branches growing too close together. General pruning 
should be done in the month of F'ebruary ; otherwise it 
may have a bad effect on the flower buds. 
Spraying Advisable—Red spider and various scales may 
attack Camellias. We have been using “Volck Jr.” at 
the ratio of 1 to 40 in the summer and 1 to 25 in winter, 
mixing one teaspoonful of Black Leaf 40 to every gallon 
of solution. Thorough spraying twice a year controls 
these pests satisfactorily. The strong sun has to be 
avoided after spraying as it may cause the leaves to burn. 
NEW CAMELLIAS 
For many years we have devoted much of our time and 
care to produce new varieties of Camellias. Our tireless 
efforts in this enterprise have been rewarded. We are proud 
to introduce to our customers this year a number of these 
unusual and very exquisite new creations. 
As our supply of these new varieties is very limited, we 
are able to offer them only to the purchasers of standard 
varieties of Camellia. Moreover, each customer is limited 
to ten of a variety. No discount of prices.
