BUSINESS TERMS 
Cash or satisfactory reference must accompany 
order for immediate shipment. Orders booked for 
future shipment 25% deposit, balance due upon de- 
livery of plants. No orders accepted to be crated and 
shipped for less than $5.00. Crating at cost. Checks 
made payable to Orton Nursery. 
Customers are requested to give definite instruc- 
tions for shipping. In the absence of special instruc- 
tions we will use our own judgement. 
We make no substitutions unless requested. State 
whether we may substitute if out of stock ordered. 
This often precludes additional correspondence. 
Our liability ceases upon delivery of nursery stock 
properly packed and accepted by public carrier. All 
claims must be made within 10 days after receipt. 
Our stock is properly grown and dug with a com- 
pact root system. It is regularly inspected by North 
Carolina State Department of Agricultural officials, 
and is apparently free of injurious insect pests and 
plant diseases. 
Orton Nursery is operated in conjunction with 
historically famous Orton Plantation and its beau- 
tiful 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 to 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 planting 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 garden 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 pros- 
pective customer you will be most welcome. 
As we were short in certain varieties we 
have purchased for resale certain of the plants 
listed herein. These items were well grown 
and are healthy. We stand behind them as we 
do our own stock.
