Fuchsias, or Ladies’ Eardrops 
We are large growers of Fuchsias and we call 
especial attention to our new Dwarf Fuchsias, espe¬ 
cially adapted for florists’ use to bloom in pots. 
They are dwarf branching and so free in bloom as 
to almost hide the plant. We offer the following 
varieties of Dwarf Flowering Florins’ Fuchsias:

rolla.

Brazilian Plume Plant —Perhaps no plant has at¬ 
tracted so much attention in the past two years as 
the Justicia, or Brazilian Plume Plant. The plant 
is a strong, rapid grower, and throws up long

flowers, the ends of each petal drooping in a most 
charming manner. When the plants are but a few

beautiful blossoms. It does equally well either for 
house or outdoor culture. Dozen, 60 cents; hundred, 
$4.00.
