FUCHSIAS 
.. Fuchsias are essentially moisture and shade 
loving subjects. The original species from which 
the hybrids listed were raised are natives of South 
and Central America—where abundant rainfall oc¬ 
curs. 
Fuchsias love the shade and moisture, thus are 
suitable for shady locations, such as the north side 
of buildings, under trees, etc. They grow rapidly 
and blossom from early spring until late autumn. 
They may be grown as individual specimens 
trained as standards, pyramids, suspended in bas¬ 
kets or espaliered on walls. 
Fuchsias grow with great rapidity and with a 
minimum of care become beautifully effective ad¬ 
ditions to any garden. Because they are heavy 
feeders, we advise a rich soil with applications of 
plant food from time to time. If the soil is poor, 
we suggest spading in and mulching with well- 
rotted cow manure. They will not stand an outside 
temperature of less than 20 degrees F. 
Names given are those generally accepted for 
the varieties which we sell. We endeavor to give 
preference to the name given to the variety by its 
originator. 
The outside envelope of the Fuchsia flower be¬ 
yond the seed pod is classified by two terms. Ad¬ 
jacent to the seed pod comes the TUBE, which ter¬ 
minates in the outspread SEPALS. The inner pet¬ 
als or “skirt” is described as the COROLLA.
