Rare Fuchsias. 
These arc very flue varieties, of 
recent Introduction: 
Trailing Queen. Good plants 
for hanging pots or baskets are 
rare—as rare ns they are 
beautiful. This new f’nch- 
. sia never grows erect, but 
3 always trails down over 
la side of the pot. and is the 
g most beautiful of all plants 
for suspension. Luxuriant with¬ 
out, being weedy, procumbent 
without being sprawling, clothed 
with handsome foliage, and load¬ 
ed with hundreds of gracefully 
drooping flowers, nothing more 
could be asked for as a basket 
plant. A well grown plant of this 
Fuchsia is a weeping fountain of 
waxen scarlet and violet-purple 
hells, and it remains in this condi¬ 
tion for months at a time. Verv 
robust and easy to grow, the 
branches reaching a length of four 
and live feet, blooming and grow¬ 
ing nearly the whole year. The 
leaves are dark green, ribbed and 
rayed with red or crimson, which 
makes them luminous and hand¬ 
some. Flowers and buds long and 
graceful, borne in large clustersat 
the ends of the, vines. When ex¬ 
panded the flowers are verv large 
m size, tube and sepals bright rosy 
scarlet, while the corolla at open¬ 
ing is a ricii violet purple, chang¬ 
ing the second day to a fine shade 
of crimson, the two colors in the 
same cluster contrasting beauti¬ 
fully. A good specimen will show 
hundreds of flowers at once, and 
the effect when suspended in a 
window, is truly glorious.

' ful flowers, more freely borne than those of anv other 
sort, make it the most valuable of Fuchsias.' It is 
always in bloom, often as many as 300 buds and blos- 
I soms on a plant at onee. The branches droop most 
l gracefully, and the blossoms are frequently as large 
_ . as teacups. The buds, for two weeks before they 
expand, are balls of glowing scarlet-crimson. When ex¬ 
panded the enormous double flowers are almost pure 
white, capped by a calyx of glowing scarlet; and when

a plant is loaded with buds and blossoms it presents a 
sight which for true grandeur and beauty no flower can 
surpass. They are of the easiest culture and will grow 
and bloom freely with ordinary care in any window. 
Phenomenal. The largest of all Fuchsias, and also very 
distinct in its rich, dark colorings. Enormous double 
flowers, sepals scarlet, corolla a bright violet, purple. 
Little Beauty. A perfect little gem of a Fuchsia, growing 
hut 6 inches high and always full of bloom.
