EMBELLISHMENTS. 



ARTICLE I. 



No. 1.— FUCHSIA PRIMA DONNA.— Harrison's Hybrid Fuchsia. 



This fine variety we raised from seed saved from Fuchsia splendens, 

 impregnated by F. fulgens. The plant is of a strong erect habit, 

 branching freely, and produces its blooms profusely. The orange 

 colour of the petals, bordered with deep crimson, is quite novel. We 

 recommend it as one of the most conspicuous and best of the light 

 varieties. 



No. 2.— FUCHSIA EXONIENSIS. 



This fine variety was raised by Mr. Pince, nurseryman, of Exeter, 

 from seed gathered from F. cordifolia, impregnated by F. globosa 

 (see advertisement in the present Number), and is one of the finest 

 hybrids of its class, well deserving a place in every collection of this 

 most interesting and beautiful class of flowers. 



To grow the plants well, they require a rich loam in a rough state, 

 having a very free drainage of broken pots, and then some lumps of 

 turf, &c. Requiring a good quantity of water, which should be soft, 

 a free drainage is essential. They show to the best advantage when 

 trained so as to have a single main stem, retaining a due proportion 

 of branches.
