GARDEN
CUBAN
The FoII-Flowerinq Sosonquo Comedies
By w. H. YoUNGMAN

The display of fall-blooming
camellias at the recent meeting
of the Camellia Society Of the
Potomac Valley was not only in
teresting for the beauty Of the
blooms, but 1t called attention to
the number Of gardeners who are
now growing this fascinating
shrub. Most of the camellia grow
ers have confined their attention
to the gorgeous camellia japoni-
ca.
While there are some fall-flow-
ering varieties of the G. japonica,
most of them bloom in the winter
and spring, but the blooming
season is not the only difference
between these two species.
The sasanquas are grown pri-
Imarily as shrubs because their
flowers do not have the lasting
quality of the c. japonica. This
is Of course a disappointment to
some, but some of the newer
varieties show marked improve
Iment in this respect. Also, the
sasanqua and many of the sa-
sanqua varieties will tolerate
much more direct sunlight. Some
claim that the sasanqua is more
cold tolerant than the japonica,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-11-18

while others insist that the OPP
poSite is true.
Unfortunately, in this area the
japonicas have been cultivated
much longer than the sasanqua
so this point cannot be settled
with certainly at present. A num-
Der Of our local gardeners have
been growing the sasanqua for
several years and report these
we're unaffected by the cold
weather when given reasonably
good culture.
Avoid COddIing
All camellias, japonica and
sasanqua, should be fertilized
sufficiently early in the spring so
that they may make their new
growth and have ample time for
them to mature before freezing
weather. Coddling is to be
avoided since it is more than
likely to retard the maturing of
the wood.
Most Of the saSanqua varieties
will tolerate considerably more
direct sunlight than the japon-
lea varieties. However, the white
varieties seem to bud and flower
more freely in light shade, and
the flowers Of all seem to have
better color and to last longer if
to the sun is somewhat
restricted, or where they are
planted in light shade. Heavy
shade is detrimental to good
Towering.
The saSanqua camellia seems
to tolerate more moisture in the
soil and drier conditions than
the japonica, but for vigor and
good growth these extremes
should be avoided. Deep plant
ing is seldom as serious in its
effect on the Sasanqua as on the
japonica.

Growth Habits Vary
The varieties of Sasanqua ca
mellias vary greatly in their
growth habits as well as form
and color Of bloom. There is
some variation in the season Of
bloom.
For this area the earlier-how-
ering varieties are preferred.
For hedges and backgrounds
the more upright growing vari-
cites are preferable.

Promoter Is Accused
OF 'Shortinq' Murciuno

OAKLAND, Calf, April 1S
(R).-Promoter Jimmy Murray
was called back today before the
California boxing investigation
where he was accused Of short
changing Rocky Marciano and
Don Cockell in their heavy
weight championship fight and
paying $4,000 ION the side" to
Marciano'S manager.
James Cox, counsel for the
Investigators, introduced a series
of Murray's work sheets and a
check stub yesterday in an effort
to show the promoter paid $l0,-
900 under the table" to AL WE'LL,
manager of the champion.
Murray insisted he got the
money himself and lost in bet
ting on the horses a few days
after the title fight in San Fran
cisco May l6, 1855.
Cox, former Stanford football
tackle. said Murray subtracted
the $4,000 from the net gate
receipts before figuring the
fighters purses. State boxing
inspectors placed the net re-
ceiptS at $169.728. Murray's
records indicated the boxers
were paid on the basis of a
$3.50 net.
