TRAILING FUCHSIAS 

THE GRACEFUL, TRAILING FUCHSIA” TYPE 
FUCHSIA CULTURE—AIl Fuchsias like a 
sheltered spot with filtered sunshine. The soil 
should consist of three parts acid leaf mold, not 
too fine, one part coarse sand and one part old 
manure. They should be lightly potted or if 
placed in the ground should not be packed 
down. Basket types should have an additional 
feeding every two weeks of liquid manure. They 
should also be pinched back after forming three 
or four sets of leaves. This makes a much bet- 
ter shaped plant and as Fuchsias bloom on the 
new growth, more flowers are the result. The 
upright kinds should be pruned severely early 
in the spring, whether grown indoors or out. 
They should also have a heavy mulch of well- 
rotted manure applied at this time. During 
very warm weather, a sprinkling of water on 
the foliage during the day will be appreciated. 
The soil should be kept moist at all times. If 
grown indoors, do not place in a south win- 
dow, either a north or east is preferable. 
All plants from 21-inch pots 
40c each unless otherwise noted.
