I2IEID CAMELLIAS 
LOT 16 
There is character and charm that retains fastidiousness 
and Oriental elegance in this informal variety of Camellia. 
For the sake of accuracy, we do not offer it under a hor¬ 
ticultural name. In fact, we have been unable to find an 
authority for the many names it is sold to the trade by va¬ 
rious nurseries. 
For example, it is frequently offered as CHRISTMAS 
GLORY, ORIENT ALA, ARAJISHI, HONNEUR de AMER- 
IQUE, ROSE EMERY, (sometimes spelled ROSE EMRY). 
We believe the last two names are corruptions of ROSE 
ANEMONE. 
Most likely ANEMONEOFLORA RUBRA was the name 
it was introduced to commerce, many years ago. It is easy 
to understand the reason a more simple name than the last 
one has been suggested. 
In spite of these aliases, it is a unique variety. Indivi¬ 
dual flowers vary in form and structure, alL of which are 
worthwhile. 
The color of flowers can be changed from deep crimson 
to rose pink, by simple adjustment of acidity or alkalinity 
of soil in which they are grown 
The parent plant, grown outdoors in a Southern garden, 
blooms freely from Christmas thru February, tolerating 
subfreezing weather with little injury to the flower buds. 
We offer small sizes, recently potted, bed grown slants, 
and larger size, pot grown for the past 8 years. 
12-16”—slightly branched—each .$1.50

Palisades Park, N. J., December 1st, 1936. 
You certainly treat your customers well. All my Camellias are in good 
condition. 
Houston, Tex., November 13, 1936. 
The Camellias arrived yesterday O. K., got here in perfect condition. 
I must admit that you did a beautiful job of packing, for the plants, 
when unpacked, looked like they just came out of your greenhouses.
