WAYSIDE GARDENS n^enxor.ohio 
FUCHSIA 
Mostly tender shrubs used for bedding or cool greenhouse decoration in 
the temperate zone. They are charming subjects for the shady garden 
available in many colors and forms. 
Culture. Ordinary good loam, well drained. They do not like heavy, wet 
clay soils. Do well in shady places where it is difficult to flower other 
plants. Magellanica is a hardy variety, wintering over outdoors if the 
plant is protected with straw during the winter. 
Magellanica Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00 
This most interesting shrub came to us from the New York Botanical 
Garden, where it has proven entirely hardy. It is in bloom all summer 
long until stopped by frost. The ruby-red pendent flowers are pro¬ 
duced by the hundreds, flowering just as freely in full sun as in light 
shade. A most interesting plant for the flower border or rock garden, 
where it fits in perfectly, blooming all summer. Like all Fuchsias, they 
are especially adapted for shady locations. We advise protection any¬ 
where north of Philadelphia. 
FUNKIA - Plaintain-lily or Japanese Day-lily 
Hardy, herbaceous perennials with handsome green or variegated foliage, 
and lily-like flowers borne on graceful spikes. The ovate, cordate, or 
lance-shaped leaves grow in tufted form. Excellent plants for growing in 
sunny or partially shady borders on the margins of water or as edgings 
to beds and walks. 
Culture. Funkias require to be grown in a rich, well manured soil. The 
variegated kinds are best grown in partial shade. The others will suc¬ 
ceed in sunny borders, by the waterside, or as specimens in groups. 
Subcordata should be grown in a warm, sheltered position. Plant in fall 
or early spring, six inches apart.

be potted up in fall ond will continue blooming indoors. In temperate 
sections of the country they only require a light protection. Plant in

GERANIUM - Crane's-bill 
These are the true Geranium, and are quite distinct from the so-called 
"Greenhouse Geranium," which are really Pelargoniums. Those offered 
are very interesting plants for growing on the margins of sunny bor¬ 
ders or in the rock garden. 
Culture. Ordinary light or medium soil and a sunny position will suit 
these plants admirably. They should be grown in groups on the mar¬ 
gins of borders or in the rockery. Plant in autumn or spring, 8 to 12 
inches apart. Once established do not disturb them, then they will 
grow and flower with great freedom, and produce a pretty effect the

CAILLARDIA - Blanket Flower 
We consider the Gaillardia one of the most desirable hardy plants in 
cultivation. Everyone will have noticed how grandly Gaillardias have 
thriven through droughts; they seem hardly to need water. The gay blos¬ 
soms are obtainable in perpetual profusion from June to November, and 
the greater the drought and scarcity of other flowers the more the 
utility of the perennial Gaillardia is demonstrated. 
Culture. A rich, but light soil is essential to grow Gaillardias success¬ 
fully They cannot be depended upon to survive the winter on heavy, 
clay soils, but do splendidly on those of a light or medium character. 
They require a sunny position. Plant in fall or spring, 6 to 8 inches 
opart. It is advisable in fall to protect them from frost with a little dry 
covering of straw. 
Improved English Strain Giant Hybrids Three $0.85, Doz. $2.75, 100 $18.00

foliage, and pea-shaped flowers borne in racemes throughout the sum¬ 
mer. Of great value for cutting. They are distinctly attractive plants 
for sunny borders. Plants are of strong, compact habit.
