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 until late 
Fall. With its almosi 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 coming into its own. 
Some varieties work well as background 
for the Tuberous Rooted Begonias; some 
make wonderful hanging baskets, for the 
shade; some, grown as trees, make accent 
points in the shady formal garden. 
From May 10th on, we will have Fuchsia 
in four-inch pots at $1.00 and up each. 
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 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 
oder nor blue shades in their color range 
we suggest using a Heliotrope, Royal Fra- 
grance (the most sweet scented and dark- 
est blue) planted in the same bed to give 
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 May 30th. 2!-in. 
pot-grown plants 25c each or $2.50 per doz. 
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 another blue 
flower that combines well with the Tuber- 
ous Rooted Begonia, both as an edging 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 30th. 2!4-in. 
pot grown plants 25c each or $2.50 a doz. 
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 sumrrer. Growing height about 2-ft. 
Available from May 30th on. 2'2-in. pot 
grown plants 25c each or $2.50 a dozen. 
CORAL OR BEDDING BEGONIA 
The common type bedding begonia that 
needs some shade to do its best. Works ex- 
ceedingly well as a low border or edging 
plant for shade with lots of color. Avail- 
able in red, pink and white. Ready about 
May 30th, 2'2-in. pot grown plants, 25c 
each or $2.50 per dozen.
