Fi/c&sla. —^This is one of the outstanding summer plants and is 
tao well known to need any introduction. Besides the many 
florists varieties there are also types of equal beauty and value for 
the summer greenhouse, which should be better known. Culture 
is quite easy and as they grow in cool houses they may be termed 
everybody’s flower. Fuchsias can be grown from seed, but the 
usual method is to take cuttings of young shoots and grow plants 
from these. They will strike quite easily ail through spring and 
summer if placed in sand and given close and moist conditions 
with moderate warmth. As soon as the shoots begin to elongate 
it is a sign that they have made some roots and are ready to be 
cooled off and. after that, potted on. Any moist cool temperature 
will suit the growing plant. Pinch the leading shoot to encourage 
a bushy specimen, and continue to pinch the main branches if the 
plant does not send out enough side shoots. Fuchsias only need 
shade from bright sunshine and it is a great mistake to keep them 
in permanent shade. Syringe twice a day when it is warm enough, 
giving plenty of water at all times except during the resting 
season. Plenty of chemical manure given in solution is needed 
during late spring and summer for the fuchsia, unlike most 
flowers—requires feeding while in full bloom. Plants can be 
grown on for many years, if given large pots and good compost, so 
long as they are rested during the winter in some frostproof shed 
or greenhouse. Only very infrequent waterings are then necessary 
to stop the soil from becoming dusty. When starting into growth 
during February, soak the pots in a t^k or pail to make certain 
that every portion of the soil b wet again. While at rest all 
fuchsias should be pruned, the best results being obtained by 
cutting out all thin wood leaving a couple of eyes on each shoot 
near the two year old wood. To obtain a well-shaped plant, 
prune with thb object in view. 
The soil must always be rich and well drained. To ensure thb, 
add dried cow manure to the potting compost and give a generous 
feed of artificial manure if the former b not available. Use four 
parts loam, one part peat moss and half a part scuid. Pot firmly, 
but crock the pots well.

rims in a frame. Keep the plants pinched during Summer to obtain well-bi'anched 
bushy specimens. Plants should never be pruned by cutting back branches while

which usually injure the plants. Keep the soil on the acid side.
