CHOICE rUOHSIAS. 



The Fuchsia or "Lady's Eardrop" constitutes certainly one of 

 the most graceful tribe of plants. They all require a shady situ- 

 ation during the summer months, and must not become pot-bound 

 before flowering ; the best soil is a rich sandy loam, or equal parts 

 of loam, sa^id, and manure thoroughly decomposed. The follow- 

 ing have been selected and retained out of over 100 varieties after 

 years of trial as the best. 



Persons desiring large specimen plants, must leave the selection 

 of varieties to us, as we grow only such as are suitable for that 

 purpose.
