WEEKLY QUOTATION: The
man who is anybody and who does
anything is surely going to be
criticized, vilified, and misunder-
stood. This is a part of the penalty
of greatness, and every man under
stands it; and understands, too,
that it is no proof of greatness.
The final proof of greatness lies
in being able to endure continually
without resentment. Ebert Hub

tical uses of electronic theory

Mr.. Rietzke started his school
! with $3.50, a small group of cor
respondence students and an
unprecedented Navy directive
which permitted him to act as
la part-tifne civilian.
At that time he was the Navy's

doors in formal flower beds and
at other points on the grounds.
Those set out in the open in
this way begin their Towering
season here in late February or
early March and continue for a
period of from two to three
months.
There are SO varieties Of ca
mellias in the greenhouse and in
the yard.
The camellia Is q highly deco
rative evergreen shrub belonging.
oddly enough, to the tea family.
It was named after George
Joseph Kamel, a Moravian of the
Jesuit Order, who Is credited by
some sources with having brought
the plant from it's native Asia to
the Western world in the 18th
century. On this point, Mr.. Hol-
den states: THAT story is just
not true. The camellia was orig
inally carried by early East India
trading ships to Europe, and 1t
it was introduced from there to
the United States about 1900"
An interesting fact concerning
the history of the flower is re-
vealed by H. Harold Hume in his
book entitled, "Camellias. Kinds
and Culture" which incidentally
Is recommended by Mr.. Holden as
one of the best books on the SUBJ
ject. Mr.. Hume, in his discussion
of the flowers history, says that.
as far as he has been able to as
certain. Kamel never saw a ca
mellia in his life. Nonetheless, the
flower was named in his honor in
1875 by Carolus Linnaeus, world
famous Swedish botanist, because
Kamell, in his work in the Philip
pines, had contributed to the
knowledge Of Far Eastern plants"
Mr.. Holden. who is a stock
broker by occupation, estimates
that in the past two years be-
tween, 100 and $50 fascinated
visitors have expressed a desire
to grow camellias themselves.
These he refers to commercial
houses since he is strictly a
lobbyist.
Jerry Hill, owner Of Hills
Camellia Gardens, points out
that while there is a general
feeling that the camellia is a
sub-tropical plant, capable Of
being grown only in warmer
temperatures, actually many of
the more than 5000 varities de-
veloped to date are cold weather
plants which have proved them
selves hardy in this region. AS
matter of fact. some 800 vari-
cites have been grown success
fully in the Washington area"
Mr.. Hill has 1000 plants grow
ing in the open in Arlington.
More and more people are dis
covering in this unusual flower
a delightful addition to their
gardens. In Mr.. Holden's words,
"The camellia grows very we'll in
this section of the country, and
every one should have a few of
them. not only for the beauty of
the flower, but also because of
the attractiveness Of the plant
itself.

While driving along Russell
road in Alexandria, passersby
usually notice an attractive
greenhouse in a side yard.
If you should stop your car to
get a closer look at the beauti-
full camellias easily visible from
the street, the owner would well
come you cordially. For this
would be no new experience for
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles F. Holden
of 100 West Rosemont avenue.
It happens often.
The Holdens first became In
terested in raising eamellias
three years ago, and year later
constructed the greenhouse adj
jacent to the rear Of their home.
This enables them to enjoy ca
mellias in bloom for approx
mately eight months each year
from about September
through May. In addition, many
more of the plants grow out-of-
