The 
flowers are dainty and usually smaller than the well-known japonica Ca- 
mellias, the leaves a polished dark green throughout the year. Will stand 
more sun, too. Landscaping with Camellias has made a great stride forward 
with the coming into popularity of these species. 
APPLE BLOSSOM. Pink and white single. 
HUGH EVANS. Single pink. 
SHOWA-NO-SAKAE. Semi-double medium pink. 
WHITE DOVES. Semi-double white. 
Landscaping with Camellias 
is really underway. No longer is the emphasis on their bloom- 
ing season only. Even when the magnificent flowers are 
gone, the Camellias are a stately, dignified shrub with a 
raiment of foliage that is beautiful to behold all the months 
of the year. The Species Camellias, which allow training for 
hedges, vines and ground covers, have come into their own 
and take their place proudly beside the potted and perma- 
nent shrubs. The illustrations here are intended to show 
what can be done with Camellias today. 
CAMELLIAS ARE EASY TO GROW in a partially shaded 
location, an acid soil with good drainage to which generous 
quantities of leaf mold or peat have been added. They re- 
quire generous amounts of water during the growing season 
but this should never become stagnant for lack of drainage. 
Withhold fertilizer during dormant season when the flowers 
appear. Hardy to 10 degrees. Ask for special camellia and 
azalea plant food.
