| Camellias are not difficult to grow. Many fine 
old specimen plants are to be found scattered through- 
| out the Lower South, where they have been growing 
| for years with but little care, and thriving on practi- 
cally all types of land characteristic to the region. 
However, they prefer and do best on a good, well- 
drained soil that has a slight acid reaction. Good 
| garden soil is suitable, but it can be made better 
| by adding leaf mold and peat moss. In heavy, stiff 
| soils a small quantity of sand is also beneficial. Half 
shady location is preferable.
