AP ene of Southern gardens. Flowering from November through March, when most of 
our flowering plants are bare, they are a never-ending source of delight. In cool green- 
houses Camellias may be grown throughout the United States. Planted out-of-doors, they are 
thriving on the Atlantic seaboard as far north as Norfolk. The southern half of Georgia, Ala- 
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the coastal section of Texas grow them beautifully. AII ex- 
cept the extreme southern portion of Florida is well adapted to Camellias.
