CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
RULY typical of the glories of the Old South, Camellias are again taking their place as the 
aristocrat of Southern gardens. Flowering from November through March, when most of 
our flowering plants are bare, they are a never-ending source of delight. In cool greenhouses 
the Camellia may be grown throughout the United States. Planted out-of-doors, they are 
thriving on the Atlantic seaboard as far north as Norfolk. The southern half of Georgia, Ala- 
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the coastal section of Texas grow them beautifully. All except 
the extreme southern portion of Florida is well adapted to Camellias. 
The requirements of Camellias are few. They are succeeding equally well in the stiff clays o! 
middle Georgia and the lighter sands of Florida. Fertilize liberally with well-rotted cow-manure 
if it is available; if not, any good grade of commercial fertilizer will be satisfactory, being careful 
that the fertilizer does not come in direct contact with the roots. In transplanting, it is im- 
portant that Camellias be partially shaded the first year or two until they become well estab- 
lished. After this time, they will stand either partial shade or full sun.
