Camellias + + + 
We are offering for the first time both the Camellia Sasanqua and 
the Camellia Japonica. After trying these two types of Camellias for the 
past four years in our display grounds, we have found all the varieties 
listed below to be fairly hardy in this vicinity. 
Camellias are not difficult to grow, however, they do best in a good 
well-drained soil that has a slight acid reaction. Good garden soil is suit- 
able but it can be made better by adding leafmold or peatmoss. In heavy 
stiff soils a small quantity of sand is also beneficial. 
In most soils, especially on clay lands, cottonseed meal alone is an 
excellent fertilizer. Other good fertilizing materials which are likewise 
acid in their reaction are well-rotted cow manure, sulfate of ammonia, 
and muriate of potash. If these materials are not available, we suggest 
a mixture of Y2 good garden soil, 1% well-rotted cow manure, 4 peatmoss 
or leafmold, well mixed. 
The Camellia is less subject to disease and insect enemies than most 
other evergreen shrubs, but sometimes their foliage is attacked by scales. 
When this occurs they should be sprayed with a good miscible oil prepa- 
ration at the rate of one part to 50 parts water. 
The Camellia is one of the handsomest of all broadleaf evergreens 
and we feel is to be one of the outstanding plants for the gardens in this 
vicinity. Make this a ‘“must’’ for your garden. Following are the varieties 
and sizes that we have in stock and ready for sale this spring.
