The Phenomenal Ftichsia Set. Price, 15 cts. each, or the full set of these Phenomena* Fuchsias for 50 cts. Post-paid. 1. Black Prince—This is, without question, the very finest Fuchsia grown fof the amateur to cultivate. It makes a shapely bush, is robust in growth, free from dis- ease and insects, and is probably the freest in blooming. Blossoms of a beautiful waxy-carmine or pink color Cer- tainly a plant of easy culture. Price 15 cents each. 2. Phenomenal Fuchsia—The grandest of them all. Phenomenal is the largest flowered Fuchsia in cultivation. The plant is a tall grower, branching like a tree; the leaves are dark, glossy-green, with vein's of dark crimson, giving the foliage a rich, ornamental appearance. The flowers are of enormous size, a single flower measuring three and a half inches across; sepals bright scarlet, with rich violet purple corollas, very double. Price, 15 cents each. 3. White Giant—One of the larg'est and best white Fuchsias grown. Fine grower, very double. Color a pure white. This is a better grower than "Storm King," and superior to that variety, or in fact, any of the white Fuch- sias. We find it to be an excellent Winter bloomer. It gives us much pleasure to offer this grand Fuchsia. Price, 15 cents each. 4. Lord Beaconsfield—This is really one of the most charming and desirable Fuchsias in cultivation, and should be better known. The habit of the plant is erect and com- pact, presenting a decidedly neat and attractive appear- ance as a pot plant. The fine star-shaped flowers are pro- duced in profusion, and begin when the plants are quite young. Price, 15 cents. 5. Paris Mnrcie—This is a variety unsurpassed among all the Fuchsias with white corollas. In fact, it is- nearly perfection as to free growing and habit, being strong and bushy, beginning to bloom quite early in the season and continuing very late. The tube and sepals are brilliant deep scarlet, thick and leathery in texture; the corolla is very large and double, and pure white. Price, 15 cents. . e» Japiter—All lovers of this beautiful class of plants will be pleased to note the addition of another variety of Fuchsias that produced such wonderful large flowers as Phenomenal. Jupiter is a sport from that variety, and is similar to it in every respect except in the coloring of the corolla, which is a beautiful shade of light magenta, with dark crimson veins. Price, 15 cents each. Bland's Sew Striped—The tube and sepals are a g owing crimson, corolla a rich plum-colored purple, reg- ularly and distinctly striped red rose. Price, 15 cen<ts. :€€€€€€€^:€€€€^^:€^:€€€€€€^.^ You will notice the regular price of this set of magni- ficent Fuchsias is $1.00. We offer to send you them Post-paid for 50 cents.
