FUCHSIA CULTURE 
Fuchsias may be grown in practically any wind-protected place provided they get protec- 
tion from direct sun during hot midday hours. In the ground or in pots they prefer partly 
sheltered location; this could be the east side of a building, under high-branched trees, in 
filtered sunlight or in a lath house. As to soil condition, the first consideration is good drain- 
age, break up the soil well. To provide the humus and acid condition necessary, thoroughly 
mix plenty of leaf mold with either well rotted manure or compost into the soil. For pot 
mixture add some sand. in warm weather Fuchsias need plenty of water, overhead sprinkling 
is advised.
