Camellias are easy to grow in a shady, sheltered location, and in an acid soil with good 
drainage in which generous supplies of leaf mold or peat moss have been added. They 
require plenty of water during the growing season, but should never be stagnant. They re- 
quire good drainage. Do not fertilize or water during the dormant season when the flowers 
appear. Camellias need no cultivation, as they root shallowly. Keep a mulch of peat moss 
around the plant to keep the roots cool and soil soft. 
You will find our varieties at lower prices than many other places, and when one con- 
siders the beauty, not only now, but for many, many years to come, any fair price dwindles 
to a few cents. Our stock is of the finest, and the Select quality is always maintained. 
Prices listed below are dependent on size of plant, and as we stock many varieties of different sizes, the prices 
may vary slightly lower or higher. The list, however will show that our fine quality Camellias are very economi- 
cal.
