In plating camellias it is absolutely neces- 
sary to avoid planting them too deep. The 
importance of this cannot be stressed too 
much. If the stem is one inch deeper than 
it was formerly grown, the growth of the 
plant will be greatly retarded, and if it is 
planted several inches deeper the plant will 
die. In setting the plant in its new position, 
the ball should be level with the ground. 
In the past few years many growers in 
sections where camellias will not survive 
planted outside have become aware of the 
value of growing camellias in their green- 
houses as a source of cut flowers for cor- 
sages, etc. These plants increase in value 
from year to year as they grow larger and 
cover more profusely with blooms. We think 
all growers would find it profitable to stock 
a part of their houses with the varieties of 
camellias that adapt themselves best to 
greenhouse culture, and make the nicest cut 
flowers, as the demand for them is growing 
each year. We have one greenhouse com- 
pletely stocked with camellias, and have 
been growing them in our greenhouses ever 
since Flowerwood Nursery was established. 
It is not a difficult matter to grow them in 
the greenhouse, and if you should be inter- 
ested in planting some camellias in your 
greenhouses, either directly in the ground, 
or growing them in pots or tubs, where they 
can be moved out in the summer, we shall 
be very glad to advise you of the varieties 
that we believe are best suited for this pur- 
pose, and also to give you whatever advice 
we can from our experience in growing these 
plants in the greenhouse.
