PLANTING— 
Having prepared your soil the plant should be 
placed in the hole at once. This hole should be at 
least twice as wide as the ball and the top of the 
ball should be one inch higher than the surround- 
ing ground. Do not remove the burlap bag. Fill the 
hole with good soil packing well around ball and 
water thoroughly. 
If loose soil is placed in hole under camellia such 
soil should be well packed and ball set even higher 
than usual to allow for settling.

MULCH— 
Always mulch camellias, whether in sun or shade. 
Use pine straw, oak leaves, peanut hulls or peat 
moss. Our choice for local conditions being pine 
straw. 
WATERING— 
Plants should be watered thoroughly at least twice 
a week during dry spells during the first two years 
after planting and they appreciate a daily spraying 
during hot spells. 
FERTILIZING— 
Feed plants sparingly after they bloom in the 
spring, generally about March first. Never feed 
after June. Use cotton seed meal or a special camel- 
lia food. 
SPRAYING— 
Is best done after blooming but before new growth 
starts in the spring, and again in September. A 
good spray is Florida Volck and Black Leaf 40. 
This will take care of most of the pests that may 
bother your plants. Do not spray when the temper- 
ature is liable to go above 85° F. or below 45° F.
