132 .CAMELLIA CULTURE. 



March. 



Almost all the white Camellias will be through flow- 

 ering. 



Although the plants have buds on, very few will come 

 to perfection. 



The sap is now running freely, and the plants are 

 about ready to make their young growth for the coming 

 season. 



Keep them a little warmer just at this time, say sixty 

 to seventy degrees. 



Give them plenty of room and all the light that is pos- 

 sible between the plants. 



Have the glass shaded with whiting, lime or the new 

 mixture, to prevent the strong rays of the sun from burn- 

 ing the foliage. 



Syringe three times a week. 



Fumigating with tobacco will be beneficial to the 

 plants during this month. 



The plants are now in a growing state, and will re- 

 quire more water than at any other season. 



Inarching 



Can be done this month, but when there are hundreds 

 to be marched I prefer the months of July and August. 



April. 



Many of the plants will be still growing. 

 Treat the same as for last month.
