CAMELLIA CULTURE 
Camellias are not hard to grow and require very 
little attention once they are properly planted. 
LOCATION— 
Most camellias can stand full sun but prefer par- 
tial shade. They will not bloom properly unless 
they get some sun. The north or west side of a 
building or other protection is a very good location. 
DRAINAGE— 
Camellias cannot stand standing water even for 
short periods of time. Unless the place where you 
expect to put your plants is well drained you should 
raise the ground or make a cinder drain. 
SOIL— 
The soil should have an acid reaction. Fortunately 
most of the soil in the Norfolk area is acid. If you 
write to Virginia Truck Experiment Station, P. O. 
Box No. 2160, Norfolk, Va. they will send you 
directions for taking soil samples. Never add acid 
to soil unless analysis shows a definite need as 
excess acid is very toxic to plants. The ideal soil 
mixture contains one part well rotted cow manure, 
two parts woods mold and one part sandy loam. 
Ordinary good garden soil will do a very fine job 
by incorporating liberal amounts of Vitamulch 
and/or peat moss.
