CAMELLIA CULTURE 
Camellias can be successfully grown in full sun. The best growing 
condition, however, is filtered shade, morning or afternoon sun. 
For full sun locations plant during winter months so the plant can 
become acclimated before the summer hzat. To plant the shrub, dig a { 
hole at least twice as deep and twice as big around as the size of the § 
container. Add 3 pzat moss or leaf mold and mix thoroughly with 
soil from the hole. For hzavy soil use at least 50% peat moss or leaf 
mold. Do not plant too deep but fill the hole with enough of the 
mixed soil so that after firming, the top of the plant ball will sit 
at least one inch above the surrounding soil level. When plant is 
set in the hole, fill in with the mixed soil and pack firmly, but leave 
a basin around the plant and give it a thorough watering. Then 
place about one inch of peat moss in the basin for mulch. 
CAMELLIA, MATHOTIANA (JULIA DRAYTON) 
Camellia plants should not be allowed to become dry but neither 
should they be kept soggy wet. Drop of buds or even loss of the 
plant may be2 the result. Good drainage and reasonable moistness 
should be the rule. 
During the growing months, March to August, three applications of 
acid fertilizer, spaced about 30 days apart, are recommended. But 
beware of over-fertilizing which could do more harm than good.
