NINE SUPERIOR VARIETIES. 



SINGLE FUCHSIAS. 



Black Prince — The grandest of all winter bloomers. This is 

 really one of the most charming and desirable Fuchsias in culti- 

 vation, and should be better known. It is a genuine winter 

 bloomer, and all who know it value it very highly for this qual- 

 ity. _ The habit of the plant is erect and compact, presenting a 

 decidedly neat and attractive 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 

 2 inch pots f reciuently producing flowers ; but large, well estab- 

 lished plants will bloom more freely and produce lai'ger clusters. 

 We have seen a plant of this Fuchsia 6 feet high and 5 feet 

 through, and by actual count it was loaded with over 5,000 of its 

 bright blooms. It was an object of beauty not soon forgotten. 

 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 Black Prince Fuchsia. Its clusters of 

 long, drooping, tube-like, brilliant flowers and verj^ large, green 

 foliage, gives it a most striking and beautiful appearance. 15c. 



Earl Beaconsfleld — Another grand winter blooming variety of 

 great merit. The plants are of fine form and are never without 

 a profusion of bloom from late summer until spring. The blooms 

 are three inches in length and of great substance. The flowers 

 droop beautifully ; they ai-e large, elegantly shaped, and of good

 carmine, a lovely combination. This variety is of strong con- 

 stitution and easily grown. , Fine plants, 10c each.,
