CAMELLIAS 
To you who live in the northern section of the 
U.S.A. You can have Camellias, too. They are 
easy to grow, just the same as other house plants, 
it takes time and care just the same as you give 
your other plants. 
Keep plants well watered but not sloppy. If 
leaves on the plants turn yellow, try using rain 
water, and giving each pot plant three tablespoon- 
fuls of sulphur. Sulphur makes the soil acid. Cam- 
ellias with buds do not like to be in a room that 
is too hot, keep them where it will be about 45 to 
50. 
Here in the south we must not plant Camellias 
too deep, we always here at the nursery plant 
them one inch higher than they were grown in the 
nursery row. 
Always pick a balled and burlapped camellia 
up by the ball of soil, never the stem. 
We plant on firm ground, and have the hole 
dug larger than the camellia ball, so that we can 
put plenty of good soil mixed with peat-moss 
around the plant, never under, as placing soft soil 
under a balled plant will let it settle later on and 
your plants will be planted too deep. 
We leave the burlap on our camellias when we 
plant them. 
Always water well when planting and during 
all dry weather the first year. 
Camellias with scale or red-spider should be 
sprayed with Volck; using it at the rate of one to 
seventy-five. 
We fertilize our plants early in the spring, 
Feb.-March, and a light applicatioy: in the fall.
