Camellias for Lower South Gardens 
OTHING brings such charm and distinction to gardens 
of the Gulf and Coastal section of the Southland as 
Camellias. They are at home in an area approximately 
from Charleston, through Augusta, Macon, Columbus, 
Montgomery, Meridian, Vicksburg, and New Orleans to the 
coast. With extra care, lovely Camellias may be grown above 
these limits. But the area designated is where these charming 
winter-flowering trees are at their best, and where they give 
a thrilling display in midwinter. Camellias and azaleas are a 
necessity if we are to keep our gardens of the Lower South 
distinctive. 
Design in the garden is rightly regarded as of primary im- 
portance, and the kinds of plants used in securing a desired 
effect are a secondary consideration. But if this pleasing 
design can be carried out with extra-fine and out-of-the- 
ordinary plants, then gardens of unusual beauty result. 
Such plants are the azaleas and Camellias, and gardens in 
which they are used are immediately lifted out of the common- 
place. These shrubs take the place of good evergreen and 
deciduous shrubs and fill the garden with a glory that ts un- 
surpassed in the winter and early spring. 
For many years we have given special attention to the 
growing of winter and early spring-flowering material, and 
particularly to Camellias in the past decade. Our Camellias 
are above the average in quality; practically all we offer this 
season were grown in fields and woodland beds. Although 
labor has been short the past few years and production of 
many things has been curtailed, we have actually grown more 
Camellias. You will like these Camellia plants! 

VISITORS, PLEASE NOTE: We wish to serve everyone in turn. At the height of the 
season sometimes many cars are at the nursery at one time. In order that salesmen may 
know who is ‘‘next,” please give your name at the office upon arrival. The ladies in the 
office will then see that you are served in turn and as quickly as possible consistent with 
adequate and courteous attention to all.
