Landscaping with CAME LLIAS 
Camellias are prized in Northwest gardens for their habit of blooming in late winter and early spring, and their glossy 
evergreen foliage which is attractive the year around. All have lovely blooms which find many uses in corsages and flower 
arrangements. Camellias make beautiful hedge plantings and also as separations between house and service yard as 
well as lovely outlying yard planting. Camellias are also beautiful when planted along fences. By choosing early, medium, 
and late flowering varieties, camellias can be planned to give beautiful blooms from fall through spring. We will be 
happy to assist in your choice of varieties. Another interesting and new way to use these versatile plants is to train 
them in espalier form along fences and the sides of the patio. With the proper care they will become not only beautiful 
specimens but will provide superb evergreen foliage the year around.

SASANQUA CAMELLIAS _ 
Sasanquas thrive in full sun or a partially 
shaded area and may be used as hedges, 
ground cover, vines or specimens. Care 
and culture of the Sasanqua is identical 
to that of the Japonica. Its hardiness, pro- 
fusion of bloom from fall through spring 
and the dark evergreen foliage make it 
most desirable. The single forms are 
especially beautiful and ideal to train in 
espalier form. 
PLANTING AND CARE OF 
CAMELLIAS 
Select a semi-shady position protected 
from the hot sun. A spot beneath trees 
where the plants get some morning sun 
and filtered sunlight the rest of the day 
is ideal. Complete shade the entire day 
should be avoided. 
A loose, well-drained soil, containing 1% 
garden loam, 44 leaf mold and 4% thor- 
oughly moistened peat moss is ideal. 
Where leaf mold is not available add 
more peat. 
Dig a hole 12 to 18 inches wider and 3 
to 4 inches deeper than the root ball. Fill 
in bottom with a good soil mixture and 
place the top of the root ball even with 
the ground level. Soak the plant well and 
also water top and bottom. 
Apply acid fertilizer right after bloom- 
ing and in August. Apply fertilizer to 
damp soil and water in well. 
Camellias should never be cultivated 
over 1% inch deep. Mulch to keep roots 
damp and cool. 
Camellias love lots of water but the soil 
must be well drained. Sprinkle ground 
and leaves every night during the hot 
summer.
