CAMELLIAS 
Camellias will grow and prosper under widely varying 
conditions as to soil and temperatures, but it is absolutely 
essential that they have good drainage. Some of the para- 
mount factors to consider in camellia culture are as follows: 
1. Plant in well-drained acid soil. 
2. Plant in November and December to allow time for 
root growth before spring. 
3. Plants should be set in ground at same level as it 
was grown. DO NOT PLANT TOO DEEP! 
4. Water during periods of drouth the first summer 
after transplanting. 
D. Fertilize with balanced fertilizer in February and 
July each year. 
6. Keep plants free of insect pests. See spray schedule 
on page 33. 
If infestation of scale appears on camellias in cold or 
hot weather when oil application is likely to cause damage, 
en effective cleanup job can be accomplished with para- 
thion. Use 3 lbs. of 15% wettable parathion to 100 gal. of 
water. Also add recommended dosage of spreader sticker 
to solution if available. 
NOTE—Observe all precautions listed by manufacturer in 
the use of parathion.

WE CAN HELP 
Recognizing that this whole problem revolves around 
the root system of the plant, we begin there. Dry weather 
has compelled us to proceed with caution, but we have 
been going around our field camellias with shovels, prun- 
ing roots back to the area where the ball will be dug.
