CAMELLIA CULTURE.
Camellias are most conspicuous when the bushes are in vigorous condition and laden with a profusion of large, showy blossoms, as at present. The semi-doubled hollyhock flowered varieties are well worth growing. Camellia bushes require annual attention just at the new growth is starting, to judiciously thin out some of the branches. They are subject to attacks of scale insects. When the leaves present a black sooty appearance this invariably.nlcnotes the presence of scale. When in this condition, liberally prune and thoroughly syringe with kerosene emulsion or red oil immediately atter the flowering season.
