OTHER SHADE-LOVING PLANTS FOR 1947 
FUCHSIA 
There is no more satisfactory shrubbery plant for partial shady area of your garden than the Fuchsia. It may be grown 
in every state in the union. Many varieties bloom continuously from early spring until late fall. With its almost endless 
variety of types and forms, its single and double flowers ranging in size from that of a tiny lilac blossom to flowers five 
inches long, and a color range from white through the entire gamut to violet, it is little wonder that again it is fast com- 
ing into its own. Some varieties work well as background for the Tuberous Rooted Begonias and some make wonderful 
hanging baskets. for the shade. while some, grown as trees, make accent points in the shady formal garden. 
This year we will have Fuehsias in four-inch pots at $1.00 each, and six-inch pots at $3.50 each,| Also, hanging baskets 
ready filled ‘from $3.00 to $10.00, and a few standards from $5,00 to $10,60.| Available from May 10th on.

ing little care, they are ideal for the home, hotel, store or office. Use them for pot plants, window boxes, plant arrange- 
ments, and out-of-doors around pools and bog gardens, or in shady damp places for color. Available from May 10th on. 
Large plants at $1.00 to $3.00 eaeh. 
HELIOTROPE, ROYAL FRAGRANCE 
This is another old plants which has lost favor because people planted it in the sun, but is now rapidly coming into 
its own again when planted in partial shade. As long as Tuberous Rooted Begonias have no odor nor blue shades in their 
color range we suggest using a few Heliotrope, Royal Fragrance (the most sweet scented and darkest blue) planted in the 
same bed to give the contrasting blue and the sweet Heliotrope odor. Truly one of the old favorites that still can not be 
surpassed if planted in partial shade. Ready from May 10th on. 212-in. pot-grown plants @i5c each or $1.50 per dozen. 
4-in. pot-grown plants @50c each or $5.00 per dozen. 
TORENIA FOURNIERI 
An annual that thrives in either shade of sun. The bloom looks like a cross-between a snapdragon (with the tube like 
structure) and a viola with a sky blue, dark blue, and white markings. iThis is another blue flower that combines well 
with the tuberous begonia. both as an edging plant for begonias and as a cut flower. 
This is one of the lesser known annuals that we never seem to have enough of, 
. Plants are ready about May 20th. 24%e2-in. pot grown plants 15¢ each or $1.50 a dozen. 
BROWALLIA SPECIOSA MAJOR 
Another blue annual that grows equally well in sun or shade. The flowers are a bright blue with a small amount of 
white in the throat, and exceedingly good as a eut flower, with stems from 6 to 12 inches long. They work in well with 
most all short stemmed flowers to give that real blue which we sometimes have difficulty in finding, especially for table 
arrangement in the summer. Growing height about 2-feet. Available from May 10th on. 214-in. pot grown plants 15¢ 
each or $1.50 a dozen. 
STREPTOCARPUS GIANT HYBRIDS 
This plant, sometimes called the Cape Primrose is of real old origin, but we find it grows exceedingly well out doors 
in the shade, in fact. we have found they will stand even more shade than the tuberous rooted begonia. The leaves all grow 
close to the ground and the gloinia—like flowers appear 6 to inches above the foliage, on good strone stems. We have 
the blue colorings in this plant that are lacking in the tuberous rooted begonias. Planted im the same type soil as begonias 
they will start blooming in the middle of the summer and continue; and if potted up before frost and taken indoors will 
continue to bloom all winter.
