FUCHSIAS 
Fuchsias are in many respects the most satisfac¬ 
tory of shade loving plants, and every garden, no 
matter how large or small, should have a collec¬ 
tion of them. They rank as one of the most orna¬ 
mental of all plants and have long been esteemed 
for their graceful, many-hued blossoms, borne in 
the greatest profusion. 
Through recent importations and new origina¬ 
tions, these beautiful plants are now available in 
a wide range of new colors and forms. 
We have been growing Fuchsias for many years 
and have one of the most complete collections in 
the country, comprising about four hundred varie¬ 
ties, and are constantly adding new kinds, many 
of them our own originations. Besides the sizes 
listed, we also have available larger specimens in 
tubs, boxes, etc., as well as a wide assortment of 
hanging baskets and standards. (A separate list 
of all our Fuchsias can be obtained upon request. 
CULTIVATION: Fuchsias thrive in cool, moist, 
partially shady situations with rich soil and occa¬ 
sional feedings of fertilizer during their blooming 
period. A mulch of leaves, peat moss, or similar 
material around the plants is particularly helpful 
in keeping the surface of the ground in proper 
shape. Daily syringing of the foliage with water 
will discourage insect pests and keep the plants in 
a healthy condition. If these few simple rules are 
followed, the plants will respond with a wealth of 
blossoms throughout most of the year. 
We list below those species and hybrids that 
we consider the choicest and most satisfactory of 
our collection and which we particularly recom¬ 
mend. A great many of them are new.
