CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
The most charming of all flowering evergreen shrubs, 
blooming from the first of October through March. 
Camellias are not difficult to grow. Many fine old 
specimen plants are to be found scattered throughout the 
Lower South, where they have been growing for years 
with but little care, and thriving on practically all types 
of Iand characteristic to the region. However, they prefer 
and do best on a good, well-drained soil that has a slight 
acid reaction. Good garden soil is suitable, but it can be 
made better by adding leaf mold and peat moss. In 
heavy, stiff soils a small quantity of sand ts also beneficial. 
In most soils, especially on clay Iands, cottonseed meal 
alone, or a mixture composed of 24 cottonseed meal and 
lg acid phosphate, is an excellent fertilizer. Other good 
fertilizing materials, which are likewise acid in their re- 
action, are well-rotted cow manure, tankage, castor pom- 
ace, sulphate of ammonia and muriate of potash. 
The Camellia is less subject to disease and insect enemies 
than most other evergreen shrubs, but sometimes the 
foliage is attacked by scales. When this occurs, they 
should be sprayed with a miscible oil preparation and 
care taken to wet the underside of the leaves thoroughly 
as well as the top. Volck used at the rate of 1 part to 
50 parts of water ts effective. 
The Camellia is the handsomest of all the broad-leaved 
evergreen blooming plants for southern gardens. It is 
long-lived and its beauty and monetary value increases 
rapidly as the plants grow older. The many new and fine 
varieties of recent introduction have added enormously 
to its popularity, and its use as a high-class cut flower 
has opened up a much broader field for its distribution.
