This booklet shows many varieties of Roses, Azaleas and Camellias not grown by most 
nurseries. You can pick up Radiance and Talisman Roses, Formosa and Flame Azaleas almost 
anywhere, and we have no quarrel with these varieties. But here we seek to fill a need for a 
place where rare and unusual plants may be obtained, those varieties which make gardens dis- 
tinctive. 
The growing season the past spring and summer has been excellent, and we offer plants of 
the best quality we have ever raised. We like to have visitors come to the nursery, compare 
values and make selections. But for a long time we have been sending plants to many states, 
and to those who must order by mail we promise careful selections and prompt shipment. 
We are grateful for the patronage of the past, we solicit the continued favors of old customers 
and we solicit, too, the patronage of many new customers. Every effort will be made to render 
faithful service.

A GREAT HORTICULTURIST PASSES 
After a long and useful life, the founder of our business, Peter 
Julius Hjort, died July 12, 1948, aged 86 years. He was recognized 
far and wide for his encyclopedic knowledge of trees and shrubs, 
both native and exotic. A most modest man, his steadfast character 
was well appraised in a letter a friend wrote of him, quoting from 
words found on the tombstone of a faithful steward of William and 
Mary College, Williamsburg, Va.: 
“Industry, frugality, integrity, simplicity of manner and inde- 
pendence of soul adorn his character and procured him universal 
esteem. 
‘Reader: Learn from this example, that as the most exalted sta- 
tion may be debased by vice, so there is no situation in life on which 
virtue will not confer dignity.”’
