ture of the camellias. This Is to
be accomplished through suitable
lectures and well-selected articles
on culture and propagation. The
society will serve as a clearing
house on culture methods and
experience, data. In addition, 1t
is planned to hold camellia
shows; the first Is tentatively
scheduled for the last week in
March.
Undoubtedly q great many
gardeners here have expert
mented with this delightful ever
green. It provides an amazing
display Of bloom during the fall
and spring months, occasionally
during periods Of moderate tenn
peratures in the winter. These
pioneer gardeners the society
hopes to reach and aid, SO that
they may have greater success
with this slow-growing. glossy
leaved plant from the Orient
that thrives in shade-Camellia
japonica, and its myriad varieties
and hybrids.
Emphasis will undoubtedly be
placed upon the use Of the ca
mellia as an out-of- f-door plant
although they are the joy Of
the gardener with a ''cool green
house." The latter is necessary
for continuous bloom throughout
the winter. But only a few such
fans are known in the Washing
ton area. The society will prin-
cipally serve the large number
of backyard gardeners who have
def1ed all the literature that
shows Washington outside Of the
area Of adaptation. These hardy
souls are said to number around
10000 families.
The camellia is a splendid ad-
dition to the azaleas, rhododend-
rons, and other ericaceous plants
that thrive in light to moderate
shade here. The camellia seems
to be happiest under the shade
Of oaks and pines. The choice Of
varieties. however. Is important
since there is little point in Sc
lecting those that normally
flower in the months of Deem
ber. January. and February. In
other words, it is the early
bloomers and the late boomers
which are the least likely to lose
their flower buds.
OF course. even the late bloom
ers may be stimulated into flow

Life in the Country
1t Takes Lot of Time and Real Work
To Get Out of Routine Chore

Templeton Jones was in the
other day checking up on our
pond. If you remember, Jones
was the one who suggested lend
ing us his book on ponds. then
thought better Of it.
"You had better buy the book, I"
he said. TT is a book you should
own. and if I lend you mine.
you'll put off buying it."
We took Jones seriously and
looked all over town for the book
on ponds. But nowhere could it
be found. And so we are going
to have to try and order a copy.
But Temp Jones is not one to
let us go without thorough
knowledge of our pond.
"Since you can't find the
book" said he. IN have to
bring you down my copy. You
had better go ahead and order
one any way" Jones said,
OF course, we accepted the
offer. and in return we are
going to Ak up a special medita-
ton spot for Jones on the far
bank of our pond. There is a
big elm there. and we have a
mental picture of Jones sitting
there meditating during a hot
summer day.

The growing Of camellias in
the Washington area started
many years ago; some have said
the japanese Embassy made the
first paintings. Many Of the
original plants have disappeared,
but there are some still In exist
ance.
Gardeners from the South
have brought many camellia
plants into this area over the
years so that they might have
something from the "Old Home. I"
For some years now the Glen
wood Road Garden Club has de-
voted much time and effort to
the culture of the camellia. Also
we have a nurseryman who spe-
cialized in camellias.
Last year the Takoma Horti-
cultural Club staged the first
camellia show for this area.
Now we are to have a full
f1edged cameHia society. Camellia
growing has come of age.
A recent meeting of camellia
enthusiasts resulted in the for
nation Of the Camellia Society Of
the Potomac Valley which en-
braces the northern section of
Virginia. the District of Colurn-
bia, and adjacent areas in Mary
land.
The officers are Milton H.
Brown, president; Charles F.
Holden, Alexandria, vice pres
ident; Mrs. Milton Greenland,
Alexandria, recording secretary;
Col, L. E. Edwards Of Washing
ton, treasurer; and Mrs. Milton
H. Brown, corresponding secre-
tary. Comdr. w. S. Domer Of
Washington is chairman Of the
membership committee.
The next meeting Of the
society will be held in historic
Gadsby's Tavern. In Alexandria,
at 8 pm, February %. Invita-
tions are extended to all camellia
growers to join, either at this
meeting or by contracting any Of
the above-named officers.
The initiation fee of SO in
cludes the first years dues, an
interesting booklet on camellia
culture. and descriptions Of more
than 800 varieties Of camellias,
many of which can be grown
out-of-doors in this area.
The purpose Of this society is
to stimulate interest in the cul-

ering by unreasonable warm
weather in February. Usually
that results in loss Of the open
blooms. the unopened buds BURST
ing forth later on when the
weather is favorable.
The list of varieties Of ca
melliaS recommended for this
area by the Glenwood Road Gar
den Club is perhaps the best for
the beginner since they were
selected for a suburban area, far
from the ameliorating influence
of the Potomac River and other
large bodies of water. 1t includes
the fall bloomer Daikagura.
The spring boomers listed are;
Bernice Boldly, Mathotiana,
Lady Clare, Donckelari. Kuma-
saka, White Empress, Blood Of
China, Pink Perfection. Gouve-
nor Mouton, Magnoliaefiora, and
Vile de Nantes. We might add
such toughieS as Jarvis Red,
Arijishi (fall bloomer), and
Herme which may not have as
high quality flowers as the others.
Then. of course. there is the
never-ending bias because Of
bloom. Many of us like the
flowers of Elegans and will grow
that variety even though a freeze
may wipe out the blooms in an
occasional year.
The limited number Of vari-
etieS listed above may seem long
to the uninitiated. but the list
is very short compared to the
number under trial in some of
the lobbyists gardens nearer
the river.
