Peony Type Full Double 
CAMELLIA JAPONICAS 
Camellias with advanced flower buds, should 
be kept in a very cool temperature, not more 
than 50 degres. They prefer a well drained soil, 
with a slight acid reaction. Cottonseed meal, 
with acid phosphate, is good. Also rotted cow 
manure, muriate of potash, tankage and sul¬ 
phate of ammonia, all of which are acid in re¬ 
action. There are very few diseases attacking 
Camellias. Sometimes, however, the foliage is 
attacked by scale. When this occurs, spray with 
Volck, 1 -50 and be sure to spray underside of 
the leaves. Their use as cut flowers is increas¬ 
ing steadily, and due to the heavy demand, we 
ask our customers placing large orders to do so 
early before they are sold out.
