~CAMELLIAS 
Camellias are comparatively easy to grow but a few sug- 
gestions may prove helpful. 
1. If your soil is not naturally acid it should be made so by 
application of acid fertilizer. Applications should be 
made during early spring months or late fall. 
2. Water amply during summer and provide sufficient 
drainage during winter to prevent bud dropping. 
3. Pick all the blooms you desire but do not cut long 
stems since Camellias are slow growing. 
Chandleri elegans. Most popular of the peony-flowered 
camellias. Soft rose with a center of tightly curled pet- 
als. Flowers are variously marked with white, making 
a soft and interesting contrast on the large flowers.
