CAMELLIA CULTURE. 



Topping or cutting young 

 Camellias back is an import- 

 ant matter. 



I have seen among Camel- 

 lia growers sticks used as a 

 means of support to young 

 plants. 



I do not approve of this 

 practice at all. 



If my directions are fol- 

 lowed carefully, they will be 

 strong, and will not need sup- 

 port of any kind.
