Chandleri Elegans 
CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
One of Fruitland’s Specialties 
I T is with considerable satisfaction that we look back over the 
history of Fruitland Nurseries and note that we were among 
the pioneers in introducing the exquisite Camellia japonica to 
Southern gardens. Even today it is a common thing to find 
Camellias fifty to sixty years old that originally came from our 
nurseries. Camellias, familiarly known as “Japonicas,” are im¬ 
portant plants in Southern gardens, and Fruitland Nurseries have 
given special attention to propagating the older varieties, as well 
as selecting the desirable new introductions. At the present time 
we grow about 80 distinct 
sorts, and never before in the 
history of the firm have we 
had such a superb collection. 
Because of the scarcity of cer¬ 
tain varieties we have only a 
few plants on hand and these 
are not here listed. 
Should you not know the 
name of the variety that you 
wish, please send us a flower 
so that we may be able to in¬ 
dicate whether the variety is 
in our collection or not. We 
have been very successful in 
pleasing our customers and 
hundreds of orders of this kind 
are filled each season. 
CULTURE OF CAMELLIA 
JAPONICA 
Camellias will grow in full 
sun if protected for the first 
few summers with a lattice 
frame. However, an ideal place 
for planting is where the plants get only a half day’s sun. Do 
not plant in full shade, as they will not blossom as freely. In 
planting, the holes should be dug large. If the soil is not fertile, 
use the following mixture: one-half good garden soil; one-fourth 
well-rotted cow manure; one-fourth peat or leaf-mold, well mixed. 
After planting, mulch with half-rotted leaves or peat. Each spring 
Camellias should be fertilized with well-rotted cow manure, bone- 
meal and Vigoro or Loma. Always keep the plants well mulched 
and watered. The first two summers after planting are very 
trying on the plants and often prove disastrous unless these two 
simple things are done; watering and mulching. 
The foliage is sometimes attacked by a scale insect, which may 
be readily controlled by spraying in January with Scalecide—1 
part to 15 parts water. This sometimes burns the foliage, and 
if this is objectionable, use Garden Yolck at rate of 1 part to 
40 parts in summer; 1 part to 20 parts in winter. In spraying be 
sure to wet the underside of leaves. These spray materials may 
be found on page 42 of our Catalog.
