SPECIAL ITEMS 
Described at random in this catalog are several outstanding orna- 
mentals which have been found very satisfactory and most desir- 
able. No southern garden is complete without one or more of each of 
these. 

OUR CAMELLIAS 
From the many varieties we have gathered from camellia growers and 
collectors, which have been added to the fine old camellias in the garden, 
we are propagating only those of the best strains and superior character- 
istics. It is a well-known fact that certain plants will produce finer flowers 
than similar ones having the same origin, and it has been through the 
continual observation of the flowering and growth habits of camellia plants 
that we have built up our stock to its present high standard. When you 
see our thrifty camellia plants we feel sure that you will agree that Orton 
camellias are distinctive. 
GRAFTED CAMELLIAS 
Camellia varieties which are very difficult to root or are very slow grow- 
ers, usually reach blooming size in two or three years if grafted. The 
rootstock used is a fast growing variety such as Sarah Frost or one of the 
varieties of Camellia sasanqua. Very scarce and rare camellias are usual- 
ly grafted. Our price list indicates those varieties available in one and 
two year grafts. Prices vary according to age and size of rootstock.
