CAMELLIAS FROM ALABAMA 
The finest camellia nursery stock in the Old 
South is grown in the vicinity of Mobile, Ala- 
bama. This area appears to combine al] of the 
soil and climatic conditions ideal for the pro- 
duction of camellias. Gentle summer rains 
wash the foliage and provide the plants with 
all the water required for optimum growth 
and the soil is naturally acid from centuries 
of accumulated pine needles and native oak 
leaves. 
Last spring we personally selected a large car- 
load of the finest of the rare and standard va- 
rieties to supplement our stock of California- 
grown plants. They were dug and shipped to 
us this fall. 
Camellias grown in the Old South do not set 
as many flower-buds on young plants as those 
grown here, and some plants do not have buds 
now. They respond quickly to our California 
climate and are capable of setting a good crop 
of buds the first year. We invite your inspec- 
tion and approval.
