CAMELLIAS ARE EASY TO GROW 
in a shady, sheltered location, in acid soil with good drainage in which gen- 
erous quantities of leaf mold or peat moss have been added. They require 
generous amounts of water during the growing season but this should never 
become stagnant for lack of drainage. Withhold fertilizer after the flower 
buds have set. All are hardy in Southern California. SASANQUA CAMELLIAS 
are different from Came!!ia japonica mainly in their willowy spreading growth, 
smaller, earlier flowers, tolerance to sun. Particularly adaptable to training 
on walls, trailing over rocks or ground covering.
