CAMELLIAS 
The most beautiful of all the broadleaved evergreen blooming plants. Longlived 
and more beautiful and valuable with age. Selected varieties offer a long season 
of bloom, In our climate 1n Portland they bloom from January to May. In mild win- 
ters they start in October. 
The Camellia’s popularity is growing every year. Many new introductions have 
been introduced to the flower world the last few years to keep the collectors of 
this lovely shrub interested and busy. 
Even amateur gardeners can grow Camellias as they are not difficult to grow.

Camellias are less subject to disease and insects than most shrubs. If scale 
or aphids attack the leaves this canbe easilyremedied by spraying tops of leaves 
and under leaves with Volck, using 1 part Volck to 50 parts water. Always keep 
weevil bait in your garden as the weevil is an enemy to almost all flowers and 
shrubs, 
Plant Camellias in your yard and enjoy the beauty of the most beautiful ever- 
green shrub. Cut blooms from your own bushes of lovely, long lasting corsages 
and also for glamorous table decorations. 
Camellias used for hedges are beautiful as well as practical. They save time 
and money due to the very small amount of pruning needed to keep them in shape. 
The habit of their growth determines the best variety to use. There are varieties 
suitable for the tall narrow hedge, for the wide short hedge, etc.We will be hap- 
py to help you make selections for best results.

CAMELLIAS AS HOUSE PLANTS 
Camellias will thrive and flourish if a cool room which is well lighted by win- 
dows can be provided for them, such as a glass enclosed porch, sun porch, or 
the like. Temperatures should not exceed 55 degrees F or fall below 35 degrees 
F during the winter months. To maintain a high humidity in the room keep jars of 
water around. Soil, one part good garden soil to one part peat moss. Fertilizer, 
1 tablespoon Vigoro to 1 quart water. Use application in December, a second in 
February when new growth is beginning and another in April for new growth and 
bud development. Water: keep moist at all times. Foliage and buds should be 
sprayed with water at least 4 or 5 times a week, except when in flower. During 
the summer months plants are placed outdoors in semi-shaded areas. Bury pots 
in ground so the roots do not dry out. The proper time to repot Camellias, should 
it become necessary is immediately after flowering. Always allow a good drain- 
age with sand in the bottom of the pot. Grown in this manner Camellias are lovely 
house plants. Azaleas and Rhododendrons can also be grown in this same way. 
Below is a list of the 11 best varieties of Camellias to grow in pots. This 
list is, of course, for the beginner who has never tried raising Camellias in this 
manner.
