Camellia Japonica 
IMPORTED PLANTS 
These are bushy and shapely plants, but without flower- 
buds. The color ranges in all shades of red from a very pale 
pink to darkest crimson, and with flowers combining exquisite 
variegations, pencilings, mottlings, etc. Whilst we import a 
large quantity of Camellias from the largest and most reliable 
European growers, we cannot always guarantee that every 
plant of the colored section will come true to label in every 
instance, and we have to purchase and sell under those con¬ 
ditions.

HOME-GROWN PLANTS 
We annually grow ten to fifteen thousand Camellias. The 
demand for this old favorite is annually increasing. All of the 
plants we offer are propagated from our own specimens, which 
are grown in open ground. Our selection contains nearly one 
hundred varieties, and the plants we offer comprise a great 
range of colors, also early-and late-blooming varieties. In the 
home-grown section we do not offer any C. alba plena. 
Cultivation of Camellias 
For Open Ground. —A partially shaded situation, especi¬ 
ally where protected from the cold winds of winter, is most 
desirable. Any good garden soil is suitable, but, if mixed with 
leaf-mold, better results may be expected. The best seasons for 
transplanting are from early October to beginning of Novem¬ 
ber, and from end of February to end of March. Mulch the 
plants with well-rotted manure. 
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 and 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 becoming too dry or by over-wat er- 
ing, or being kept under high temperature under glass.
