grower; very large flQwer; co- 
rolla very double of rosy violet;

Autumn Leaves. This 
renmrkable fancy variety is said 
to have been brought from 
across the water by a sailor. 
We consider it by far the most 
distinct and beautiful of its 
class. It is impossible for one 
not familiar with our eastern 
forests in autumn, to imagine the beauty of its foliage. In habit it droops, and is most charming when 
staked and the branches allowed to fall naturally and gracefully down, forming streamers of green, red, 
bronze and gold, terminating with its beautiful clusters of flowers. Color, tube and sepal, rosy scarlet, 
corolla, deep violet-crimson. Flowers and foliage blending in perfect harmony. Price 20 ifts. 
Mme. Bruant (new). A vigorous grower, and of fine, drooping tree habit. The flowers are of a 
size and fullness before unknown ; the color is a rosy heliotrope, marked and veined in rose. Sepals bright 
red, and to which a number of the i>etals of the corolla are very curiously affixed, owing to the extreme 
doubleness of the flower. Grand, long-pointed, rounded bloom, with sepals strongly recurved. This fine 
new sort came from France. Price 15 < 5 ks. 
Dr. Topinard. This is one of the finest Fuchsias of recent introduction. Sepals large, rich cherry 
red ; corolla large, single, white. One of the best. Price 10 dls. 
Wave of Life. Flowers single, dark purple, golden foliage ; the contrast of color in flower and foli- 
age showing to great advantage. Price 10 dls. 
Trailing Queen. This Fuchsia is an entirely new departure, differing from all other large flower- 
ing varieties in its habit of growth, as it is a trailing vine. The young plants, as they commence growth, 
creep out to the edge of the pot, and then go trailing downward. The flowers are borne in large, drooping 
clusters, and are very large, long and graceful; buds, tubes and sepals being bright rosy scarlet; corolla, 
when it first opens, a deep, rich violet-purple, changing to a fine shade of crimson. Price jo < 5 ls. 
Mrs. B, G. Hill, This is one of the grandest Fuchsias we have ever grown. Unlike most of the 
<louble white Fvichsias, it is a robust, upright grower, not coarse, but compact and very symetrical. The 
tube and sepals are a bright, reddish crimson ; corolla, pure white, extra large and double. Price io< 5 ts. 
Black Prince. Tube and sepals bright waxy carmine color; sepals with pale green tips and large 
open pale pink corolla, margined with deep rose. Price 10 dls. 
inform King. This fine P'uchsia is of German origin, of elegant, graceful h.abit, producing its im- 
mense, finely formed double flowers in great profusion ; color, tube and sepal red ; corolla, large double 
white, beautifully tinted with a peculiar shade of rosy pink. Price 10 ( 5 ts.

crimson, white and bronzy green; corolla, purple, sepals cpral-red. Price 15 dls.

which are blush, the corolla, crimson. Some plants of this variety, grown in eight or nine-inch pots, will 
produce from three hundred to five hundred flowers from December to May. Price 10 < 5 ls.

winter bloomer. Price 10 < 5 ls.
