FUCHSIA. 
The Fuchsias, as all know, are elegant flowers, deli- 
cate in coloring and exquisitely graceful in form. 
There are many partially shaded sides of the garden 
where they succeed admirably, more especially if the 
soil is made rich, and has occasionally a good soaking 
of water. It is not advisable to place them in full sun, 
as they frequently shed all their leaves in such posi- 
tions, and look unhappy. Before the first frosts re- 
move the plants to the house, and with good treatment 
they will make you glad all winter and will be found 
ready for service again next summer. The Fuchsias, 
under fair treatment, make ample return to the culti- 
vator for all the care bestowed on them. Price, except 
where noted, io cts. each, 3 for 25 cts.

New Fuchsia, Little Beauty. This is one of the 
most remarkable Fuchsias ever introduced. The 
plants begin blooming when only 3 inches high, and 
are always covered with blooms that resemble Black 
Prince in shape, with bright scarlet sepals and light, 
shiny purple corolla. A large plant will have hundreds 
of blooms on it at one time. To induce all to grow 
this wonderful new Fuchsia, we offer nice plants for 
15 cts. each, 2 for 25 cts.

tube and sepals of a bright rich, reddish crimson ; 
corolla very full and double, of a beautiful azure- 
violet, flaked with red. l*he habit is good, and the 
plant is a persistent bloomer, beginning when very 
small.

milion, tinted violet.

large, full and double ; the flowers are of the largest 
size. It has size, freedom of bloom and good constitu-

and popular Storm King, being a much stronger

much purer white.

and the flowers are borne in large, drooping clusters.
