AZALEAS 
We are proud to again offer an Azalea at 15¢ (in lots of 30). As 
usual, our plants are heavily rooted and nicely branched. In addi- 
tion to the first year plants, which we have always listed in our 
Spring catalogue, we are now offering second year plants as well. 
Our second year plants are little larger than our first year plants 
since they have been kept cut back but they are even more heavily 
rooted and better branched than our first year plants. They will 
grow off faster and will survive under more adverse conditions. 
Our first year azaleas will normally be expected to bloom in the 
Spring of 1953. Most of our second year azaleas have already 
bloomed and they will normally be expected to bloom again in 
the Spring of 1953. 
Our first year Giants are branched and about 8 inches tall. * 
First year Dwarfs are branched and about 6 inches tall. 
Please note that our Dwarfs are available in first year plants, 
only. 2

CAMELLIAS 
THE ARISTOCRAT OF SOUTHERN GARDENS 
The camellia is an evergreen having beautiful waxy green foliage throughout 
the entire year. It is a very long lived slow growing shrub. Although they grow 
rather slowly they eventually reach a height of about 20 teet under favor- 
able conditions. Camellias can easily be pruned to any desired size and so 
they may be grown as a pot plant or in a tub. 
CAMELLIA SASANQUAS: As camellias go, this specie is very hardy. Re- 
ports as to just how hardy are conflicting but it is our opinion that they may 
be grown in Zones I, II and III. 
CAMELLIA JAPONICAS: Where they can be grown, the Camellia Japonica 
is generally considered the most desirable specie of camellia. Their blooms 
are much more satistactory tor cutting and corsages than the Camellia Sas- 
anqua since they do not shatter easily as do the blooms ot Camellia Sasanqua. 
Furthermore, as a group their blooms tend to be larger and more double. 
CAMELLIA SASANQUA

GARDENIAS 
We have a real bargain to offer on these. Branched plants 18 inches tall for 
only 50c each or 10 for $4.00. These are not the little dwarf gardenias often 
advertised by mail but are the large type (Gardenia Hadley) highly prized by 
florists. As Gardenias go, they are quite hardy and can be grown in all of 
Zones I and II and parts of Zone Il). These would make a lovely blooming- 
ing hedge. 
BULBS 
ANEMONES & RANUNCULUS 
Highly prized by florists, these cheerful flowers are an interesting addition 
to any garden. Gay and colorful, they are a harbinger of Spring. Attractive in 
cock gardens, border plantings or beds for cutting. 
In Zone I Fall planting is best. Further north start in the very early Spring. 
It is helpful (but not necessary) to start indoors in flats and transplant. 
FANCY LEAVED CALADIUMS 
(not illustrated) 
The most fascinating and most beautiful of all brightly colored foliage plants. 
As a hot weather foliage plant, the fancy leaved caladium is in a class to itself. 
The leaves are beautitully colored and often reach a diameter of 18 inches 
or more. 
They may be grown in pots or window boxes as house plants, or in mass 
plantings or borders out of doors in either sun or shade. 
We have a wide selection of brilliantly colored varieties. Some are almost 
pure white with green ribs, some are almost pure pink. some are red and 
sreen, and others contain many shades and hues. Exotic is the word that 
best describes their exquisite beauty. 
BEGONIAS 
Unexcelled for sheer exquisite beauty. See special offer sheet for details. 
GIANT HYBRID AMARYLLIS 
With the least possible care you too can grow these immense lily-like 
flowers with their rich velvety texture. Vibrant colors include such favorites 
as crimson, scarlet, ruby, rose and orange, as well as the variegated types. 
Large, multiple blooms are supported by vigorous stems and are enhanced 
by attractive ribbonlike foliage. 
In the deep south, these Giant Hybrids may be planted outside, where 
they flower and multiply well. 
Further north, Amaryllis shouid be grown in the house, in pots or window 
boxes and they will produce magnificent blossoms about 6 or 8 weeks later. 
These bulbs may be kept from year to year, providing an ever-increasing num- 
ber of gorgeous flowers. For a succession of blooms throughout the spring 
plant these bulbs ien days or two wecks apart.
