Simple Hints Insuring Success 
with Camellias 
When planting camellias select a _ well-drained 
semi-shaded place—complete shade is not advised. 
The hole for the plant should be double the width 
of the ball, and at least 2 inches deeper. 
The soil should be enriched by the addition of 
well-decayed dairy fertilizer, Put enough of this 
prepared soii in the hole to bring the grown roots 
about 8 inches below the surface. Be sure the soil 
is well packed around tne roots, and water thorough. 
ly. 
Each spring give the plants a 2-inch mulch of 
well-chopped fresh dairy fertilizer. During the sum- 
mer season plants should be mulched with oak leaves. 
Keep the soil moist but not saturated—camellias do 
not like “Wet feet”. General pruning must be done 
in February. Cut out all closely grown and dead 
branches. 
Camellias may be attacked by red spider, which 
causes the foliage to brown. The pest may be con- 
trclled by spraying with ‘Volk Jr.” or with Bordeaux 
Mixture—either will give good results. Spray on 
cloudy days, as bright sun will cause the leaves to 
burn.
