CAMELLIAS 
To you who live in the northern section of 
the U.S.A. You can have Camellias, too. They are 
easy to grow, just the same as other house plants, 
it takes time and care just the same as you give 
your other plants. 
Keep plants well watered but not sloppy, if 
leaves on the plants turn yellow, try using rain 
water, and giving each pot plant three tablespoon- 
fuls of sulphur. Sulphur makes the soil acid. Cam- 
ellias with buds do not like to be in a room that 
is too hot, keep them where it will be about 45 
to 50. 
Here in the south we must not plant Camellias 
too deep, we always here at the nursery plant 
them one inch higher than they were grown in 
the nursery row. 
Always pick a balled and burlapped camellia 
up by the ball of soil, never by the stem. 
_ We plant on firm ground, and have the hole 
cug larger than the camellia ball, so that we can 
put plenty of good soil mixed with peat-moss 
around the plant, never under, as placing soft 
soil under a balled plant will let it settle later on 
and your plants will be planted too deep. 
We leave the burlap on our camellias when 
we plant them. 
Always water well when planting and during 
all dry weather the first year. 
Camellias with scale or red-spider should be 
sprayed with Volck; using it at the rate of one 
to seventy-five. 
We fertilize our plants early in the spring, 
Feb.-March, and a light application in the fall. 
If there is any information that we can help 
you with your plants, write, we are always glad 
to help.
