CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
Commonly known as “Japonica” in the South: becoming 
recently a most popular plant not only in the Gulf Coast 
Region, but all over the country. Its glossy green foliage 
all the year around together with most attractive and 
beautiful flowers in winter when no other flowers are 
found in the garden has been increasing the admirers of 
this plant. Millions of them are set out every year in 
open grounds or in conservatories and greeoi houses as 
pot plants. It will regain, without any doubt, a popularity 
stronger than it had half a century ago, even as a cut 
flower. 
BRIEF CULTURAL HINTS 
SOIL PREFERRED —Camellia grows in almost any soil 
but well drained, good garden soil, a little acid in reac¬ 
tion is more suitable. 
LOCATION DESIRABLE —Half shady location is prefer¬ 
able, especially when the plaants are young; free bloom¬ 
ing cannot be expected in a place entirely shadq. 
ROOT SYSTEM, TRANSPLANT! NG— The root system 
of the Camellia is rather coarse and not quite so easily 
transplanted as the Azalea. For this reason, we recom¬ 
mend strongly potted plants especially for lining out, 
as setback would l)e reduced to a minimum. More¬ 
over, a pot plant can be removed almost any time of 
year, while the plant from open ground has to be moved 
inwinter or .some time when it is in the dormant 
stage. 
F’LRTI LIZATION EFFECTIVE —The Camellia is a gross 
feeder; it respon<ls well to fertilization. At the time of 
planting, if the soil is not fertile enough, use a mixture 
of one-half of garden soil, one fourth of well rotted cow 
manure and one-fourth of peat or leaf mold. Everv 
winter or early spring apply well rotted cow manure; 
bone meal, or cotton seed meal, or similar commercial 
fertilizer may l)e added if necessar>^ Mulching with 
half rotten leaves or ])eat is also beneficial. 
PROPER WATERING —The Camellia loves a humid at- 
rnosphcre. Do not neglect the w'atering. Frequent sy¬ 
ringing on the leaves helps a great deal, especially at 
hot, dry summei' months. 
PRUNING RIGHT—I’roper pruning is also essential.
