AYRES’ NURSERIES. 
Associated with C. STARKE & CO., LIMITED, is the old 
firm of CHARLES AYRES, and their activities are principally in 
connection with the FLORAL and NURSERY side of our 
enterprise. 
At AYRES’ NURSERIES we have the finest stock of Palms 
and Shrubs to be found in South Africa, and we invite you to 
call there and inspect our interesting display. In our monthly 
publication “ My Garden and What to Grow ” we print, from 
time to time, descriptive lists of Palms, Shrubs, Trees, Climbers, 
Hedge Plants, Roses, Dahlias, Carnations, Chrysanthemums and 
other Herbaceous Perennials and Greenhouse and Pot Plants. 
At the beginning of the year we deal exhaustively with Bulbs 
in the same publication. Our stock of Bulbs is probably the 
finest in this country, as you will easily ascertain from a persual 
of the annual list. 
Annually, in May, we issue a Rose List, in which we offer 
the New Roses of the season and of recent years. We always 
import all the best of the New Roses, and these are offered at 
reasonable prices. All the best of the older varieties are also 
offered in the same list. 
Of Carnations, all the best and thoroughly proved varieties, 
including the new introductions, will be found in our lists at prices 
which compare favourably w T ith those charged in England. 
In FLORAL ARTWORK we specialise and we are regularly 
handling in this department orders from all parts of South Africa, 
as well as from England, America and other parts of the world. 
Floral tokens and tributes in fresh flowers are daily sent out by 
the score at the request of distant friends, and they comprise 
every type of work in this department. We are members 
of the world wide FLORISTS’ TELEGRAPH DELIVERY 
ASSOCIATION, whose motto is “ Say it with Flowers,” and we 
can arrange by cable or letter for your Floral Message to be 
delivered in almost any part of the world. 
Any or all of the Special Catalogues mentioned above can 
be had free on application, and we shall gladly place your name 
on our mailing list for that interesting leaflet “ My Garden and 
What to Grow,” which we send free every month. This leaflet 
will give you quite a lot of help in your gardening work. Write 
now and tell us what you are interested in.
