A FEW CULTURAL HINTS 
1. Plant Camellias, and particularly Azaleas, in a neutral 
to fairly acid soil. Never use lime on either. The 
best way of acidifying the soil is to add aluminum 
sulphate or sulphur. 
2. Do not loosen or remove the burlap on the ball of the 
plants when planting. 
3. Mulch the surrounding ground well with peat moss, 
oak or other leaves, or wood bark. Do not use 
camphor tree leaves or pecan tree leaves. 
4. Fall is the best time for moving and _ transplanting 
Camellias and Azaleas. 
5. If signs of die-back appear, cut the dead branch back 
to where there is no brown discoloration in the woody 
part of the branch. 
6. Spray Camellias in June with Bordeaux mixture to control 
die-back (Phomopsis blight). 
7. In May spray Camellias with Nursery Volck, 1 part to 
50 parts of water, plus 1 tablespoonful of Black-Leaf 
40 to each gallon of Volck spray mixture. 
8. Fertilize Camellias and Azaleas lightly in March and 
June.
