CAMELLIA JAPONICAS 

HOW TO GROW CAMELLIAS 
Camellias grow in almost any soil, but they should 
| not be planted in soil containing a great deal of 
lime, or fertilized with a mixture containing lime. 
A well drained, good garden soil, a little acid in 
| reaction is most suitable. Half shady locations are 
| preferable, especially when plants are young; free 
| blooming can not be expected in a place entirely 
| shady. They love a humid atmosphere, and water- 
| ing should not be neglected during hot dry months. 
| Frequent syringing of the leaves helps a great deal.
