CAMELLIAS (BE) 
Camellias are recognized as outstanding, not alone for their 
great beauty of blossom and foliage, but for their hardiness and 
simplicity of culture. The exquisite flowers are. most welcome, 
coming as they do in early spring, and some varieties even bloom- 
ing in late fall and winter. Attractive glossy foliage provides a 
charming background for the colorful blooms. Camellias are sturdy 
growers in our favored climate and are such a desirable addition 
to the garden that they truly deserve their popularity as garden 
favorites. 
There are the appealing singles with their large petals sym- 
metrically arranged around showy, yellow stamens, semi-doubles, 
and full doubles of the peony or formal type. The color scale 
ranges from the purest white through many shades of pink and 
red and an infinite number of variegations. As a cut flower the 
Camellia is a worthy rival of the orchid and is frequently used 
in the finest corsage work. We offer only varieties of proven merit 
here in the Northwest. 
Remember that good drainage is of first importance. The 
required acid condition can be supplied by mixing one-third each 
of peat, well rotted leaf mold and good sandy loam. Fertilize 
Camellias and apply top dressing immediately after blooming. 
Watering should be done thoroughly as soon as dry weather be- 
gins to produce strong new growth. From late summer on, little 
watering should be done, in order to ripen growth before fall and 
set the bloom buds. 
From early November through April, the numerous varieties offer 
a continuous and ever changing pageant of blossoms.
