FUCHSIAS 
Here you will find described many of the finest fuchsias, 
including 1941 introductions as well as many of the best 
standard named varieties. Besides these listed here we 
grow almost another hundred varieties, but limited space in 
this catalog keeps up from describing all of them. If you 
desire one or more varieties not listed here, let us know what 
you want, we most likely have them in stock. Or better, 
visit our nursery during fuchsia season for a fine display of 
new and standard varieties. 
CULTURE 
Cultural requirements of fuchsias are too well known to 
warrant more than a few lines here. Briefly, they thrive in 
a shady location, in a soil rich in humus (leafmold, peat, 
manure) and need plenty of water. Where the temperature 
drops below 25°F. they should be protected by a heavy 
mulch of straw, peat, sand or other suitable material. If so 
protected around the base of the plants, they will sprout from 
near the roots even if cut down by frost to the mulch. Please 
do not hesitate to call on us if you have trouble growing 
fuchsias. We grow thousands of fuchsias each season and 
may be able to help you with your problems. 
NAMES 
In this catalog each name has been carefully checked with 
originators’ lists and specially with the Check List of Fu- 
chsias by E. O. Essig. After all, this check list is sponsored 
by the American Fuchsia Society and while it is not claimed 
to be absolutely correct, it is the best list available and did 
show us that several generally accepted names cannot be 
correct. The correct name and spelling is used in this 
catalog.
