An Azalea garden in full bloom is a wondrous sight. 
For Distinctive Lower South 
Gardens 
Azaleas and Camellias add grace, beauty and charm to gardens 
of the Lower South. 
“Design in the garden is rightly regarded as of primary import- 
ance, and the kinds of plant material used in securing a desired 
effect are a secondary consideration. But if, in addition to pleasing 
design, the planting can be carried out with beautiful and out-of- 
the- ordinary plants, than gardens of unusual beauty result. To 
such plant groups belong ihe azaleas and camellias, and gardens in 
which they are Need in a large way are immediately fired out of the 
commonplace. They take the places of good evergreen or deciduous 
shrubs, and, in addition, at certain seasons fill the garden with a 
glory that is unsurpassed.” 
Dr. H. Harold Hume, eminent horticulturist, writer, and dean 
of the College of Agriculture, University of Flor ida, wrote the above 
as an introduction to his valuable little book, ‘ ‘Azaleas and Camel- 
lias,” and it well expresses what we would say to those who would 
have distinctive gardens in the gulf and coastal section of the 
Southeast. 
For many years we have given particular attention to winter 
and early spring-flowering material, especially Azaleas, offering a 
large assortment of hardy. Kurume, Kaempferi and native varieties 
which may be grown and will succeed much farther inland than 
Indica Azaleas and Camellias. However, among Indica Azaleas we 
grow the hardier Lawsal, Dixie, Formosa, and Pride of Mobile ex- 
tensively. Our Azaleas are above the average in quality, having 
been spaced out properly and grown well.

In our Gulf and coastal Southland a succession of varieties blooms four months.

ptzalea Woodland 
March is the month of Azaleas, at which time the midseason varieties 
are at their height, and these contain the greatest range of color and form. 
In March we are glad to have visitors come on Sunday afternoon and 
enjoy with us the wonderful display of Azalea bloom at Hjort’s Azalea 
Woodland, two miles east of Thomasville on the paved State Road No. 
38. Late Azaleas, including beautiful native varieties, bloom far into 
April. 
Enlarged and ample parking facilities are provided and conveniently 
placed signs guide you easily through the Azalea plantings. All the main 
roads into Thomasville are paved, and visitors from many cities in this 
section have found it a delightful Sunday afternoon trip to drive over to 
see the Azaleas at Hjort’s Azalea Woodland. 
Absolutely no admission charge or collections taken and nobody is asked 
to buy. This is the greatest display of Azalea color and varieties in this 
section. Come and enjoy it with us. 
AZALEA and CAMELLIA 
FERTILIZER 
For maximum growth, bloom, and general well-being, it is necessary to 
feed your plants properly. Unfortunately for the Azalea and Camellia 
grower, most commercial fertilizers are made neutral by the use of limestone, 
and are not suitable for acid-loving plants. 
To meet this need we keep in stock Reliance Azalea and Camellia Special, 
a commercial fertilizer which is acid, easy to apply, and has no objectionable 
odor. It supplies a balanced and complete food for these plants. With your 
purchases you will receive a little booklet giving much information on the 
planting and care of Azaleas and Camellias.
