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 positions, 
and look unhappy. Before the first frosts remove tilt- 
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 cultivator for all 
the care bestowed on them. Price, except where noted, \
