CAMELLIA CULTURE 
Camellias are ornamental 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. 
Camellias are easy to grow in a shady, sheltered location, 
an acid soi! with good drainage to 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 ferti- 
lizer during dormant season when the flowers appear. Hardy 
to 10 degrees. Ask for special camellia and azalea plant food.
