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 the 
Fuchsia. Put out the plants in early summer, sinking 
the pots a little 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

blooming, water should be withheld, and the 
bulbs remain dry through the winter. Habit of 
plant is shown in the engraving.
