Camellias 
Camellias, Group 2 
Rosita. One of the strongest growers. A very 
double, rose-pink flower with petals arranged 
in symmetrical rosette form. This is a very 
popular variety on the Pacific Coast, and is 
now being more largely planted in the South¬ 
east. You’ll like it. 
Hallifolia. A clear light red semi-double flower, 
with golden-anthered stamens showing in 
center. Hallifolia is an early and very profuse 
bloomer with large, showy flowers, and blooms 
over a long period. A fine lawn specimen, and 
especially resistant to cold injury of buds. 
Sarah Frost. A vigorous grower with full double 
flowers having petals diminishing in size to 
the center. Blooms outdoors in January and 
February. Flowers 3 to 33^ inches across and 
a clear rose-pink in color. 
Due de Bretagne. Single, brick-red, medium- 
size flowers borne profusely. This is the fast¬ 
est-growing variety we know of, and while the 
individual flowers are not so fine, as a land¬ 
scape plant seen from a little distance it 
stands out as a fine splash of color in the 
winter landscape. 
Henri Favre. One of the smaller-flowered varie¬ 
gated types. Background color is red, penciled 
with white stripes lengthwise of the petals. A 
vigorous grower of compact form. Free flow¬ 
ering habit. 
Noblissima. Double peony form in a solid 
white flower. The golden-anthered stamens 
are seen between the petals. Blooms in mid¬ 
winter starting in December and continuing 
through February.

Camellia Culture 
Camellias can be planted in full sun, if they are shaded for the first two summers until they get 
thoroughly established. Partial shade, about half a day of sun and half of shade, makes the really 
ideal location for them, however. It is not best to plant them in full shade, as they will not flower as 
freely in too shady a spot. 
Like the Azaleas, Camellias are very partial to woods earth, well-rotted leaves, or peat moss. 
To insure best results in planting Camellias, dig the holes eonsiderably larger than the ball of earth 
on the plant, and use one-fourth rotted leaves, one-fourth well-rotted cow-manure, and one-half 
garden soil. This should be very thoroughly mixed, and then used in filling in around the ball of 
earth. Keep a leaf-mulch 2 to 3 inches deep around the Camellias and give them plenty of water 
during the hot months, and during the flowering season. A fertilizer of half bone meal and half 
cotton-seed meal is excellent as a yearly application in the spring.
