CAMELLIAS for Lower South Gardens 
Nothing brings such charm and distinction to gardens of the Gulf and Coastal section of 
the Southland as Camellias. They are at home in an area approximately from Charleston, 
through Augusta, Macon, Columbus, Montgomery, Meridian, Vicksburg, and New Orleans to 
the coast. With extra care, lovely Camellias may be grown above these limits. But the area 
designated is where these charming winter-flowering trees are at their best, and where they give 
a thrillmg display in mid-winter. Camellias and azaleas are a necessity if we are to keep our 
gardens of the Lower South distinctive. 
Design in the garden is rightly regarded as of primary importance, and the kinds of plants 
used in securing a desired effect are a secondary consideration. But if this pleasing design can 
be carried out with extra-fine and out-of-the-ordinary plants, then gardens of unusual beauty 
result. Such plants are the azaleas and Camellias, and gardens in which they are used are im- 
mediately lifted out of the commonplace. These shrubs take the place of good evergreen and 
deciduous shrubs and fill the garden with a glory that is unsurpassed in the winter and early 
spring. 
For many years we have given special attention to the growing of winter and early spring- 
flowering material, and particularly to Camellias in the past decade. Our Camellias are above 
the average in quality; practically all we offer this season were grown in fields and woodland 
beds. You will like these Camellia plants!
