FUCHSIA MD. CARNOT.

VVAE have no plants that can equal in grace these denizens 

 ^XJ of the forests of our Southern hemisphere. Grow in 

 a shady place in Summer, in soil composed largely of 

 leaf mold or sandy peat. Grow in a sunny window in Winter 

 and turn frequently to the light to preserve the symmetry 

 of the plant. Give free ventilation, moderate watering and 

 a temperature of 60 Fahr. 



Grand New Flowering Fuchsias. 



BON VOULOIR— Double white corolla, very full, of more 

 than medium size; sepals bright red. the color from each 

 being carried down on to the pure white petals; extremely 

 free, both in growth and bloom; of very neat habit. Promises 

 to prove one of our most useful varieties. Price, 10 cents 

 each. 



TRIPHYLLA HYBRIDA— Entirely distinct from any other 

 variety and would hardly be taken for a Fuchsia. The flow-

 a rich, ornamental appearance. The flowers are of enormous 

 size, a single flower measuring three and a half inches 

 across; sepals bright scarlet, with rich violet blue corollas, 

 very double. Price, 15 cents each. 



MADAM BRUANT, New— This is a novel and distinct new 

 Fuchsia, entirely different in color from any other variety

 double; a fine, large corolla with strongly recurved sepals. 

 The corolla is a delicate heliotrope color, suffused with rose 

 slightly marked and veined with carmine; sepals deep coral 

 red; plant a vigorous grower of fine, graceful habit. This is a

 large and splendid habit, will make it popular with all lovers

Single Corolla Varieties. 



ARABELLA— Tube and sepals white, corolla rose color. 



BLACK PRINCE— The grandest of all Winter bloomers. 

 It is really one of the most charming and desirable Fu- 

 chsias in cultivation, and should be better known. It is 

 a genuine Winter bloomer, and all who know it value it 

 very highly for that quality. The habit of the plant is 

 erect and compact, presenting a decidedly neat and at- 

 tractive appearance as a pot plant. The fine, star-shaped 

 flowers are produced in profusion, and begin when the 

 plants are quite young. Indeed, the plants in our houses 



in all stages are rarely seen without flowers. The tube 

 and sepals are light sky-blue. It blooms quite freely, 

 plants in two-inch pots frequently producing flowers; 

 but large, well established plants will bloom more freely 

 and produce larger clusters. We have seen a plant of 

 this Fuchsia six feet high and five feet through, and by 

 actual count it was loaded with over five thousand of its 

 bright blooms. It was an object of beauty not soon for- 

 gotten. It is of the easiest culture, requiring the same 

 treatment as other Fuchsias. No plant will attract more 

 attention than a well grown specimen of Fuchsia Black 

 Prince. Its clusters of long, drooping, tube-like, brilliant 

 flowers, and very large, green foliage, give it a most 

 striking and beautiful appearance. Price, 'strong plants, 

 10 cents each, 3 for 25 cents.
