(Plant Patent No. 866) 
Orton Nursery is operated in conjunction with historically 
famous Orton Plantation and its beautiful gardens, a major 
feature of the gardens being the camellia and azalea collection 
which make up one of the finest in the country. It is because 
of this close association that we can offer for your approval a 
selection of the choicest varieties in a wide range of sizes, all 
propagated from the quality specimens which are the pride of 
our Gardens. 
In addition te the large and selected stock of azaleas and 
camellias in which we specialize, each year we feature some 
species and varieties of plants which after experimental plant- 
ing we can either recommend to you as adaptable introductions 
into this climatic region, or which we wish to emphasize as 
being found especially noteworthy otherwise. As you well know, 
display of flower color is but one of the prime qualities of gar- 
den value. Interest is further enhanced by significant perfumes, 
or again brilliant berries give the touch that is desired. 
We hope you will visit Orton Nursery to inspect our stock 
at first hand. You will be thrilled at the sight of thousands of 
thrifty plants in their slatted sheds or beneath the handsome 
live-oaks. Whether you come as a visitor to the nursery or as 
a prospective customer you will be most welcome.
