Here we have to go slow, and after dropping the seed in the ground, the spot must bo tenderly cared for till the leaflets appear, to be followed by the alowly developing plant and gently unfolding bud. Many people have "no patience with seeds." Sucb, therefore, ought to buy a few potted plants for the house; and we know of nothing better than the wonderful Fuchsia "Phenomenal." Who wouldn't like flowers three inches in diameter! This Fuohsia is a ver3' free bloomer, and is a mixture of bright carmine and violet, shading to purple. We recently read of a lady who had one upon which were thirty fullblown rlowers and seventy buds at one time. Viok deserves a medal for intro-, ducing suoh a wonderful plant. But, then, that lirm is always doing something which nobody else thinks of - always original. This year, with Floral Guide, which costs 10 cents, lie sends a due bill for len cents worth of eeeds.
