MATHOTIANA RUBRA. GREATEST OF DOUBLE RED CAMELLIAS 
FOREWORD 
N TIMES of war stress and concern we found rest and 
solace in our gardens, in the beauty and fragrance of the 
rose, the loveliness of the camellias, the breath-taking 
beauty of colorful azaleas, the majesty of trees, the charm of 
seasonal, colorful flowering shrubs, of annuals and perennials. 
In a changing world these changeless and everlasting things 
given for our happiness will again afford rest and inspiration. 
Here at Thomasville we are interested not In growing just 
a few standard horticultural products on which the financial 
returns might be greatest, but in rendering our people as 
large service as possible through growing a wide assortment 
of roses, camellias, azaleas, etc. In this booklet will be found 
listed many varieties not obtatnable at most nurseries. New 
and rare plants will make grounds and gardens distinctive. 
We will be very happy if the service we render adds to the 
happiness of others. 
The nursery grounds and Azalea Woodland will be open 
to visitors at all times except Sunday morning and all day

Monday and Tuesday, without admission charge. Con- 
siderable restoration of areas unkept during the labor 
shortage of war times, and renewal of walks and bridges 
have been effected during the past summer. Many new 
plants have been set along the drives, and, of course, the 
older stock plants have grown into greater beauty. 
To those who would purchase plants let us state that we 
have as large and varied stock of camellias as ever and some- 
what larger stock of roses than last season, while most 
other items are shorter. The growing season has been an 
excellent one, and the quality is superior. Already the labor 
situation is easing some and we have every reason to believe 
we can serve our customers well. Our shipping department 
will make every effort to serve promptly those who cannot 
come to the nursery. 
But, now that restrictions are off, those who can 
travel are urged to visit the nursery grounds and Azalea 
Woodland!
