CAMELLIAJAPONICA 
Some varieties hardy to Pennsylvania. 
The plants listed below are from two to five years old 
and are all grown in containers from quart cans up to 
five gallons. They are in a very porous soil mixture that 
is fairly light and makes a fine fibrous root system. 
The fact that you get the ENTIRE root system makes 
these plants transplant better than balled plants of com- 
parable size. If you wish to remove the can it will help 
to run the long blade of a kitchen knife around the in- 
side first and then shake out. 
For greenhouse culture these plants are ideal and may 
be grown in the same container for a year or two in 
most beer’ Shift when the cans show signs of rusting out 
on sides. 
Fertilizing with Rapid Gro is reeommended as directed 
on container. Use once a week in summer and once a 
month in winter. 
In repotting never crowd the roots but on the other 
hand never overpot as too large a container will retard 
growth the first year. Clay pots do not seem to be as 
good as NON porous containers. 
The best soil mixture for Camellias is two parts peat, 
two parts sandy loam and one part coarse sand. The 
use of a little cotton seed meal in this mixture is good 
but other fertilizer at this time is discouraged. Water 
well with Rapid Gro and hold in shade for a couple of 
weeks. Animal manures may be used as a mulch for 
vigor and larger flowers. 
PRICES 
Some confusion in prices as listed will be avoided if 
one will remember that plants do not all grow alike and 
that Camellias are slow growing plants to start with. 
Prices vary according to size of the plants and also ac- 
cording to the variety. 
At all times we will try to grade liberally and will 
strive to see that every shipment will give the buyer a 
lift when he receives it. 
Sizes from 12” to 30” means that we have plants 
varying from those two extremes and priced from the 
lowest price given to the highest price given, with prices 
in between in almost all cases. Order the size that best 
suits you and we will do the best we can to match that 
size. 
ALLOWING OPTIONALS 
Many customers add the names of one or two second 
choices and often it pays off in that we have better 
values in the second choice or may be out of the first 
variety in all sizes near size ordered. You may depend 
on us to give GOOD VALUE. 
GREENHOUSE CULTURE 
This is a very simple procedure indeed. Soil mix has 
been described in detail. Fertilizing has been covered 
and the main thing to AVOID is overwatering. Keep on 
dry side rather than the wet and with a very little ex-
