ARTICLE I. 



FUCHSIA, var. QUEEN VICTORIA. 



This very fine variety was raised by us last year, and of its class far 

 exceeds any other we have seen. It is of vigorous growth, and a 

 profuse bloomer ; its beautiful waxy- white tubes, and sepals tipped 

 with green, in contrast with the rich colour of the corolla, are very 

 strikingly exhibited, and produce a pretty effect. 



TROP^EOLUM LOBBIANUM. 



Mr. Lobb, the collector of Messrs. Veitchs', of Exeter, discovered 

 this handsome species in Columbia, and plants of it bloomed during 

 several months of the last summer in their nursery. It is an herba- 

 ceous twining perennial, which grows vigorously, and blooms very 

 freely ; it is one of the prettiest plants we have seen, well meriting 

 to be a companion of the other beautiful kinds, and as it does best 

 when trained to a wire, or similar trellis, is suited for exhibiting at 

 the shows.
