CARE OF CAMELLIAS: 
When planting a camellia, be sure that the hole is dug 
much larger than the ball of earth encasing the roots. 
Fill the hole with a loose top soil rich in humus and 
fertilizer, and work in well. Take out sufficient soil 
to make room for the plant, then set plant two inches 
higher than ground level. Firm earth as it is filled into 
the hole, and water thoroughly. 
Camellias should be fertilized twice a year—in March 
and June. Scarify the ground to the depth of one inch 
from the base of the plant to the outside tips of twigs. 
Sprinkle the loose earth liberally with an acid fertilizer. 
A good mixture is: 
6 parts Cottonseed Meal 
4 parts Phosphoric Acid 
3 parts Sulphate of Potash 
(I use VIGORO), then cover with a two inch mulch 
of any loose material. 
Camellias will die if the stalk is covered with more 
than two inches of earth. Camellias will die, if the 
roots remain soaking in wet earth for any considerable 
time. They will not tolerate ‘‘wet feet’. 
A few varieties of camellias have so many petals in 
each bud, that the blossoms do not open satisfactorily. 
This is a varietal fault. 
Where camellias growing in the open are subject to 
heavy freezing while in bud, if the bud is frozen through 
it will turn brown and fall off. This bud-shedding can 
be avoided by covering the plants during freezes with 
a couple of thicknesses of heavy cotton or other fabric, 
which should be removed as soon as the air is above the 
freezing point. 
Camellias are hosts for a number of varieties of scale 
insects which, if not controlled, will kill the plant. Three 
sprayings ten days apart with any good oil emulsion will 
kill any scale. I use VOLCK. 
A fungus disease attacks the inner layer of bark, and 
sometimes causes limbs or twigs to die back. The only 
cure is the cutting off of the affected part as soon as 
it begins to wither. Be sure to make the cut some dis- 
tance below the part affected. 
Camellias often develop brown spots on the leaves of 
perfectly healthy plants. These spots may be from 
either ‘sunburn or from a fungus growth. Neither are 
dangerous, and should cause no worry.
