Growing in the famous Bellingrath Gardens, near Mobile, is a Ca- 
mellia that excites universal admiration when in bloom, Visitors, 
Seeing the breath-taking beauty of this Camellia flower, marvel at 
its fiery color, the boldness of its large, showy buds and enor- 
mous blossoms, Here is a rare and priceless Ruby of Horticulture. 
While known locally as VICTOR EMuANUCL, uninilpeachable evidence 
found in authoritative books on Camellias, prove beyond doubt that 
this name is false. Rather than advertise a pseudo~* ‘stor Enmuanu- 
el we prefer to sell this variety under the natie BLUGD OF CHINA, 
by which it is known at many nurseries. 
Our varicty produces flowers 4 to 5 inches in dianieter, coripris- 
ed of many petals, irregularly Shaped, twisted and curled, of 
loose peony or rose form. Color is deep, but brilliant salnon-red 
with reticulated darker veins, occasionally a few petals in center 
are splashed with white. 
When fully opened, a short brush of golden anthered stamens adds 
to the harmony of color combination, 
Natural period of flowering in latitude of Mobile is late Janu- 
ary through April. 
BLOOD OF CHINA blooms freely, withstanding sub-{reezing weather, 
Srows vigorously in congenial soil, making globular type speciman 
blooms,

MARGARET 
MADSEN 
This “out of the ordinary" Ca- 
mellia was originated by a Mrs. 
Margaret Madsen, Ocean Springs, 
Miss., for whom it is named. It 
is a seedling of Chandleri Ele- 
gans and to our knowledge has 
never been offered for sale com- 
mercially.

low growing junipers in growing habits, Compact and graceful, the 
diameter usually exceeds the height of this Canmiellia variety. An ex- 
cellent type shrub for landscaping and outside color, 
A remarkably winter-hardy variety that will tolerate below freezing 
temperatures and then bloom freely.
