IIUC CARNATION AND THE FUCHSIA I3I 



It also likes a great deal of water on its foliage. It 

 should be given a daily showering, all over. This 

 keeps down the red .spider, which is its worst enemy. 

 If badly infested, it often loses its foliage. It likes the 

 morning sun, but it will do well in partial shade. Never 

 e.xpose it to the hot sunshine of midday or afternoon. 

 If treated as advised, it will bloom with wonderful 

 freedom all summer, and continue to give flowers until 

 well along into the fall. 



I would advise the following varieties for general 

 culture : 



Arabella — White tube and sepals, corolla rose. 

 Early. Single. 



Black Prince — Carmine magenta, with violet 

 corolla, fading to rose. A strong growing upright 

 variety. Great bloomer. Single. 



Gloirc dcs Marches — Crimson sepals, white 

 corolla. Double. 



Minnesota — Sepals waxy white, corolla rose. 

 Exquisite. Single. 



Phenomenal — Crim.son tube and sepals. Corolh 

 a rich violet. Very double. Laree flower. Desirablr 

 because of its strong growth and free-flowering habit. 



Sf^eciosa — Old variety, hut still the best of all 

 for winter flowering. Flesh-colored sepals, carmine 

 corolla. Strong grower and profuse bloomer. Shou'd 

 be allowed to droop. Keen it inther dry durin"^ ■sum- 

 mer, and cut it back well in August, if wanted for 

 winter use.
