PLANTING Do not lift a burlapped Camellia by the trunk. 
Pick it up by the burlapped ball. Do not 
plant deep. Do not loosen or remove the bur¬ 
lap. After plant is in place pack soil firmly 
around ball. Water well at time of transplant¬ 
ing. Plant on well drained soil as they will 
not stand water-logged soil. 
IN FREEZING Have your plants wet at the roots before a 
WEATHER freeze. Covering with blankets, etc., usually 
does more harm than good. We do not cover 
our plants at all. 
FLOWERING Camellias require much more water during 
PERIOD flower development than at any other time. 
Lack of water will result in small, poorly devel¬ 
oped bloom, and often retards the opening of 
bloom as much as four to six weeks when plants 
are kept dry. 
GREENHOUSE Camellias must be kept cool while bringing them 
CULTURE into bloom—a maximum of 45 d. F. at night. 
Lower temperatures are better. They will 
stand as low as 28 to 80 d. F. without injury. 
Shading on the grass will result in finer bloom. 
Keep them well watered during flowering sea¬ 
son. If in tubs fertilize on top soil with fresh 
Dairy manure. In summer the plants can be 
moved outside until Fall.
