CAMELLIA Jam 
For many years, Camellias have been one of the 
world's most honored flowers, This is as it 
be. Not alone for their great beauty of blosseam 
foliage are they noteworthy, but, as has been dine % 
covered in recent years, they are one of the hardiest f 
plants in cultivation and require only the simplest — 
culture. 
There are the appealing singles wiih their loro E. 
petals symmetrically arranged around showy yel- — 
low stamens, semi-doubles and full doubles, either - 
of the paeony or formal flat types. The color scale 
runs from the purest white through many shades of 
pink and red and an infinite number of variegations. 
There is a type for every conceivable taste and no 
garden is too humble to offer an appropriate setting 
for some of the simpler informal kinds. 
A location on the north or east side of a building 
or any semi-shady position protected from the after- 
noon sun should be selected; and do remember that 
a well drained soil is of first importance. The re- 
quired acid condition can be supplied by mixing 
Vz each of peat, well rotted leaf-mold and good 
sandy loam. Fertilize in April, June and August with 
a balanced commercial food, with a cotton-seed 
base, specially prepared for Camellias. Work it in 
lightly as the roots are near the surface. | 
Flowering of the different varieties begins in Octo-. 
ber and continues through the winter to the end of 
April. As a cut flower, the Camellia is a worthy rival 
of the orchid, and, as a decorative evergreen that 
may be depended upon for luxuriant foliage 
throughout the year, it is unsurpassed.
