CAMELLIA PLANT Filed Sept. 1. 1967 IN VE N 7' 0R.
JAMES HOWARD ASPE Fr United States Patent O 2,873 CAMELLIA PLANT James Howard Asper, Escondido, Califi, assignor to Monrovia Nursery Company, Azusa, Calif., a corporation of California Filed Sept. 1, 1967, Ser. No. 665,188 Int. Cl. Atllh 5/02 US. Cl. Plt.61 1 Claim AESTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A new camellia hybrid producing large flowers of a warm medium-pink color and having large, curled and loosely arranged petals; and characterized further by its vigorous growth habit and the early, profuse and continuous production of blooms in season.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This new variety of camellia plant was discovered by me in 1960 in the course of a breeding program carried on by me at Escondido, Calif. since 1957 with the object of producing a more hardy camellia plant combining the plant vigor and blooming habit of C. sasanqua with the large flower and beauty of C. reticulum. The new plant originated as a seedling of C. sasanqua Narumigata (unpatented), as the seed parent, and C. reticulum Buddha (Plant Pat. 1,212) and was selected by me because of its close approach to my breeding objectives. This plant was asexually propagated by me at Escondido, Calif., by grafting and cuttings, and successive generations have shown its unusual and novel characteristics to be firmly fixed and to hold true from generation to generation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING This new variety of camellia plant is shown in the accompanying photographic drawing, in substantially natural color, in which a fully opened bloom appears, in face view, and a bud and foliage are also shown.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The following is a detailed description of my new hybrid camellia plant, the color designation for the bud and bloom being according to the Horticultural Colour Chart of the British Colour Council.
The Plant Origin: Seedling. Parentage:
Seed parent-C. sasanqua Narumigata (unpatented). Pollen parentC. reticulaza Buddha (Plant Pat.
