POPE PIUS IX, LOT 26 
The original parent plant was imported from France, under 
this name, some 40 odd years ago. 
A full double, with imbricated petals diminishing in size to the 
center, of excellent form, ranging from V/2 to 4 inches in diameter. 
In a distinctly acid soil the flowers are cardinal red. They are 
lighter color when grown in slightly acid or neutral soils. 
Blooms freely December to March; a worth while addition to 
every Camellia collection.

$2o.00 for my POPE PIUS IX (Lot 26) Camellia. This is the 
plant you sold me for $4.40 in the spring of 1931. Looks like 
the value of this Camellia increased 5V 2 times and that my 
camellia investment was the only thing to turn out “depression
