CAMELLIAS, AZALEAS 
AND RHODODENDRONS 
These plants are available at the gardens and are 
usually called for personally by local customers or those 
living in western Oregon and Washington. Since these 
plants are dug with a heavy ball of earth enclosing the 
roots, shipment would be quite costly. 
In the formation of beautiful garden effects, these 
groups of plants should, as far as possible, be used to- 
gether and with a generous hand. With them may also be 
used a few other ericaceous plants such as Andromeda 
Japonica and Floribunda, Kalmia Latifolia, the different 
varieties of Heather, etc. In gardens of more scope Mag- 
nolias may also be introduced as well as other material. 
Camellias and Rhododendrons should be given ample 
space for ultimate development. As much as six to ten 
feet from each other is not too much. Then the space be- : 
tween them may be planted to Azaleas and other smaller 
growing material with charming effect. 
These plants succeed quite well under any normal 
soil condition in the Pacific Northwest in that region west 
of the Cascade Mountains, but for best results proper soil 
conditions should be attained, The ideal soil is one that is 
loose and friable with a good amount of peat or humus 
mixed in. Lime and any fertilizer containing lime should 
never be used. In the preparation of the soil, any hard 
clay should be removed and the bed or holes prepared 
deep. Preparation to a depth of twenty-four inches or 
more is not too much. 
See opposite page for Rhododendron varieties usual- 
ly in stock.
