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 
soil in the hole to bring the grown roots about 3 inches 
below the surface. Be sure the soil is well packed 
around the roots, and water thoroughly. 
Each spring give the plants a 2 inch mulch of well- 
chopped fresh dairy fertilizer. During the summer sea- 
son 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 Febru- 
ary. 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- 
trolled 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.
