What Price Real Estate? 
SMART MERCHANTS KNOW that it is easier to sell more things to more people when they make 
it easier for them to buy. 
TORMEY’S CAMELLIAS can be merchandised in the modern manner—like so many other things 
which can be displayed on store counters and tables where buyers find it 
convenient to wait on themselves. 
CLEAN AND LIGHT 
Nurserymen and florists alf over the country 
have overlooked the chance to make good 
profits by not having camellias available in 
containers. Placed outdoors in a protected place 
in partial shade most of the year, and hrought 
indoors to a well ventilated, light, cool place 
during freezing weather, the plants will have 
better growing conditions than a permanent 
ground location will afford. 
These fine camellia plants sent in enameled 
attractive green containers of the proper size 
— from which plants can be removed without 
the need of any can cutting — weight but 
5 pounds. The plants comparing favorably in 
all respects with those usually sold with a heavy 
ball of dirt, or in five gallon containers. There 
is no dirt or tar to mess hands or car. Unless 
the plants are to be left in containers for a, 
long time — there could be no good reason for 
our selling them to you in any larger containers 
than those we use. 
MORE PLANT FOR THE MONEY 
The practice of uzing containers or big balls 
of dirt larger than necessary so as to create 
illusory plant size is never resorted to by Tor- 
mey’s. Our prices ar2 based on plant merit 
and not by the size of containers — a _ basis 
more applicable to the selling of Real Estate 
by the gallon — for it conveys little information 
otherwise. 
LOWEST DELIVERY COSTS 
Ten of these plants as shown with the 
special ‘‘Sta-Fresh’’ shipping case weioh but 
fifty pounds — and can be shipped by Express, 
or Air Freight where this service is available, 
for less than the costs of transporting a similar 
number of plants with many qallons of un- 
needed real estate sent un-protected via de- 
layed delivery. You can determine delivery costs 
in advonce — your express agency can tell you 
how little it costs for delivery of a case of ten 
plants tinder the class 2 rate. 
NO DELIVERY DELAY 
Plants are shipped at any time you want them 
— by express or other public carriers — to 
reach you fresh and in as qood condition as 
when they left our place. There is no chance 
of plants being dried out or damaged when 
protected by our, packing case. 
NO PACKING CHARGE 
Packing costs have been reduced to a mini- 
mum by the elimination of the custom packing 
of random lots. Shipments are made by the 
case containing ten plants each. Your orders 
in multiples of ten plants eliminates the need 
of charging extra for packing.
