Camellias are outstanding, not alone for their great beauty of blossom 
and foliage, but for their hardiness and simplicity of culture. The exquisite 
flowers are most welcome, coming as they do in early spring, and some varie- 
ties even blooming in late fall and winter. Attractive glossy foliage provides a 
charming background for the colorful blooms. Many plants of Camellias may 
be used even in smaller gardens as each variety has a different character and 
different growth habit. The upright varieties are more colorful and interesting 
than conifers as garden accent plants and do not overgrow their position as 
conifers often do when they are depended on for vertical accent foliage. 
Camellias are sturdy growers here in western Washington and Oregon, being 
both insect and disease resistant, and are such a desirable addition to the gar- 
den that they truly deserve their popularity. 
There are the appealing singles with their large petals symmetrically 
arranged around showy, yellow stamens, semi-doubles, and full doubles of the 
peony or formal type. The color scale ranges from the purest white through 
many shades of pink and red and an infinite number of variegations. As a cut 
flower the Camellia is a worthy rival of the orchid and is frequently used in 
the finest corsage work. We offer only varieties of proven merit here in the 
Northwest. 
Remember that good drainage is of first importance. The required 
acid condition can be supplied by using any good garden soil or by mixing one- 
third each of peat, well rotted leaf mold and good sandy loam. Fertilize with 
Malmo Camellia Fertilizer in early spring, immediately after blooming and 
again in early summer. Watering should be done thoroughly as soon as dry 
weather begins. From late summer on, less watering should be done, in order 
to ripen growth before fall and set the bloom buds for the following winter and 
spring display. 
From early November through April, the numerous varieties offer a 
continuous and ever changing pageant of blossoms. Period of bloom is indica- 
ted as follows: E— early; M— midseason; L-— late. These are at least 2- 
year plants. We can supply many varieties in 1-year-old plants from pots at 
lower prices.
