Trees and Shrubs 



CAMELLIA. 



Camellia. 



A genus of hardy evergreen 

 trees or shrubs of elegant habit, 

 bearing gorgeous vari-colored 

 flowers. Some are single, many 

 are semi-double, and hundreds of 

 varieties have double flowers in 

 all shades of red, pink, and 

 white or beautifully mottled or 

 striped. With a good well- 

 selected variety, they may be 

 had in bloom for four or five 

 months beginning in January. 



The Camellia loves a par- 

 tially-shaded situation away 



from cold winds, good, deep, sandy soil and plenty of water dur- 

 ing the Summer months. 



Propagate, in September, by cuttings, or by layering in the 

 usual manner in June and July, or by seeds sown one-quarter of 

 an inch deep as soon as delivered or in the early Spring. 



CARAGANA. 



Hardy deciduous ornamental trees and shrubs with pinnate 

 leaves and pea-shaped flowers, mostly natives of Siberia and 

 Northern China. They grow in any garden soil. 



Propagate, between November and February, by cuttings of 

 the roots or by layers, or by seeds sown in Spring. Cover the 

 seeds to the depth of one-eighth of an inch.
