How to Plant 
CAMELLIAS 
SELECT A SEMI-SHADY 
position protected from the 
hot sun. A spot beneath trees 
where the plants get 
morning sun and filtered sun- 
light the rest of the day is 
ideal. Complete shade the 
entire day should be avoided. 
A loose, well-drained soil, 
containing 1/3 garden loam, 
1/3 leaf mold (oak if pos 
sible) and 1/3 thoroughly 
moistened peat moss is ideal. 
Where leaf mold is not avail- 
able add more peat. 
Dig a hole 12 to 18 inches 
wider and 3 to 4 inches deep- 
er than the root ball. Fill in 
bottom with a good soil mix- 
ture and place the top of the 
root ball even with the ground 
level. Soak the plant well and 
also water top and bottom. 
Apply acid fertilizer right 
after blooming and in August. 
Apply fertilizér to damp soil 
and water in well. 
Camellias should never be 
cultivated over % inch deep. 
Mulch to keep damp 
and cool. 
Camellias love lots of water 
but the soil must be 
drained. Sprinkle ground and 
leaves every night during the 
hot summer.
