FUER TOR 05 
_ The Camellia is less subject to disease and insect 
enemies than most other evergreen shrubs, but some- 
times the foliage is attacked by scales. When this 
occurs, they should be sprayed with a miscible oil 
preparation and care should be taken to thoroughly 
wet the underside of the leaves as well as the top. 
Volk, used in the proportion of 1 part to 50 parts 
of water, has proven very effective. 
Camellias with advanced flower-buds should be 
kept in a very cool house. Mum, carnation, begonia 
and cyclamen houses are suitable, with a temperature 
of not much more than 50 degrees. Camellias are 
winter-blooming plants and may shed their buds in 
very warm houses. 
Camellia Japonicas are being used more and more 
as cut flowers by florists. Due to the heavy and in- 
creasing demand, we ask that our customers placing 
large orders specify the varieties wanted before they 
are sold out. We do not substitute unless requested 
to do so.
