and observation and deals with all aspects of the sub- 
ject—culture outdoors and indoors, nomenclature, 
botany, history, soils, diseases, camellia shows, ship- 
ping, and landscaping.

CAMELLIAS 
for 
Lower South Gardens 
Norumne 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 mid- 
winter. 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 commonplace. These shrubs 
take the place of good evergreen and deciduous shrubs and 
fill the garden with a glory that is unsurpassed in the winter 
and early spring. 
For many years we have given special attention to the grow- 
ing of winter and early spring-flowering material, and par- 
ticularly 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.
