CULTIVATION OF CAMELLIAS 
For Open Ground — To get the best results Camel¬ 
lias should be planted in a partially shaded situation, 
especially where protected from the cold winds of 
winter and the hot, afternoon sun <>f summer. Any 
good garden soil is suitable, but if mixed with leaf 
mold and well-rotted cow manure better results will 
be obtained. The plants should be kept thoroughly 
mulched with well-rotted leaves. In this section the 
best time to transplant Camellias is from early Octo¬ 
ber until middle of November, and from middle of 
February to end of March. 
For Conservatories—Use a potting compost of peat 
or leaf-mold and good loam, and give ample drainage 
When in growth, they require an abundance of water 
spraying of the foliage. When dormant, water spar¬ 
ingly and keep in cool temperature. Fire heat is not 
needed except during excessively cold weather which 
would injure distending buds. Dropping of bods is 
caused by plants drying out, or by over-watering, or 
being kept in high temperature under glass.

Cinnamomum 
(Camphor) 
Cinnamomum Campliora. (Laurus Camphora). (Cam¬ 
phors officinalis). (Camphor Tree). This desir¬ 
able and beautiful tree is hardy at Augusta. Along 
the Atlantic and Gulf Coast it is largely used as a 
shade tree for street and avenue planting. In Flo¬ 
rida the Camphor is now being extensively and suc¬ 
cessfully planted for the extraction of gum. The 
tree is of a very rapid and stately growth; leaves 
bright, glossy green. The young growth is very 
attractive, as it is tinged with red, which gives a 
most striking and pleasing effect. The Camphor 
will do well on poor soil, but will give a most satis¬ 
factory growth when properly fertilized and when 
grown on well-drained soil. It does not thrive in 
wet situations. In transplanting, both the pot- 
grown and open ground plants should have their 
side branches cut back and the plants defoliated; 
otherwise loss is apt to ensue.
