FOREWORD 
This catalogue comes to you with greetings from us here at Old Fort 
Nursery. As the seasons go by, we find living all the more fascinating as 
we deal in the culture of such plant loves as Camellias and Azaleas, and 
particularly treasured to us is the friendly association we have with our 
many patrons. 
A visit from our old customers is like a visit from old friends, and we 
welcome the opportunity to chat with them and catch up on the news. 
When a new face appears, we are happy to make the new acquaintance and 
add it to the circle. 
If we are privileged to serve them, we are glad to do so, and strive to 
serve them well. If they’re browsing around, our garden is open FOV stheil 
pleasure to come and go at will. 
In our garden is to be found a fine collection of Camellias and Azaleas, 
and is a mecca for birds and squirrels. People seem to enjoy the natural 
setting of an old Revolutionary Fortress atop which trees have grown to 
gigantic size. Here the moss draped limbs of towering pines and oaks, 
as well as native Dogwood, Judus and Holly trees frame the vistas created 
by Nature, and as we continue to develop this garden by adding the man- 
made touch to Nature, we hope that many more people will feel free to 
visit us often and take advan.age of our invitation without obligation. 
To those of you who have never visited our nursery or garden, we 
would like you to meet the folks!

Come back to see us. We'll be so glad to see you!
