SUCCESS WITH THE STOCK. 



I want to tell the readers of The 

 Floral World my experience with 

 "stock." Last winter a neighbor gave 

 me a large two-year-old plant. I pot- 

 ted it and the leaves dropped off, but it 

 soon put out new leaves' and bloomed 

 constantly all winter. I have it out in 

 the garden now and it is still blooming. 

 The way to get it is to plant seed early 

 in the spring. Some will come single 

 (those are the ones that have seed on 

 them), others will come double, and 

 they are the ones to take in for win- 

 ter bloomers. Give plenty of water in 

 winter and a sunny place.

A TRIBUTE TO THE FUCHSIA. 



One of the most beautiful plants I 

 ever had was a fuchsia. I do not know 

 its name. In August I received a slip 

 from a friend, which I potted in one- 

 half garden soil, the remainder leaf 

 mold with a good quantity of coarse 

 s'and, putting some stones in boiLom 

 of pot to insure good drainage. Do 

 not allow them to become dry during 

 the growing period. I often gave mine 

 a bath of soap suds, and was not much 

 troubled with insects. Some use to- 

 bacco water, but I prefer the soap. 

 Put one cup strong tobacco tea in one 

 gallon water and sprinkle the plants 

 with it. The last of October I with- 

 held water. When the leaves were 

 dead I cut off the top within two inches 

 of the earth and set it in a cool room 

 free from frost. The first of March I 

 set it in the sun in a warm room, and 

 watered sparingly at first, increasing 

 the amount after growth began. The 

 second summer mine was the admira- 

 tion of all. I counted the flowers one 

 day and there were forty-six, besides a 

 multitude of buds.
