+ MME. BRUANT. 



M. Bruant, the originator of this Fuchsia, says : " The purchasers of this novelty will be better able to Judge of its beauty than we can describe 

 it to them." The Revue Horticole sa.y& "that it will become the favorite of amateurs as soon as it is known." These opinions we can endorse after a fair trial 



The plant is vigorous, well-formed and the flowers are of a grandeur never before seen ; color an exquisite lilac mauve streaked and veined with 

 rose; sepals bright red, to which a number of the petals curiously adhere on account of the extreme doubleness of the corolla. The beautiful pendant 

 flowers are of enormous size and are produced in wonderful profusion the entire season. $1.00 per dozen.
