E ARE sending you this list of our Flowers 
and Fruits for Central Florida in the hope 
that it will encourage you to ORDER NOW 
the plant material that your home grounds need. 
We solicit your business without any qualifica- 
tions, for we are equipped to handle any volume 
that comes our way. Our stock is plentiful, and 
what’s more it is in top condition, ready to take 
hold immediately after being transplanted. Our 
trucks and workers are adequate and we are 
ready to give you excellent service.

And what exactly are the “‘speciaities of the 
house’? We would call your attention to our 
good collection of azaleas, fruit trees, camel- 
lias, grafted gardenias, buginvillaea, podo- 
carpus and ixora. You will go a long way to 
find a fuller and better list of spectacular old- 
fashioned and new hibiscus. We have made 
an exhaustive study of hibiscus as it is growing 
in our part of the country, checking old descrip- 
tions with actual blooming plants, and we are 
pretty proud of what we now offer. Primarily 
we cater to the trade of Central Florida, espe- 
cially the area around Tampa, but we also have 
some items not listed that are more at home far- 
ther south. Don’t be afraid to ask us about items 
not listed here. 
Now, better than any catalog reading you may 
do, will be a personal trip to our nurseries. There 
is nothing like the sight of a gorgeous camellia 
or hibiscus in bloom to make you realize just 
what a similar plant could do for your own gar- 
den. And please don’t get the idea that we are 
super-salesmen who will compel you to buy when 
you are “‘just looking around.” We will be very 
happy to have you do just that; if you want to 
ask us about any particular plant, we shall be 
glad to serve you but otherwise we shall let you 
roam around at will without interference. 
Please note that our nurseries are open to 
visitors the year round, but our business hours 
on week-days are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Satur- 
day, 8 A.M. to noon), except by special appoint- 
ment (Phone 332261). From mid-October to 
mid-May we are also open on Sunday from 
10 a.m. to 6 p.m., but we are closed on Sunday 
all summer. Telephone calls are to be made at 
these same hours, except that we never answer 
the phone on Sunday.
