FUCHSIA. 
SINGLE FUCHSIA. 
The Fuchsias, as all know, are elegant flowers, deli¬ 
cate in coloring and exquisitely graceful in form. When 
in full bloom they are a most beautiful sight. The plants 
we offer are strong and thrifty, grown specially for sum¬ 
mer and winter flowering, and may be trained in almost 
any desired form. The Fuchsia requires a light, rich 
soil. Sprinkle often and give plenty of light and air. The 
usual plan is to obtain plants, flower them in the house 
during winter, and then consider them useless. This is 
all wrong. If you have any defective spot on the north 
side of the house that you wish concealed during the 
summer, nothing will answer the purpose as beautifully 
as the Fuchsia. Put out the plants in early summer, sink¬ 
ing the pots a little deeper than the rim, and before the 
first frost 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 engravings 
show both the single and the double varieties. To those 
unacquainted with varieties who may prefer to leave the 
choice to us, we will make a selection that we are quite 
sure will be satisfactory, for our collection is large and 
fiue. Plants 25 cents each ; $2.25 per dozen, except 
where noted ; or £2.00 our selection.
