Double (Camellia Flowering) Type 
PLANTING AND CARE 
In the spring the dormant tubers show pink swellings at the center of the crown. They 
should then be potted in rich loose soil, preferably leaf mold. Be sure the drainage is good and 
that the tuber is so placed that the top center is not far under the soil. Water sparingly until 
the first leaves form, increasing the moisture supply after that time as the plant develops. After 
they are well established they can be transplanted to the bed or boxes or grown on in the pots
