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 
This is one F of our specialties and we annually 
grow upwards of ten to fifteen thousand Camellias. 
The demand for this old favorite is continually in¬ 
creasing. All of our plants are propagated from our 
own specimens, which are grown in open ground. 
Our collection contains nearly one hundred choice 
varieties, and the plants we offer comprise a great 
range of colors, also early- and late-blooming varieties, 
with double and semi-double blooms.

CULTIVATION OF CAMELLIAS 
For open ground. —A partially shaded situation, 
especially where protected from the cold winds of win¬ 
ter, 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 November, 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 drain¬ 
age. 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 weath¬ 
er, which would injure distending buds. Dropping of 
buds is caused by plants becoming too dry or by over¬ 
watering, or being kept under high temperature under 
glass.
