Camellia lovers who seek stimulating glamor . . . brilliancy 
in color . . . magnificent beauty in size and form of flowers 
BLOOD OF CHINA dynamically interprets its symbolic name . . 
and deserves the place of honor in your garden, because of its 
vibrant beauty. 
Like a Ruby, animated with reflected fire . . . this Camellia 
scintillates with brilliancy and regal beauty which distinguishes 
it as an extraordinary fine variety. 
Higher in price, perhaps—but worth the difference, like a 
superb antique, it will remain your most treasured garden heirloom 
. . . more to be desired than money or its accumulation. 
Each winter season will bring an ever increasing crop of 
breath-taking beautiful flowers, the envy of all who are privileged 
to see it. 
In selling Camellias, it has always been our policy to cite an 
authority for correct names, if known, along with the history of 
their introduction. In the case of this fascinating example, of the 
most sought for garden and conservatory plant, we are not 
privileged to name it . . . according to ethics of horticultural 
procedure. But, since after diligent search, the true name was not 
found, we are giving it a temporary name. 
WE FEEL, THE MOST APPROPRIATE NAME, ONE 
SYMBOLIC OF THE WANTON WASTE OF 
INNOCENT BLOOD, OF CHINESE WOMEN AND 
CHILDREN, BY THE RUTHLESS INVASION OF 
THE JAPANESE MILITARY MACHINE, RAMPANT 
IN THE FAR EAST, SUGGESTS A MOST TIMELY 
NAME OF 
CAMEWA 
6C000 OF CaiMft 
The large vivid salmon-red flowers of BLOOD OF CHINA, 
portrays the spilled blood of countless non-combatants . . . savagelj’^ 
murdered by arrogant, Imperial Japanese forces ... in their 
unlawful invasion of China. 
Because of its brilliant, fiery-red color, no other Camellia in 
commerce reflects a more appropriate and emblematic name. 
Until BLOOD OF CHINA is correctly identified, we propose 
to market the few plants available, under this symbolic horticultural 
name. 
We have no quarrel or hate for the Japanese people, any more 
than we love the peace loving Chinese. The recent outrages and 
atrocities wrought by the callous brutality of Japan’s dictatorial 
military power, among innocent Chinese people is a war of 
Imperialism, in which the Japanese people have no voice. 
$900.00 was paid for seven remaining BLOOD OF CHINA 
Camellias, March, 1938, from a private Mobile garden. 
The plants averaged 3 feet high. This was $138.00 each, or an 
average of $43.00 per foot.. A reasonable price, compared with 
numerous local sales of other fine specimen Camellias selling at 
$50.00 to $60.00 a foot.
