AMERICAN GROWN 
SELECTED DOUBLE CAMELLIA STRAIN 
CULTURE 
Plant bulbs in flats in a mixture of Peat and Sand or Leaf Mold and 
Sand, all of which are good media for developing a good root system. 
Tubers should be set 3 to 4" apart and about 2‘ below the surface. 
Keep uniformly moist, but not too wet, in a warm place well lighted until 
3 or 4” of growth develops. Then plant in a permanent location or in 
pots as desired. The front of the plant is always where the tips of the 
leaves are pointing. Often if dormant tubers are planted in open 
ground, especially if it is too cold or wet, a number of them may not 
root and the planting will be uneven, with some coming earlier and 
some later, with the plant facing in haphazard ways. Started first in 
flats, they will develop a splendid root system which is necessary for 
the forming of fine specimen plants. 
Before the plants become too large and crowded in flats, transplant 
in open ground or pots, taking care not to disturb the root system too 
much. Outdoors in light soil containing a lot of humus will grow good 
Begonias. Heavy soils should have a strong application of well rotted 
manure, leaf mold or sand to lighten them. Light gravelly or sandy soils 
will benefit greatly by the application of peat, leaf mold or well rotted 
manure. If planting in pots, soil should be much lighter than that used 
outdoors; % coarse leaf mold, Ys sand or sandy loam will give excellent 
results,
