FARFUGIUM. 
A first-class ornamental plant for pots, well-adapted 
for house culture. The leaves are thick and leathery, 
dark green with yellow spots, and the size of a five cent 
piece ; quite hardy 
Farfugium grande. 50 cents each. 
FUCHSIAS. 
The Fuchsias, as all know, are eiegant flowers, deli¬ 
cate in coloring and exquisitely graceful in form. The 
usual plan is to obtain plants, flower them in the house 
a little while, and then consider them useless. This is 
all wrong. No flower will make a more beautiful bed 
or screen near the house or on the borders of the lawn, 
than the Fuchsia, if partially shaded ; and it will even 
bear almost entire shade. If you have any defective 
spot on the north side of the house that you wish con¬ 
cealed, or desire anything for a northern border, noth¬ 
ing will answer the purpose as beautifully as tho 
Fuchsia. Put out the plants in early summer, sinking 
the pots a littie deeper than the rim, and before the first 
frosts remove the plants to the house, and they will 
make you glad all winter, and be ready for service in 
the garden again the next summer. The engraving 
shows both the single and double varieties. Plants 25 
cents each ; $2.25 per dozen.

SINGLE GERANIUM. DOUBLE GERANIUM. 
Perhaps no class of plants is more generally culti¬ 
vated by the American people than the Geraniums. 
Certainly do we find none which is adapted to so many 
useful purposes. A bed of scarlet Geraniums, with a 
border of silver-leaf or bronze, is a most dazzling sight 
I from June to-November. For baskets and vases, when 
; a show of color is wanted, they are without a rival. In 
winter they gladden the eye through the dull and gloomy 
days. There have been decided improvements in this 
class of plants in the last few years, both in color and 
form of the flowers, and in brilliancy of foliage. We 
have grown many hundred seedlings, and introduce 
some of them this spring for the first time. These, aud 
the other new varieties which we catalogue, will afford 
1 our customers much pleasure. Plants intended for 
i winter blooming should be grown in pots through the 
i summer and not be allowed to bloom ; or cuttings should
