Camellia sAPONICA . 
FT ‘RULY typical of the glories of the Old South, 
Camellias are again taking their place as the aristo- 
crats of Southern gardens. Flowering from Novem- 
ber 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 through- 
out the United States. Planted out-of-doors, they are 
thriving on the Atlantic seaboard as far north as Norfolk. 
The southern half of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, 
Louisiana, and the coastal section of Texas grow them 
beautifully. All except the extreme southern portion of 
Florida is well adapted to Camellias. 
Rare and Unusual Camellias 

Imura. Among the most satisfactory of 
the semi-double whites. 
The requirements of Camellias are few. They are 
succeeding equally well in the stiff clays of 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 important that Camellias be partially shaded the 
first year or two until they become well established. 
After this length of time, they will stand partial shade 
or even full sun. (G) indicates grafted plants.
