Special Note 
All of our Camellias are container grown (1 gal., 3 gal., 5 gal. and 6 gal.) and will be shipped in same. 
Container grown Camellias can be shipped throughout the year. 
We propagate over 650 varieties of Camellias, many of which are not in the following list. Any information 
desired on varieties not listed will be furnished upon request. 
Prices on specimen plants will be quoted upon request. 
Notice to residents of the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South 
Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia:- All shipments of Camellias into these states will be shipped bare rooted, 
re-balled in peat moss, burlapped and wrapped with waterproof paper. We are experienced in shipping bare 
rooted Camellias and have found the above method so successful that we are giving the same guarantee we 
give our container grown Camellias. We have successfully shipped bare rooted Camellias all months of the 
year, but for best results we advise shipment from mid-September through May.

CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
Where To Plant 
Even though Camellias can and are being successfully grown in full sun, the best exposure is filtered 
shade, (trees, lath, etc.) morning, or afternoon sun. If planting a Camellia in full sun, it should be done in the 
winter months in order to allow the plant to become acclimated before summer heat. 
How To Plant 
Dig a hole at least twice as deep and twice as big around as the size of the container or ball of the 
plant. Add 1/3 peat moss or leaf mold to soil taken from hole and mix thoroughly. If soil is heavy (clay or 
adobe) use at least 50% peat moss or leaf mold. Fill the hole with sufficient amount of mixed soil so that after 
firming, the top of the plant ball will set at least one inch above the surrounding area. NEVER PLANT TOO 
DEEP. After setting plant in hole, fill with the mixed soil and pack firmly. Make a basin around the plant 
and give it a thorough watering to settle soil. Place about one inch of peat moss in basin for mulch. 
Watering 
Do not allow plants to become dry, and more important, never keep soil soggy wet. Either condition can 
cause buds to drop or loss of plant. Always bear in mind that a Camellia likes to be kept reasonably moist, 
but also requires good drainage. 
Fertilizing 
Camellias should be fertilized during the summer growing months, starting as early as March and not later 
than August. Three feedings in this period are sufficient, i.e., April, June and August. Space feedings at least 30 
days apart. Any of the better known acid fertilizers may be used; preferably cottonseed meal. For amount fol- 
low directions on package. NEVER OVER-FERTILIZE.
