VERSCHAFFELT CAMELLIAS
 

'THIS WORK IS ONE OF THE RAREST AND GREATEST
OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY CAMELLIA ICONOGRAPHIES.
THE VERSCHAFFELTS WERE A FAMILY OF NURSERYMEN
SPECIALIZING IN CAMELLIAS AND PUBLISHED THIS BOOK
REALLY AS A CATALOGUE OF NEWLY INTRODUCED SPECIES
AND RECENTLY DEVELOPED HYBRIDS WHICH WERE AVAILABLE
FROM THEIR NURSERIES.'
