ECHEVEKIA SECTTNDA GLAUCA. 



ECHEVERIA. 



A genus of succulent plants, both novel and interesting. 

 They are useful either as pot plants for decorative purposes, 

 or for bedding out in summer. Being natives of arid coun- 

 tries, they thrive best if planted in a dry situation, growing 

 where most other plants would fail. (See Cut :)

FUCHSIAS— General Collection. 



We never had our stock of Fuchsias in such fine shape 



as we have this year, both as regards quality of plants and 



excellence of varieties. Our collection contains some new 



varieties which we have never offered before. It will also 



be noticed that a large number of the kinds named have 



double white corollas. This will make the set all the 



more desirable, as that is a feature always most sought 



after in Fuchsias. The letter D or S placed after each 



variety .indicates whether it has a double or single corolla. 



D signifying double, and S single.
