SIGMUND TARNOK & COMPANY 
can only supply two double whites. All our plants 
are grown in open ground during summer and lifted 
and potted in October when they are thoroughly 
matured. In this latitude it is best to plant Azaleas 
in open ground in March and April, but southward 
they can be safely planted from October until April. 
Azaleas are liable to attacks of red spider and 
thrips. especially if the plants suffer from want of 
Proper watering. Daily syringing of plants kept 
under glass will aid in eradicating these pests, as 
also will a spray of sulpho-tobacco soap. 
A well-fed, well-tended and well-pruned Azalea 
need never groc. scraggy and misshapen with age, 
but should more beautiful every year as its 
increasing spread - of brjtnches gives room for the 
display of myriads more of flowers. Those who 
grow Azaleas in the house should remember that the 
flowers will last, much logger if the plants are kept 
\\f a cool room after they have expanded.

CULTIVATION OF CAMELLIAS 
For Open Ground. To get the best results Camel¬ 
lias should be planted in a partially shaded situa¬ 
tion, especially where protected from the cold winds 
of winter and the hot, afternoon sun of summer. 
Any good garden soil is suitable, but if mixed with 
lo:if mold and well-rotted cow manure better results 
will be obtained. The plants should be kept thor¬ 
oughly mulched with well-rotted leaves. In this 
section the best time to transplant Camellias is from 
early October 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 drain¬ 
age. When in growth, they require an abudance of 
water spraying of the foliage. When dormant, water 
sparingly and keep in cool temperature. Fire heat 
is not needed except during excessively cold weather 
which would injure distending buds. Dropping of 
buds is caused by plants drying out, or by over¬ 
watering, or being kept in high temperature under 
glass.

Cinnamomum 
(Camphor) 
Cinnamomum Camphora. (Laurus Camphora). (Cam- 
phora 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 
successfully planted for the extraction of* gum. 
I he tree is of a very rapid arid stately growth; 
leaves bright, glossy green. The young growth is 
very attractive, as it tinged with red. which gives 
a most striking and pleasing effect. The Camphor 
will do well on poor soil, but will give a most sa¬ 
tisfactory 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.
