These beautiful flowers are deserving of 
more attention from home gardeners. They 
require a position protected from extreme 
cold. Preferably an eastern exposure with 
afternoon shade. They will repay a generous 
application of leaf mold or peat moss mixed 
well with the soil before planting. Cotton¬ 
seed meal is an excellent fertilizer. One of 
the prime requisites in the culture of 
Camellias is to remember that absolutely 
no cultivation or stiring of the soil should 
be done at any time. Camellias are among 
the world’s most beautiful floweiing ever¬ 
greens. Varieties offered here are among the 
finest.
