Foreword 
HE SEA ISLAND NURSERY, established in 1927, is owned and operated by the Sea 
Island Company, Sea Island, Georgia. 
The ornamental shrubs, trees and plants that we grow have been thoroughly tested 
for their hardiness and adaptability to the climatic and soil conditions prevailing in the 
Southeast. 
Most of the plants listed in this catalog can be grown successfully throughout the 
Lower South, and many of them much farther north. A few, however, are hardy only in 
the southeastern coastal region from Charleston, S. C., southward and in the Gulf Coast 
region, where extreme winter temperatures rarely go below 25°. From the many varie- 
ties listed, decorative plants can be chosen that will provide color and beauty the year 
round in any section of the South. If you are not sure about the adaptability of certain 
plants to your locality, we shall be glad to assist you in making suitable and reliable 
choices. 
OUR PRICE LIST that accompanies this catalog lists the plants that we have for sale 
at the time of printing. We publish new price lists of available plants each year.
