THOMASVILLE NURSERIES
"4fome ofi Koses
Location. Main Nursery office, lath-houses, and Trial-Grounds at intersection of Boston and Summerhill roads with Boulevard, 2 miles east of Thomasville. Roses and Evergreen Nursery on Boston Road, 3 miles east of Thomasville. The Thomasville-Boston Road is a link of the Lone Star Trail from Los Angeles to St. Augustine, and is also known as Georgia State Road No. 38.
Invitation to Visitors. Visitors are welcome at our place every day in the year. We transact no business on Sundays, but leave our gates open for visitors to see the Azaleas, Roses, etc. A visit to the Nurseries is not an obligation to purchase.
Terms. Cash with order or satisfactory references, except to parties of known responsibility. Transportation at Purchaser’s Risk. All transportation expenses are to be paid by the purchaser; our responsibility ceases upon delivery, in good order, to forwarding companies. Substitution. We do not substitute unless so authorized. It is well, however, as the season advances, to name substitute to be used in the event of shortage.
Inspection. Our Nurseries were inspected by a representative of M. S. Yoemans, State Entomologist, Atlanta, Ga., July, 1937, and a certificate to this effect, and that plants are fumigated as required by law, accompanies every shipment, and we comply with the various laws of the states into which we ship.
Claims. If, by any possibility, errors should occur, they will be promptly rectified, if claim is made within 10 days after receipt of the goods.
Guarantee. We cannot control conditions after plants leave our hands, and we cannot, therefore, guarantee our plants to live. We do guarantee all stock sent out to be well rooted, true to name, properly packed and shipped according to instructions.
Quantity Rates. Forty or more plants at the 100 rate; 300 or more at the 1000 rate. Order Early. We cannot too strongly urge the advisability of ordering early. In so doing one gets the assortment and pick of the stock and avoids disappointment of possible failure to get order filled complete. Orders may be sent early and stock reserved for later delivery.
About Ourselves. This is our 40th season. Thomasville Nurseries was established in 1898 by P. J. Hjort, who remains as Consulting Horticulturist. Sam C. Hjort is President, Mrs. N. P. Hjort, Secretary-Treasurer.
Address all communications and make remittances payable to Thomasville Nurseries, Thomasville, Ga.

Hjort’s Fancy Camellias
The Camellias, commonly called “Japonicas,” are the most valuable flowering shrubs or small trees in the gardens of the Lower South. For the past eight years we have been diligently collecting Camellias from many sources, and now have a very fine collection. We are listing 50 named varieties, and have many more for which we have not been able to get correct names, some of which are very choice kinds. Our Camellias are mostly pot-grown, vigorous plants, not to be compared with inferior, layered plants which usually have poor root-systems. The growing of quality Camellias is a specialty with us.

The Kurumes, natives of Japan, fully one thousand miles farther north than the native habitat of the Indica varieties, are by far the hardiest Azaleas, and in the Lower South have stood perfectly the freezes which damaged more tender kinds. The Kurume Azaleas, contrary to popular belief, are not all dwarf growers. There are medium and tall kinds, and the widest assortment of color. We have developed a large stock of these dependable Azaleas, and our prices are lower than these plants can usually be bought for, while the quality is the best. Our plants, from smallest to largest, are shapely and well set with buds.

All of the Azaleas we offer are stocky, well-grown plants, set with the maximum of flower-buds.
The growing of fine Azaleas has be¬ come a great specialty with us.
