CAMELLIAS 
Camellias are sometimes called the “Aristocrats of Southern Gardens”. They are 
easily grown in the South, and their rich, glossy foliage and colorful flowers make them 
unusually attractive. There are many named varieties;, but not all are desirable. The 
flowers are produced during the mid-winter when no other flowers are found in the 
garden, bringing increased admiration for this plants 
HOW TO GROW CAMELLIAS 
Camellias grow in almost any soil, but they should 
not be planted in soil containing a great deal of 
lime, or fertilized with a mixture containing lime. 
A well drained, good garden soil, a little acid in 
reaction is more suitable. Half shady locations are 
preferable, _ especially when the plants are young; 
free blooming cannot be expected in a place entirely 
shady. They love a humid atmosphere, and water¬ 
ing should not be neglected during hot, dry months. 
Frequent syringing of the leaves help a great deal.
