Blurb -
"Since Camellias were discovered in eastern Asia, and their stock transplanted to Europe and then Australia, their fragile beauty and subtle colours of the radiant blooms have never ceased to draw gasps of wonder.
Camellias were discovered in the Phillipines in 1639 by a Moravian Jesuit after whom they were named. During the ensuing centuries, the beauty of the flowers has been developed by successive generations of dedicated horticulturalists in many countries.
The author has drawn on his own experiences, both in England and Australia, to provide gardeners with all the information they need to grow camellias successfully. Not content to restrict himself to these plants alone, the author also discusses related bushes which thrive in similar conditions.
To complement the lucid and helpful text, the author has selected some of the finest photographs from his large collection of camellias. This book will be welcomed by all camellia fanciers as an idea handbook and a beautiful gift."
