This offering of some of our choicest Fuchsias, selected 
from our large collection, is made in responce to the greatly 
aroused interest in Fuchsias by flower lovers. .The nomencla¬ 
ture of Fuchsias is badly muddled but it is believed that the 
descriptions given, made from the plants themselves and their 
names are correct. Fuchsias are most easily grown in mixd 
climates out-of-doors if given shade, ample moisture and rich 
soil, and their long blooming season is almost unequalled by 
any other flower. . Varieties suitable for training in climb¬ 
ing or tree form are designated by the letter "C" following 
the name. "S" in the description means Small, "L", Large. 
PRICES,except as otherwise noted below; Small plants, 4 
to 8 inches high, 55# each.* Large plants, 8 to 15 inches high, 
65# each; Extra Large Plants and Standards, $1 to $1.50 each. 
10# discount on orders cf $5 and over. Add 2j# sales tax on

California address on orders for $ 1 and over; elsewhere for 
15# additional to partly cover cost.
