Camellia Reticulata 
A species Camellia from China and quite different from the others 
listed which are chiefly hybrids of Camellia japonica. The foliage is 
dull green although quite deep in tone, narrow and pointed. But, the 
crowning glory of this plant which has every Camellia fancier raving 
is the blooms of huge proportions. The wavy petals of silky texture 
are a rosy-red with purplish cast. Average size of flowers is 6-inches 
which by careful disbudding may reach 8 inches. Grafted plants. 5-gal. 
$27.50 each.

HOW TO GROW 
CAMELLIAS 
Camellias do best in shade or semi- 
shade, in soil showing an acid reaction. 
The easiest way to provide this acidity is 
to prepare large planting holes, or beds, 
if necessary, to plant several; digging

sand, so that the resulting soil is light end 
spongy. Fill the holes or bed, soak to 
settle, and several days later, set out the 
plants. Since alkali in the water will grad- 
ually overcome the acid, it is necessary 
to apply a dusting of garden sulphur once 
every three months, using enough to color 
the soil light yellow and follow with a 
thorough watering. Alum may also be 
used, but is not as good to use as the sul- 
phur. Mulches of leaf mold or peat are 
beneficial to conserve moisture and keep 
the soil cool about the roots. They need 
moisture, but should be planted so the 
drainage is away from the stems.

Growing Fuchsias is easy to accomplish. Careful preparation of the 
soil with generous amounts of leaf mold or peat moss at the time 
of planting followed by a mulch of the same material to retain the 
moist atmosphere about the plants. Inland, away from the coast, 
they prefer shade. Plants should never be allowed to dry out, especially
