During Use last few years. the
camellia has become very popu
lar in North, Carolina and enthus
iasts have spent a great deal of
money on this fine flowering
shrub. Until he learns by experi
ence, the beginner should under
stand some of the fundamental
reacts about the culture of camel
lias. In the first place, there is a
Keat deal of difference in the
Bnrdiness of varieties; that is, how
well they will withstand cold tem
peratures. This has been a good
Winter to find out about the hardi
• ness of different varieties.
West of a line Greensboro to
' Charlotte only the hardiest vari
eties should be tried and even
they may need protection. There
are varieties that bloom in the
fall, some that bloom in the win
ter and others that bloom in the
spring. For the east-central section
of the state, the Varieties that
bloom in the fall and spring should
be most Satisfactory, although in
mild winter blooming varieties
may produce fine flowers. In the
coastal plain many of the . winter
blooming and more tender vari
eties may be grown successfully.
Camellias will grow in the full
sun, but semi-shade is desirable.
Plants on northern exposures or
otherwise, protected from too much
winter sun will generally stand
more «cold than will those cm
southern exposures. Too much win
ter sun will cause early plant
growth activity which will make
the buds more susceptible to in
jury, from severe freezes. Camel
lia flower buds are much more
easily injured by cold than the
plant itself and therefore the buds
may drop prematurely after se
vere weather even if the plant
itself shows no injury. , i
! Soils for camellias should be
well-drained and acid in reaction.
A good soil may be built by mix
ing equal volumes of fertile top
soil and peat or old sawdust.-In
transplanting camellias they should
be set at the same 'dept or* even
slightly shallower than they were
originally, then thoroughly water
ed, and mulched with three inches
of pine, needles. For more complete

Did you think you couldn’t afford the
price of a new 1955 Buick?
'You certainly can —if you can afford any
new car. And we proudly show our price
here to prove it.
For the delivered price of the Buick Special
Sedan shown here is sharply competitive
with those of the three best-known smaller
i car8—lower, in fact, than some models of
those same cars.
Buick Sales Are Soaring
• Thai’s one big reason why Buick production
and Buick sales are hitting all-time record
highs today—and why Buick is outselling all
other cars in A merica except two of the
best-known smaller cars.
But an even bigger reason is this fact:
- The price you pay for a Buick buys you a
lot more automobile than the same money
buys elsewhere.
It buys you big-car room and size and corn* ,
fort and brawn. It buys you Buick styling,
Buick power, Buick handling, Buick ride
steadiness—and the fun and pride and satis
faction of bossing the hottest car of the year.
And it buys you the widest choice in the
industry today. For. there’s a Buick to fit
any price range you name — the low-price
Special, the high-powered Century, the
, extra-roomy Super, and the custom-built
. RoADMASTER. .
So why not come in and see how easy it is
to swing the Buick beauty you’ve got your
he. i set on? Then you’ll see why the thrill
of the year is Buick in a lot more ways
than one./
