This is a popukir house plant 
as it succeeds well with ordinary 
treatment, and its large forage 
and erect form arc much ad- 
mired. The plants require plenty 
of light, and shotild never be ex- 
posed to draughts. Sponge the 
leaves often to keep them free 
from dust. Strong plants 75c.

The Puchias^ asallknow, are elegant (lowers, delicate in coloring 
:ind exquisitely graceful inform. When in full bloom they are a 
most beautiful sight. The plants we offer are strong and thrifty, 
grown especially for summer and winter flowering, and may be 
trained in almost any desired form. They require a light, rich ^oU, 
sprinkle often and give plenty of liglit and air. The usual plan is to 
obtain plants, flower them in the house during the winter, and then 
consider them useless. This is all wrong. If yoi\ have any defective 
spot on the north side of the house that you wish to conceal 
during the summer, nothing will answer the purpose as beauti 
fully as a Fuchsia. Put out the plants in early summer, sinking the 
pots a little deeper than thte rim, and before the first frost remove 
the plants to the house, and they wilt make you glad all winter, and 
be ready for service in the garden in the summer. For single speci- 
mens, vases, window or ^^eranda boxes, no plant we have to-day can 
compare with them in graceful appearance or beauty of bloom. In 
our northern country they succeed fine and no collection of plants, 
however small, is complete without a few of these favorites. 15c.
