RETICULATA 
C. amelliads 
Ornamental evergreen shrubs of exquisite beauty and highly 
prized for their flowers during the winter months. After 
blossoming the dark green glossy foliage and dense habit of 
growth make an attractive appearance in the garden. Many 
varieties listed here are much sought after for their scarcity 
is well known. 
Camellias are easy to grow in a shady, sheltered location, an 
acid soil with good drainage in which generous quantities 
of leaf mold or peat have been added. They require generous 
amounts of water during the growing season but this should 
never become stagnant for lack of drainage. Withhold fertil- 
izer after the flower buds have set. All are hardy in Southern 
California.
