HJORT’S Fine Hew CAMELLIAS 
Thomasville is m perhaps the most favored loca!'ity for producing the finest Camellia blooms in 
America. Visitors have told us the finest quality of bloom they have seen is in the area of which 
Thomasville is the center—Albany, Cairo, Tallahassee, Quitman. Here we have conditions of climate 
and soil most favorable to growing quality plants, too. 
Naturally, as an established and progressive nursery interested in the most distinctive flowering 
plants for this area, we have long been interested in Camellias. We are always procuring new varieties 
from other parts of the Camellia belt. And, we have produced, or distributed for other originators 
here, a goodly number of new varieties. 
We gave wide distribution to the lovely Camellia, Martha Brice, developed at Quitman, and we 
sent to all parts of the country many plants of Camellia Vashti, generally considered the best of the 
smaller, formal double variegated varieties. We distributed the charming new Camellias, Pearl] 
Maxwell from near-by Calvary, and Betty Sheffield, an outstanding seedling from Quitman. And 
for the second season the distinctively different novelty, Frank Gibson, is offered. 
Out of the many seedlings we have raised, or that have been brought to us for examination, we 
have, over a period of years, selected a few of real merit and we offer them here..

of light pink color; many blooms of it meas-

defects of streaking or folding back like Otome 
and several others. While not as heavy as the 
Mathotianas, it is not far behind in size, and 
for exquisite, soft color It is quite superior to 
other varieties of its form. Pearl Maxwell is a 
seedling of the vigorous Enrico Bettoni and 
like the parent is a vigorous grower. This 
outstanding Camellia was raised from a seed 
by Mrs. C. O. Maxwell, Cairo, Ga., and named 
in her honor. Several years ago she showed 
blooms at the Cairo and Thomasville Camellia 
shows which were greatly admired, and led us 
to seek propagating rights. See color illustra-

stocks, $15.00.

RELIANCE AZALEA AND CAMELLIA SPECIAL FERTILIZER 
For maximum growth, bloom, and general well-being, it is necessary to feed your plants properly. Un- 
fortunately for the Azalea and Camellia grower, most commercial fertilizers are made neutral by the use of 
limestone, and are not suitable for acid-loving plants. ; p oe ‘ 
To meet this need we keep in stock Reliance Azalea and Camellia Special, a commercial fertilizer which 
is acid, easy to apply, and has no objectionable odor. It supplies a balanced and complete food for these 
plants. With your purchases you will receive a little booklet giving much information on the planting and 
care of Azaleas and Camellias. a 
Prices of Reliance Azalea and Camellia Special Fertilizer: 25 Ibs. $1.50, 50 Ibs. $2.50, 100 Ibs. $4.50, f.o.b.
