CAMELLIA SASANQUAS 
As camellias go, this specie is very hardy. Reports as to just how hardy 
aie ee but it is our opinion that they may be grown in Zones I, II 
an : 
Sasanquas are not suitable for corsage work or cutting. They are hardier 
and freer blooming than the Camellia Japonicas and we recommend them for 
landscape use. 
Sasanquas make an excellent informal hedge. They may be cut back in 
the spring but they should not be kept clipped since this will interfere with 
their bloom. For use as a hedge in Zone 1 and II we recommend Cleopatra 
or Snow on the Mountain since they are the most compact. In Zone III Rosea 
would be preferable since it is somewhat hardier. These are bed grown Sasan- 
quas which were about 3 feet tall, but which were cut back to about 18”. The 
have branched nicely and are now over 18”. |

CAMELLIA JAPONICAS

the most desirable specie of camellia. The blooms are very satisfactory for 
cutting and corsages. 
All the Camellia Japonicas listed below are 12” to 18” tall. We have found. 
from experience that this size transplants best and in the long run is your best 
buy.
