AZALEAS 
For massed display of brilliant color the azalea is unexcelled by any other 
shrub. Azaleas are easy to grow if you are careful to select hardy varieties 
for your climate and if you plant them in acid soil. 
Our map on the reverse side is designed to aid you in selecting the best 
varieties for your location. Soil in most of the East and Southeast is already 
acid but if your local soil happens to contain too much lime this can be 
easily counteracted by the use of an acid fertilizer. 2 
We are frequently asked when to plant Azaleas. In our opinion they will 
do much better if planted in the Fall provided you protect them from 
adverse weather until they become established. There are 2 important 
advantages of planting azaleas in the Fall. 
1. The Fall plants which we ship are generally sturdier, stronger 
plants than are available at the same price in the Spring. 
2. Plants planted in the Fall will survive a drought the following 
summer very much better than azaleas planted in the Spring. 
We are now offering both Ist year and 2nd year plants. There is little 
difference in the size since both have been kept cut back, but the 2nd 
year plants are heavier rooted and have sturplier stems. 
| 
Many of the 2nd year plants will bloom this Spring. In general, the Ist 
year plants will not bloom until one year later. '

CAMELLIAS 
The Aristocrat of Southern Gardens 
We have the largest, healthiest, sturdiest Camellias that we have ever 
offered for sale in our regular catalog. Most of these camellias are plants 
which were left over from last year and they are a real bargain. Almost all 
of our Camellias have grown well this past year, but some of them are 
naturally larger and stronger than others. We are offering these extra heavy 
selected plants that are from 2 to 3 ft. tall for just 50c. Bed-run quality 
from 1% to 2 ft. for 35c. 
All of the first size will be branched and most of the 2nd size. 
These plants are grown in open beds without the “benefit” of glass. They 
are a real bargain but they should not be confused with balled and burlapped 
field grown specimen plants. 
Our planting directions have always advised you to cut back your Camellias 
when planting them out, but a recent check has indicated that very few 
of our customers actually do so. Camellias do much better if they are cut 
when they are moved and we strongly urge you to let us do this for you 
prior to shipping you the plants. Plants which are cut back are stubby in 
appearance and are less attractive upon arrival, however, they will grow 
much more readily and rapidly. 
These plants will not bloom this nig Most of them will bloom next year 
or the year after. 
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 Il. 
Sasanquas are not suitable for corsage work or cutting. They are hardier 
and freer blooming than the Camellia Japonicas and we recommend them 
for landscape use. 
SNOW ON THE Semi-double white. Very profuse. Our favorite 
MOUNTAIN 
ROSEA Large single flowers of brilliant pink. 
SLENDERLEE Watermelon pink, limber weeping foliage, 
WHITE BUTTERFLY White with pink blush. Single. 
CLEOPATRA Cherry red, single. Very compact growth. 
Dark green foliage. 
CAMELLIA JAPONICAS: Where they can be grown, the Camellia Japonica 
is generally considered the most desirable specie of camellia. The blooms 
are very satisfactory for cutting and corsages. 
PROFESSOR SARGENT Large full double, dark red, ball shaped. 
Hardy, fast growing. 
ICTOR EMANUEL Very large, late blooming double dark red. 
SARAH FROST Full double, rose pink, flat bloom with a

| tive.
