HOW TO GROW CAMELLIAS 
Camellias do best in shade or semi-shade, in soil showing an 
acid reaction. The easiest way to provide this acidity is to pre- 
pare large planting holes, or beds, if necessary, to plant several; 
digging wider than seems necessary and at least 18 inch2s deep. 
Mix some of the best soil with equal parts of leaf mold or peat 
and sand, so that the resulting soil is light and spongy. Fill the 
holes or bed, soak to settle, and several days later, set out th2 
plants. Since alkali in the water will gradually overcome the 
acid, it is necessary to apply a dusting of gard2n soil sulphur 
once every three months, using enough to color the soil light 
yellow and follow with a thorough watering. Alum may a!so b2 
used, but is not as good to use as the sulphur. Mulches of leaf 
mold or peat are beneficial to conserve moisture and keep the 
soi! cool about the roots. Thzy need moisture, but should be 
planted so the drainage is away from the stems.
