AMY LYE: One is always attracted to 
this Fuchsia wherever it is exhibited, and 
rightly so, for it is one of the most satis- 
factory of all Fuchsias. The plant has a 
strong, compact habit of growth, and is 
covered throughout the entire season with 
a profusion of bloom. The single flowers 
are coral-orange, with waxy white sepals. 
ANTIGON: A showy and very spritely 
one with white sepals and orange-pink 
corolla. New and different enough to 
make a hit with all who see it. 3-inch pots, 
20c each; 4-inch pots, 35c each. 
AURORA BOREALIS: A medium tall 
one with good foliage and habit of growth. 
The blossoms have a bright orange corolla 
with narrow pointed sepals of soft pink 
tipped green. 
AURORA SUPERBA: I have been trying 
for two days to think of descriptive ad- 
jectives that would do justice to its beau- 
tiful flowers. But alas! Words fail me and 
the following is the best that I can do. 
The corolla is a deep orange-peach with 
sepals and tube of iridescent orange-apri- 
cot. The plant is not a tall grower, never 
growing over 3 to 4 feet. I would not 
think of making a Fuchsia planting with- 
out including this dazzling subject. 
AUSTRA-MONTANA: A newly discov- 
ered species from South America. Ex- 
tremely interesting. Attractive dark green 
foliage, with single brilliant orange flow- 
ers about three inches long, flaring wide 
at the end of the tube. Plants in 3-inch 
pots, each 25c; plants in 4-inch pots, each 
50c. 
AUTUMNAL (Meteor): A novel and 
striking variety that lends itself to train- 
ing on a fence or trellis very readily; in 
fact, it is a real climber. The foliage in 
the spring and summer is a highly col- 
ored combination of bronze and orange 
with a dash of yellow here and there 
and only a slight touch of green. The 
corolla of the flower is a light purple with 
searlet sepals. The plant is liked by all 
who see it. Stock limited.

I never tire of admiring this wonderful 
Fuchsia. Each day as I pass the plant I 
have set out in the nursery I am stopped 
by its radiant beauty. From early spring 
until Christmas this plant pours forth a 
never ending shower of beautiful flowers, 
for all to enjoy. Exquisite long white 
petals, that are displayed to perfection

There is no more satisfactory shrub for t : Bess 
4 : ee ees ate in the Union. Many varieties bloom 
than the Fuchsia. It may be grown in every state f : 
continuously from early Sheng until late fall. With its almost endless ven e types 
and forms, its single and double flowers, ranging in size from that o s ad a 
blossom up to flowers five inches long, and a color range from white Kons nS 
entire gamut to violet, it is little wonder that today it is one of the most popular 
flowering shrubs. ot ; 
At ae nursery in West Los Angeles, I have growing over 200 varieties. In this 
collection you will find tiny dwarf types, others that make veritable trees ae to x 
feet tall. Then again we have trailing and climbing varieties, others that make pe - 
lent hanging basket subjects, and still others that may be used for low hedges. “on 
this collection I have selected those that are most popular and those with the mos 
contrast of color or type. 
HOW TO GROW FUCHSIAS 
Fuchsias are one of the easiest plants to grow. Their native home is the tropic and 
semi-tropical areas of North and South America, with a few coming to us from far-off 
New Zealand. They are at home in practically any country of the world and will 
thrive in any state of the Union. 5 f 
Select a shaded or partially shaded area of your garden in which to plant them. 
Give them a rich friable soil made up of two parts garden loam, one part leafmold 
or peat and one part well rotted manure. To this add occasional light feedings of 
some good commercial fertilizer and you will have a glorious display of gorgeous 
bloom for many months. During the hot summer, top dress the soil around the base 
of the plants with one inch of leafmold or peatmoss. This will keep the roots cool, 
which is one of the few requisites of Fuchsias. They will not stand an outside 
temperature below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. In cold countries they must be lifted with a 
ball of earth around the roots and stored away during extreme cold weather, then 
reset in the spring.
