SIMPLE HINTS INSURING SUCCESS WITH 
CAMELLIAS 
When planting camellias select a well-drained 
semi-shaded place—complete shade is not advised. 
The hole for the plant should be double the width 
of the ball and at least 2 inches deeper. 
The soil should be enriched by the addition of 
well-decayed dairy fertilizer. Put enough of this pre- 
pared soil in the hole to bring the grown roots 
about 3 inches below the surface. Be sure the soil 
is well packed around the roots, and water thor- 
oughly. 
Each spring give the plants a 2-inch mulch of 
well-chopped fresh dairy fertilizer. During the sum- 
mer season plants should be mulched with oak 
leaves. Keep the soil moist but not saturated— 
camellias do not like “Wet feet.’’ General pruning 
must be done in February. Cut out all closely grown 
and dead branches. 
Camellias may be attacked by red spider, which 
causes the foilage to brown. The pest may be con- 
trolled by spraying with ‘Volk, Jr.’’ or Bordeaux 
Mixture—either will give good results. Spray on 
cloudy days, as bright sun will cause the leaves to 
burn. 
GRAFTED CAMELLIAS 
We are offering this year the following varieties 
of grafted camellias on 10 to 12 year old under- 
stock. This understock is vigorous and has not 
been transplanted or brought in from other sources.
