FUCHSIA GLOBOSA. 
No plants contribute more to the gaiety or elegance of our flower gardens 
than those belonging to the genus Fuchsia, and there is perhaps no better way of 
showing their rich pendent flowers to advantage, than by grouping them, not over 
thick, in a bed of rich soil, in which they grow strong and produce a great profusion 
of large blossoms. We have seen them present a very striking and interesting 
appearance when trained upon neat trellis work against a wall. 
The generic name was given in honour of Leoner Fuchs, a German botanist, 
author of " Historia Stirpum."
