CAMELLIA CULTURE 
LOCATION: Camellias grow best where they are 
partially shaded during the hottest part of the 
day. North or east side of walls, buildings or under 
trees that are not too dense. 
PLANTING: The soil for your Camellias should 
have (1) Good drainage; (2) A high humus content; 
(3) A slight acid reaction (PH 5 to 6.5). 
For small or medium sized plants, dig a hole 24 
inches across and 18 inches deep. Mix soil and Peat 
Moss in equal parts. Place part of this mixture in 
hole and tamp weil. Fill, until when plant is set in 
place, soil level on plant will be slightly higher 
than surrounding soil, then finish filling, firm and 
water well. 
WATERING: Keep your plants moist but not soggy 
wet. Water well, but only as often as necessary to 
keep soil moderately moist. It is beneficial to 
syringe the foliage frequently during the summer, 
but avoid wetting foliage when sun is bright or 
plants are in bloom. 
FERTILIZING: An acid fertilizer should be used, 
but only on established plants. Apply in early 
spring (March), but never use more than the direc- 
tions supplied with the fertilizer indicate. One 
or two more feedings may be applied at 60-day 
intervals, with only one-half as much fertilizer 
being used. Be sure soil is moist before applying 
and water thoroughly after fertilizing. 
PRUNING AND DISBUDDING: Prune only as 
much as is necessary to shape your plant. Overly 
vigorous or objectionable growth should be nipped 
before it gets out of bounds or pruned at the end 
of the flowering season. When pruning or cutting 
blooms use sharp tools and cut just above a leaf 
or growth bud. 
PEST CONTROL: Ant control greatly aids in com- 
batting Aphis and Scale. Any proven Aphis spray 
is suitable. A 2% oil spray such as Volck is best for 
scale. For leaf eating insects use a stomach poison 
such as Crylite. 
If a branch or plant suddenly withers it may be 
Fomopsis Blight which is treated by removing and 
burning all of*the diseased part and spraying with 
Bordeaux then, and again next spring. 
Flower Blight is revealed by brownish or rotting 
spots on the flowers and is most noticeable in 
damp weather. Control is by removing all old or 
damaged flowers which prevents this Fungus dis- 
ease from being carried on to damage the flowers 
the following season.
