CAMELLIA SASANQUA, CLEOPATRA 
CAMELLIA SASANQUA 
One of the newer and finest of all the broad-leaved 
evergreens. Similar to Camellia japonica, but looser and 
faster growing. Very profuse bloomers, the flowers com- 
mencing to open the latter part of September and con- 
tmuing on through November—a time when very few 
flowers can be had. 
Sasanquas are very hardy and can be grown without 
protection in the latitude of Memphis, Tenn., Birming- 
ham, Ala., Atlanta, Ga., Charlotte, N. C., and even 
much farther north along the Atlantic seaboard. They 
are extremely satisfactory in landscape work, as individual 
specimens, in foundation plantings, and for hedges, and 
their popularity is only just beginning. 
ANNETTE (No. 5 Variegated). A two-toned variety, 
similar to Cinderella but more dense in growth and the 
flowers are a much deeper shade of pink. 
CINDERELLA (No. 2 Variegated). Rather dense, rapid 
grower of pyramidal habit, with handsome, single, two- 
toned flowers which are white in center and shade to 
pink at the ends of the petals. Very early. 
CLEOPATRA. Large, beautiful cherry-red flowers, often 
double, and having crinkled petals. Foliage thick, dark 
and glossy. A vigorous and compact grower. 
DAWN (Akebono). Flowers large, single to semi- 
double, ivory-white changing to flesh-pink at the 
margin of the petals. Extremely hardy and blooms 
continue long after other Sasanquas are over. A 
fine addition to our list.
