FUCHSIA, Var. (Rosea Alba.) 



This very neat and pretty variety came into our possession last 

 autumn, and this spring has bloomed very freely. We do not know 

 by whom it was raised, but it was, we were informed, raised last season 

 in Norfolk. The plant is a free grower and vigorous. When the 

 flowers first expand, they are white, but gradually take a beautiful 

 flesh-coloured tinge. It is an interesting addition to this lovely 

 family of plants. Having paid considerable attention to impregnating 

 the best kinds we previously possessed with F. Corymbiflora, Cordifolia, 

 Fulgcns, &c, we have raised from the seed obtained a considerable 

 number of plants. Those we raised last year are now in profuse 

 bloom, and the great and beautifully distinct varieties produce a very 

 delightful contrast. It is an additional interest to them that they 

 will continue to bloom, either grown in the greenhouse or open 

 border, till November, embracing a floral season of eight months.

 or ten in each. When the terminal flower spike appears, then 

 numerous lateral ones from the branches are produced, altogether
