FUCHSIAS 
FUCHSIAS. As garden shrubs, pot plants or window box 
flowers, the fuchsias in the new and modern varieties bring 
marvelous beauty and splendor to us such as no other flowers 
can produce. They are becoming more popular each season 
and the Fuchsia Society of America is making flower lovers 
acquainted with their exotic charm. 
Portland and the entire coast region enjoys a climate most 
favorable to fuchsia culture, as they like the cool damp 
weather and thrive in partial shade, while enjoying rich loose 
soils and copious water during dry warm weather. 
Plants may be set out from early April on to July and will 
flower until the frost of fall brings a stop. If the bushes are 
covered with a heavy layer or mound of peat moss they will 
survive the winters here very successfully as we have proven 
repeatedly. 
We are growers of Oregon's first Fuchsia Collection, com¬ 
prising over 50 modern varieties which are available to our
