FUCHSIA. 
Well known, half-hardy, perennial, deciduous shrubs, 
worthy a place in every garden. The varieties are now 
numbered by hundreds, and some are exceedingly beau¬ 
tiful. They are as easily grown from seed as cuttings, 
and from seed many improved varieties are obtained. 
Sow in March, in shallow pots; prick out in crocks four 
inches in diameter, when of convenient size, where they 
can continue to grow till they bloom. As soon as they 
have flowered, select such as have good points, and 
change into larger pots. When frost appears, protect 
the plants.

GERANIUM (Pelargonium). 
Probably the Geranium is better known and more 
universally ad¬ 
mired than any 
other plant 
grown. The 
constant suc¬ 
cession and 
durability o f 
bloom till frost 
comes, the 
brilliancy of the 
scarlet and oth¬ 
er colors, and 
the exquisite 
markings of the 
leaves of some 
of the varieties, 
render them 
very desirable for pot culture and bedding. No garden 
seems complete without a bed of them, and in every col¬ 
lection of conservatory or parlor plants we are sure to 
find the Geranium. Propagation by seed is the only 
sure way to obtain superior varieties. Sow in March, 
in gentle heat, in well drained pots. Water moderately, 
and as soon as the third leaf appears, pot singly in two-
