FUCHSIAS. 
There IS no class of plants more universally grown than this old-time favorite. Their 
popularity never wanes, and if a person has room for only one plant that should be a 
fuchsia. They thrive best in a mixture of leaf mold and sand; should be kept in a 
shady , moisi siituation and require plenty of water, especially when in blossom. The 
varieties we offer are tried and true, and we heartily recommend them to our patrons.
