CAMELLIA CULTURE 
Camellias are one of the most popular items for corsage work, and 
rightly so for their beauty is almost unsurpassed. They make up easily, and 
are easily grown. Every establishment should have plantings of its own 
from which to cut; they are heavy producers and bloom consistently each 
year, beginning before Christmas and carrying through until March or April. 
In order that you may have the best results with our plants we make a 
practice of shipping in spring just before the buds appear. You may be sure 
of good bloom the first season and every year for a long period. When our 
plants are received they should immediately be repotted or planted in 
benches, using light soil with about half acid peat. The peat helps to main- 
tain the slightly acid condition necessary for their good health. After bloom- 
ing they may be given some heat to force growth, but should be kept as cool 
as possible and shaded throughout the summer. If they are in containers 
they may be moved outside to a cool place, and the pots plunged. When 
buds are set they should be kept in a cool house where the night temperature 
does not exceed 50 degrees. Commercial fertilizers are the best, cotton seed 
meal being one of the most commonly used.
