Grafted Gardenias 
Romance, beauty and wonderful fragrance are combined 
in these lovely blooms. Here is an evergreen shrub that 
grows to perfection in our locality, and we have made a 
specialty of it. We have experimented with many varieties 
and offer the most desirable kinds, all grafted on Gardenia 
thunbergi. Grafting overcomes the root-knot to which 
Gardenias on their own roots are subject. A good grafted 
Gardenia plant will live for years, increasing in size and 
beauty as it gets older. Rich soil with good drainage is 
needed; like many other plants, Gardenias like moisture 
but not ‘‘wet feet.’’ Several feedings and proper spraying 
will produce a shrub beautiful even when out of flower. 
Grafted plants will bloom over a period of several months. 
In our nursery we have one of the largest specimens of 
Grafted Gardenias in the State of Florida. It is over 9 
feet high, with a spread of 8 feet and a trunk caliper of over 
4 inches. Every year it produces literally thousands of 
blooms. Come to see our magnificent collection of Grafted 
Gardenias and make your own selection. 
GLAZERI. A new cross between Gardenia grandiflora 
and G. thunbergi. Large flowers, somewhat like 
McLellan No. 23. A strong grower. Grafted plants in 
gal. cans, $3.50 each. In nail kegs, $5.00 to $7.50 each. 
McLELLAN NO. 23. A very popular variety with beau- 
tiful foliage. Flowers are large and flat, opening like 
a rose. An excellent grower. We consider it the best 
large-flowering variety. 
VEITCHI. By far the most popular of all. Small to 
medium-sized flowers of perfect formation. Low and 
spreading in growth; small leaves. Blooms over a long 
period, especially when grafted, and responds to good 
care. Requires lots of water and regular fertilizing to 
keep it happy. 
HYBRIDS, MIXED SEEDLINGS. We secured these 
direct from the originator. We have several variations 
which are extra strong, compact growers, producing large, 
flat, beautifully shaped blooms. Much stronger and 
faster in growth than Veitchi. We were very much 
impressed with the flowers. Small plants from cuttings, 
$1.00 and $1.50 each. Strong grafted plants in gal. cans, 
$3.50 each. 
NEW. We have a few plants all of the same unnamed 
variety. Wild claims have been made for it; however, 
since our plants were small, we don’t yet know what 
it will do. Our original plants have formed buds and 
should bloom well this season. A rare specialty for 
collectors. Small plants from cuttings, $1.00 and $1.50 
each. Strong grafted plants in gal. cans, $3.50 each.
