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 beauti¬ 
ful 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 green houses as pot plants. It will 
regain without any doubt a popularity stronger than it 
possessed half a century ago even as cut flowers. 
Brief Cultural Hints 
Soil Preferred—Camellia grows in almost any soil, but well 
drained, good garden soil a little acid in reaction is more 
suitabe. 
Location Desirable—Half shady location is preferable, especi¬ 
ally when the plants are young. Free blooming cannot 
be expected in a place entirely shaded. 
Root System, Transplanting—The root system of the Camellia 
is rather coarse and not quite so easily transplanted as 
the azalea. For this reason we recommend strongly potted 
plants especially for lining out. 
Fertilization Effective—The Camellia is a gross feeder; it 
responds 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. Every winter or 
early spring apply well rotted cow manure; bone meal or 
cotton seed meal, or similar commercial fertilizer may be 
added if necessary. Mulching with half rotted leaves or 
peat is also beneficial. 
Proper Watering—The Camellia loves a humid atmosphere. 
Do not neglect the watering. Frequent syringing on the 
leaves helps a great deal during the dry summer months. 
Pruning Right—Proper pruning is also essential. Prune with 
care such as water shoots, dead or injured branches and
