4 AZALEA GLEN NURSERIES 
CAMELLIAS 
To you who live in the northern section of the 
U.S.A. You can have Camellias too. They are easy 
to grow, just the same as other house plants, it 
takes time and care just the same as you give 
your other plants. 
Keep plants well watered but not sloppy, if 
leaves on the plants turn yellow, try using rain 
water, and giving each pot plant three table- 
spoonsfull of sulphur. Sulphur makes the soil 
acid. Camellias with buds do not like to be in a 
room that is too hot, keep them where it will be 
about 45 to 50. 
Here in the south we must not plant camellias 
too deep, we always here at the nursery plant 
them one inch higher than they were grown in the 
nursery row. 
Always pick a balled and burlaped camellia up 
by the ball of soil, never by the stem. 
We plant on firm ground, and have the hole 
dug larger then the camellia ball, so that we can 
put plenty of good soil mixed with peat-moss 
around the plant, never under, as placing soft soil 
under a balled plant will let it settle later on and 
your plants wil be planted too deep. 
We leave the burlap on our camellias when 
we plant them. 
Always water well when planting and during 
all dry weather the first year. 
Camellias with scale or red-spider should be 
sprayed with Volck; Using it at the rate of One 
to seventy-five. 
We fertilize our plants early in the spring, 
in June and a light application in the fall. 
If there is any information that we can help 
you with your Pants; write, we are always glad 
to help. aes
