FUCHSIAS— General Collection. 



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

 most graceful tribe of plants. They all require a shady situation during 

 the summer months, and must not become pot-bound l)efore flowering ; 

 the best soil is a rich sandy loam, or equal parts of loam, sand, and 

 manure thoroughly decomposed. The following have been selected and 

 retained 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. 



Young thrifty plants. Price 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen, except 

 where noted. Large plants, from 50 cents to $1.00 each. 



For new varieties see page 103.
