~ COMPANION SHADE LOVING PLANTS 
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 Spring co 
late Fall. With its almost endless variety of types and forms, its single and double flowers renee ie 
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 coming 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 Fuchsia in four-inch pots at $1.00 and up each. Available from May 10th on. 
FANCY LEAVED CALADIUMS 
The exotic tropical foliage plant with gorgeous coloring, providing a brilliant subject unexcelled for 
many uses. Taking little care, they are ideal for the home, hotel, store or office. Use them: for pot 
plants, window boxes, plant arrangements, 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 $4.00 each. 
HELIOTROPE ROYAL FRAGRANCE 
This is another old plant which has lost favor because people planted iit 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 Heliotrope, Royal Fragrance (the most 
sweet scented and darkest blue) planted in the same bed to give contrasting blue and the sweet Heliotrope 
odor. Truly one of the old favorities that still can not be surpassed if planted in partial shade. Ready 
May 30th. 214-in. pot-grewn plants 20c¢ each or $2.00 per dozen. 
TORENIA FOURNIERI 
An annual that thrives in either shade or sun. The bloom looks like a cross-between a snapdragon 
(with the tube like structure) and a viola with sky blue, dark blue, and white markings. This is an- 
other blue flower that combines well with the Tuberous Rooted Begonia, both as an, edging for Begonias 
and as a cut flower. 
This is one of the lesser known annuals that we never seam to have enouzh of. 
Plants are ready about May 30th. 214-in. pot grown plants 20c each or $2.00 a dozen. 
a 
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 cut 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 arrangements in the summer. Growing height’ about 2-feet. 
Available from May 30th on. 214-in. pot grown plants 20c each or $2.00 a dozen. is 
CORAL OR BEDDING BEGONIA
