- the present discovery relates to a new and distinct variety of pink camellia y'aponica and is the result of definite breeding efforts carried on since 1925.
- the purpose of the hybridization was to produce a very double, light pink camellia whose buds would not drop off (this being a common occurrence with the double varieties), and which would be superior to other varieties for outdoor growing. It is a seedling of Nobillissima, the pollen parent being unknown.
- This new variety is exceptionally vigorous in its growth and freely produces large flowers borne mostly singly on long and slender stems.
- the color of the open camellia is a delicate or faint shade of pink.
- the flower is of rose form, full, double and imbricateol.
- the tree which is about fifteen years old is now 7 feet in height and 4 feet in width.
- the lasting quality of these blossoms is exceptionally good; as a cut flower at least a week, and on the plant from ten days to two weeks.
- the resistance of this new variety to heat and cold is quite remarkable. It has withstood freezing weather and summer heat.

CAMELLIA PLANT Kosaku Sawada, Crichton, Ala., assignor to Overlook Nurseries, Crichton, Ala., a partnership composed of said Sawada and S. Imura Application March 17, 1941, Serial No. 383,758
1 Claim.
The present discovery relates to a new and distinct variety of pink camellia y'aponica and is the result of definite breeding efforts carried on since 1925. The purpose of the hybridization was to produce a very double, light pink camellia whose buds would not drop off (this being a common occurrence with the double varieties), and which would be superior to other varieties for outdoor growing. It is a seedling of Nobillissima, the pollen parent being unknown.
This new variety is exceptionally vigorous in its growth and freely produces large flowers borne mostly singly on long and slender stems. The color of the open camellia is a delicate or faint shade of pink. The flower is of rose form, full, double and imbricateol. The tree which is about fifteen years old is now 7 feet in height and 4 feet in width. The lasting quality of these blossoms is exceptionally good; as a cut flower at least a week, and on the plant from ten days to two weeks. The resistance of this new variety to heat and cold is quite remarkable. It has withstood freezing weather and summer heat.
The plant has been asexually reproduced for several generations by cutting and grafting and all the improved characters of this new variety have been thoroughly established and remain true.
The original illustrations accompanying this application show in approximately true colors three specimens of this new variety in various stages of opening.
Following is a detailed description of this variety:
Blossom Size: 33 inches in diameter-sometimes reaches 4 inches.
Form: Rose form, full, double, imbricated.
Borne: Mostly singly.
Stems: Long and slender.
Petalage: 70 to 100, large petals, measure 1 inches to 1% inches long; 1%, inches in width.
Colo-r: Delicate shade of pink.
Texture: Very fine.
Not affected by either wet or hot weather.
Blooms January to February.
Appearance: Somewhat like gardenia flowers.
Bud
Size: inch long, inch wide (in proportion). Form: Round to oblong.
Sepals: 5, orbicular.
No genital organs.
Lasting quality, on plant: 10 days to 2 weeks;
as cut flower: at least a week.

Flower:
Body of flower (outer 1 A l 1petals B ending with 1 B 1 Center section 1 A 2 Deep center 1 B 8 Under side of blossoms 3 C 2 Bud 10 E l Peach Blossom l C 2 Bister Green 13 L 5 A1amo+ 14 A 12 24 E 10 Pin Art Gr 22 L 7 Under side of leaf Oourge Green 21 L 3 Stem Olive Wood 15 E 10 By careful comparison, when grown under comparable conditions, this new variety most nearly resemble the well-known Lady Humes Blush, there appearing to be slight difference in the shape of the flower, the size, color, time of blooming, keeping quality and size of foliage.
However, there are several important differences which indicate the distinctions of the pres- I cut variety; namely: number of petals of the This camellia is propagated very easily Humes Blush is hard to propagate, especially by cutting. This camellia has exceptional resistant power against cold and. heat, has withstood the freeze of winter and the heat of summer. The Lady Humes Blush has poor resistance; it freezes easily and gets sun-burned blooming. It is much superior to any other camellia for out flower purposes.
Having thus disclosed my invention, I claim.
A new and distinct variety of camellia plant, substantially as shown and described, characterized particularly by its vigorous upright, compact, fast growth; long stems; fine foliage; resistance to disease and weather conditions; fine quality for outdoor blooming; ease of propagation; superior keeping qualities; the delicate pink color and finer texture of the flowers; and its superiority over other varieties of oamellias for out flower purposes.
