Garden Renovation and Consultation 
IVANS & REEVES NURSERIES are celebrated as being 
I the home of one of the finest collections of Fuchsias 
1 in the world, comprising a great many species and varieties, 
J many of the last being originations of Mr. Jack Evans. 
^ No flowering shrubs we grow will give us more wealth 
of color and prove more satisfactory if intelligently used. 
By pruning the plants back at different seasons, some as 
early as August and others as late as March, some wiU be 
in bloom every day and month of the year. 
While we have not listed all the Fuchsias which can 
be seen in our Nurseries, we have carefully selected those 
which we believe to be outstanding types. We^ consider 
that the Hst offered here contains the best Fuchsias which 
can be procured and grown. 
CULTURE OF FUCHSIAS 
While most Fuchsias within a reasonable distance of 
the coast, particularly the single flowered types, will grow 
and bloom well in the full sun, the majority of them will 
be happier if planted in a cool situation with protection 
from the direct rays of the sun during the heat of the day. 
Before planting, the ground should be deeply and 
thoroughly worked, and should have incorporated with it 
plenty of well rotted manure and leaf mold. The soil should 
never be permitted to dry out during the summer months. A 
mulch of manure, leafmold, peat moss or leaves should be kept 
on the top of the ground to protect the roots of the plants so 
that the ground never becomes hard or baked. The plants 
should be fed from time to time throughout the spring and 
summer season. Drenching the foliage of the plants in 
early morning and late afternoon or evening will be found 
extremely beneficial, as this serves to give them the cool 
atmospheric conditions they are so fond of. Never under 
any circumstances put lime where Fuchsias are growing or 
are to be grown. 
BASKETS 
We keep in our Nurseries large assortments of various 
types of Fuchsias in hanging pots and baskets and they are 
extremely beautiful and satisfactory growing in this way. 
These baskets should be fed with liquid manure every 30 
days during Spring and Summer to keep them in good 
condition and should be kept in a cool, sheltered, place away 
from sun and wind. 
FUCHSIA FERTILIZERS 
We are glad to supply our clients with pure leaf mold of 
the finest quality, in addition to old manure and the best 
commercial fertilizers. 
Good plants cannot be successfully grown without the 
proper food!
