CAMELLIA CULTURE 
The Camellia is a sour-soil plant, needing mueh 
the same soil as an azalea. 
Good garden soil, to which has been added 
liberal amounts of leaf-mold and manure, so that 
it has an acid reaction, is good Camellia soil. 
Heavy soils should be lightened by adding 
sand. Be sure the drainage is good, as Camellias 
will not grow in boggy ground. 
The Camellias, commonly called “Japonicas,” are the most valuable llower- 
ing shrubs or small trees in the gardens (jf the Lower South. For the past ten 
years we have been diligently collecting Camellias from many .sources, and now 
have a very fine collection. We are listing 50 named varieties, and have many 
more for which we have not been able to get correct names, some of which are 
very choice kinds. Our Camellias are. mostly pot-grown, vigorous plants, not 
to be compared with inferior, layered plants which usually have poor root- 
systems. The growing of quality Camellias is a specialty with us.
