CAMELLIAS 
The Camellia is one of the most decorative of all the ever- 
green shrubs for its foliage alone. Its graceful habit of growth 
adapts itself to many types of culture, making it one of the 
most useful plants we can use in the garden. Its season of 
bloom comes at a time when every flower is anticipated with 
pleasure. 
Because of their almost ethereal beauty, many people have 
been a little timid about trying their hand at growing Camellias. 
Or perhaps you may have tried to grow them without finding 
out just a little about their likes and dislikes. Stop being afraid 
of them. Follow the few simp!e rules outlined below and you'll 
find them as easy to grow as sunflowers. 
They may be grown in containers or out in the open ground. 
Select a partially shaded area, and if the soil is heavy, provide 
drainage for your plants by placing a generous supply of coarse 
gravel in the bottom of the hole before planting. 
While they will grow in any good, reasonably light soil, they 
will do much better if planted in a mixture of one-fourth each 
of the following: Imported peat, leafmold, top soil and sandy 
loam. 
Feed your plants regularly every 60 days during the grow- 
ing season with Bandini Acid Food, Camellia Better Gro or any 
good plant food suitable for acid loving plants. 
Keep your plants on the acid side with occasional treat- 
ment of soil sulphur, as they do best in a soil where the Ph 
is around 5.5 to 6.5. Do not feed for three weeks after apply- 
ing acid treatment. 
Keep your plants well watered at all times, but do not give 
them so much water that the soil becomes soggy. Above all, 
do not fuss over your Camellias, give them reasonable care, 
but do not kill them with kindness.
