FUCHSIAS.... 



THE MOST MAGNIFICENT OF PLANTS. 



The Fuchsia is cei'tainly one of the most graceful and ornamental of all garden or 

 house plants. They are especially beautiful and show to the best advantage when 

 trained to light supports, and their branches allowed to di-oop naturally, borne down bv 

 the weight of bright elegant flowers, drooping like bells from the delicate foliage. Fuch- 

 sias succeed well in almost any rich soil, and require plenty of air and partial shade.
