THE FIRST CARE OF 
CAMELLIA JAPONICAS AND SASANQUAS 
Do not remove the burlap around tthe ball. Do 
not mound dirt up around the plant after planting 
to get drainage. But the plant should be planted 
on bed higher than regular area. Do not cultivate 
Camellias or Azaleas. Camellias and Azaleas have 
to be well drained, they cannot stand wet feet. It 
is best to plant in good well drained soil, some- 
thing like rich garden soil, or soil made up of leaf 
mold, peat humus, peat moss, pond muck, or first 
two or three inches of top soil from under oak 
trees is the best. But do not place this under the 
ball, instead it should be worked around the plant 
mixed well with the soil. After this has been com- 
pleted you can sprinkle liberal supply of barn yard 
or cow lot well rotted manure on the surface to be 
watered in. Give this two or three soakings to re- 
establish the plant, see that all air pockets are fill- 
ed, then is time for your mulch. It is important to 
see that the plant has not settled too much as the 
crown roots have to be near the surface. When 
watering wet the ground thorough. Wait several 
days or a week and water again. The water has 
to soak through to draw air through the root sys- 
tem, which is important. Keep well mulched at 
all times. Oak leaves is one of the best as it has 
fertilizer value as well as the mulch. Pine straw, 
cane pummings. grass trimmings, this keeps the 
ground porus and cool, besides conserving moisture. 
Camellias do better if planted in partial shade. 
Many are planting pines for this purpose. How- 
ever, the deep colors can stand the sun if the plants 
are well mulched. 
If the plants should need fertilizer, a mixture 
of cotton seed, meal and super prosphate two parts 
of cotton, seed meal to one of super phosphate well 
mixed, use sparingly two or three times a year,not 
later than July.
