Fuchsias 
sections of California often attain a height of 8 to 10 
feet when planted in the open ground. They produce 
a wonderful profusion of small, dainty flowers that 
completely cover the plants. If planted in north 
borders, as a background, they are of superb effect. We 
are only giving short descriptions of these varieties, 
but all are distinct either as to form or color. 
Baby. Phlox-purple corolla, scarlet sepals. 
Carmen. Violet. 
Fuchsia Thymifolia. Tiny flowers, uniform crim¬ 
son. Medium height. 
Helene. White corolla, red sepals. Wonderful 
bloomer, very pretty. 
L’Enfant Prodigue. Violet-purple. 
Minos. Dark-purple. 
Ronsard. Violet. 
Telegraph. Purple. 
Plants in 3-inch pots, each 15c; 10 for 
$1.35; $12.00 per hundred. 
Plants in 4-inch pots, each 25c; 10 for 
$2.25; $20.00 per hundred. 
Plants in 5-inch pots, each 50c; 10 for 
$4.50; $40.00 per hundred. 
We have a complete collection of Fuchsias 
on 18 to 36-inch standards. We will be glad 
to furnish prices on request. 
Cultural Note 
Fuchsias are primarily moisture loving subjects. The 
original species from which the hybrids above noted 
were raised are principally natives of Central and South 
America. The country to which they are indigenous is 
one where an abundant rainfall occurs during the var¬ 
ious months of the year. Although most of the species 
are tropical or semi-tropical in their nature it has been 
demonstrated that they are amenable to both indoor 
and outdoor culture in the temperate zones. 
There are but few subjects which will give better 
results planted in a north position than Fuchsias. 
They grow with great rapidity and blossom without 
intermission from early Spring until late Autumn. The 
number of plants which will grow and blossom pro¬ 
fusely in a north exposure are comparatively few. 
Fuchsias are one of the subjects which require this par¬ 
ticular condition. They may be grown as single speci¬ 
mens trained to pyramidal form or they may be trained 
as standards on single stems. Planted early in Spring 
and given an abundance of moisture, with liberal feed¬ 
ing, they grow with great rapidity and soon become with 
only a nominal amount of care plants of splendid effect 
and beauty. Bear in mind that they are gross feeders. 
They require a rich soil, and if the soil is at all poor, 
a liberal mulch of well-rotted manure, with cow manure 
as a preference, is needed. 
Iris 
It is needless for us to extol the beauty of these modern hybrid Irises, now so well-known. Suffice to say due to 
a material increase in our stock, varieties which a season or two ago sold at very high prices are now offered at a 
price within reach of all. 
The rhizomes we offer are exceptionally strong, and by planting now, you may be assured of a fine display of 
bloom during the coming spring.

Wm. Mohr 
A magnificent Iris taken from any standpoint 
of view. This variety is a cross between one of the 
tall large flowering bearded types and the Giant 
tuberous IRIS SUISIANA from Palestine. The 
exquisite markings of the latter have been trans¬ 
mitted in the cross, on a ground color of pale 
lilac are distinct featherings of Manganese violet, 
with a flushing of the same shade in the Stand¬ 
ards. Flowers of immense size extremely vigorous, 
height feet. Price, each 50c;10 for $4.50.
