PEARCE & CO.—Plant CAPE FUCHSIA ~ 68 Fhygelius Capensis- Seldom have we seen a plant so charming and free-blooming. During our past dry summer it was never out of flower, while geraniums alongside of it were perishing. Plants barely a few inches high bear from 10 to 20 bold, long spikes, completely crowded with showy scarlet drooping flowers, persistently produced from May until late autumn, when they can be brought in for winter blooming.

It is also a good bedding plant, grown singly or in masses; does well in poor soil, moist or dry, and will probably prove hardy. Each, 25c. FERNS. -No collection of plants is complete without ferns. The selection we offer embraces the best varieties of this beauti- ful class of plants, whose diversity and gracefulness of foliage make them peculiarly fitted to combine with other fine plants and flowers. The popularity of ferns has increased wonderfully in the past few years, and they are now indispensable in all choice floral decorations, and are especially valued for ferneries for room and table decoration. Where there is moisture and shade most of the varieties succeed well when planted out of doors; they delight in a light soil, mixed with sand and peat or leaf mould. Good drainage must be provided, as stagnant water is fatal to success. 69 Adiantum Cuneatum {Maiden Hair).—This fine species is more generally grown than any other, and is one of the most beautiful of all ferns. Each, 25c. 70 Pteris Tremula {Shaking Fern).—One of the finest ferns for house decoration, growing very rapidly, and throwing up large, handsome fronds; makes magnificent specimens; easily grown and very popular. Each, 25c. % 71 Microlepia Hirta Cristata.—We have a large stock of this admirable fern, which enables us to offer it at a low price. We know of no other fern that grows so quickly. Sma
