Buy Camellia plants now By LORNA BON- HAM The best time to select a Camellia for your gar- den is when it's in bloom which, for the japonica species, is now into April. Since the Camellia is dormant when it blooms, now is also a great time to plant a Camellia. When making a selec- tion, ask at the nursery about cultural require- ments and ultimate size of that particular cultivar. Also look at the num- ber of buds on the plant. This will be an indication of future performance. Camellia are easy to cultivate and seldom attacked by disease and pest. They have a beauti- ful bloom from February through April, and are an evergreen shrub through out the rest of the year. For all these reason, one can become addicted to growing camellia. Camellia need well- drained soil rich in organ- ic soil. They are best planted in a semi shade location but that does not mean no sun at all. They need a few hours of sun. Never plant Camellia so the trunk base is below the soil line, and never permit soil to wash over and cover this base. There are over 270 known species of Camellia and over 30,000 cultivars in hundreds of color combi- nations of white to dark red with all shades in between and many varia- tions in striping and mot- tling. There is even a species which is yellow and hybridizers are using it, hoping to enlarge the Camellia color palette. Of the 270 species three are the most com- mon in the garden; the C. japonica, C. reticulata and C. sasanqua. A "Hybrid" Camellia is one that is a hybrid between two or more species. Often the hybrid Camellia has the best of each species. The Camellia japonica species is what most gar- deners think of when you talk about Camellia. There are over 20,000 cultivars. By far the majority of all cultivated Camellia so far intro- duced. The C. japonica is a large shrub or small tree from 6 to 20 feet when fully grown but they are variable in size, growth rate and habit, so find out all that you can about the one chosen at the nursery. Many are slower growing. The Camellia reticula- ta has big spectacular flowers but the plant has weak lanky stems and does not like heavy prun- ing so is difficult to con- trol. It is best to look for hybrids of the C. reticula- ta and the C. japonica. The C. sasanqua blooms from October through January and tol- erates more sun. It is lightly scented but does not have strong stems for cut flowers. By the way, remember when you have a cup of black or green tea, you are drinking camellia juice from the leaves of the species, Camellia sinen- sis. Red Bluff Garden Club meetings are open to the public. The program on Tuesday, March 30, will be all about 'Arrange- ments & Table Setting' by Erlynn Owens of Cascade Arrangers' Guilds.

In the military Courtesy photo Ron and Kay Fox of Red Bluff as pictured 50 years ago on their wedding day, Feb. 12, 1960, and at a recent celebration of their 50th anniversary. The 50th Wedding Anniversary of Ron and Kay Fox of Red Bluff was celebrated by immediate and extended family at a dinner banquet held recently at the Riverside. The event was hosted by the couple's three children: Cheri of Greenbrae; Mike (and Cristy) of Red Bluff; and Greg (and Cynthia) of Greenville, S.C. Ron and Kay were high school sweethearts and started "going steady" on May 12, 1956. They were married on Feb. 12, 1960, at the Wayside Chapel in historic Rough and Ready, Calif. The twelfth of each month is special for them and their song, "The Twelfth of Never" was highlighted at the celebration. Upon graduation from college, Ron became a pharmacist working for many years at Clark's Drug Store and Raley's in Red Bluff. He also did some relief work at both Clark's Drug Store and Price's Pharmacy in Corning and Vitt's in Orland. He retired in 1989. Kay's profession was teaching, which she enjoyed for 30 years. She taught English at Enterprise High School, was teacher/director of the Red Bluff Coop- erative Nursery School for seven years, and spent the last 18 years of her career teaching fourth grade for the Red Bluff Union School District at both Bidwell and Metteer Schools. She retired in 1997. The couple has eight grandchildren: Jordan, Matthew, Rena and Kara Fox of Red Bluff and Thomas St. John of Greenbrae and Daniel, Anna and Jonathan Fox of Greenville, S.C. Ron and Kay have traveled a great deal throughout their marriage and plan a repeat of a 14-day Alaskan cruise this next summer to continue their celebration.
