Sasanqua Camellia 
AUTUMN AND EARLY WINTER FLOWERING VARIETIES 
Here we have a beautiful shrub which is rapidly taking its place 
in the garden. A Sasanqua plant in full bloom is breath taking 
and particularly so because it flowers when there is nothing else 
to give color. To come upon a lovely evergreen graceful shrub 
covered with hundreds of blossoms in late October, November or 
December is surely getting a thrill. And to be able to cut the 
flowers with nice stems and have them in the house where they 
last for days on end is also no mean treat. The individual flowers 
are charming and very varied in form and shape; some are single, 
some semi-double. Formal as well as informal in form, they provide 
one with endless interest and a wide range of color. The informali- 
ty of the plant makes it an A-1 subject for use in the foundation 
plantings of the small modern houses. It charmingly adapts itself 
This message is not a sales talk or promotion. It is a simple 
and honest endeavor to acquaint you with one of the finest shrubs 
which (to the disgrace of nurserymen) you should have been 
growing for the past twenty-five years. We are sure you will be- 
come as enamored with them as we are.

Wonderful drifts of dainty white blossoms. Each 
petal lightly edged with pink, a strong upright 
flower. Flowers single, 3 in. in diameter. 
Choji-Guruma Each $3.25 
A striking variety. The soft pink flowers have 
an Anemone-like center. The new leaves are 
striking fed to purplish-red throughout the 
summer, making an interesting display of color 
when the blossoms are not on the plant.

One of the best, semi-double, Peony-type.

shiny, green leaves.

ing effect. An excellent variety blooming in 
late October.

branches, leaves are large, dark green. A 
bold handsome shrub at all times. 
Papaver Each $3.25 
Large, lovely single flower of soft pink. 
The numerous blossoms are cup-shaped, open 
like Poppies. It grows into a nicely shaped 
shrub which is handsome when not in bloom.

surrounded by showy yellow stamens. 
Setsugekka Each $3.25 
Large single white ruffled petals, flushed 
pinkish lavender in an unusual number. This is 
a fast growing kind as well as very free flower- 
ing. 
The varieties offered above are fine established 
plants in 4 in. or 5-in. pots and about 18 inches 
tall. They will bloom first year after planting. 
Shipping and planting can be done at any time 
of the year. Sasanquas are hardier than the Ca- 
mellia Japonicas, grow faster and are more 
graceful and with reasonable protection they can 
be grown much farther North.

in the border with other shrubs. In fact, there is nothing like the 
Sasanqua. 
For hardiness, they are far superior to the common Camellia 
Japonica. With little protection they winter over in such favored 
locations as Long Island, Cape Cod, Cape Charles, Nantucket and 
Martha’s Vineyard. We have seen plants do beautifully in Wash- 
ington. 
Grown in pots or small tubs and placed outside during the 
summer they make an interesting subject which, when really cold 
weather approaches, may be brought inside in a cool room where 
they will flower for weeks on end. For a cool sunroom or con- 
servatory they are superb. But remember, Sasanquas do not like 
heat in the winter. 
For the present we offer nine varieties. All are of easy culture 
and vigorous growing kinds. We will send you nice, well grown 
plants in tar paper pots. Plants so grown can be transplanted at 
any time during the year without any loss. They will be about 18 
inches tall or more and are 3 to 4 years old and will start bloom- 
ing first year after planting.
