230 ON RAISING FUCHSIAS TO FLOWER THE SAME SEASON. 



fine effect. The former kinds we possessed in this country, viz., 

 Nolana prostrata, atriplicifolia, &c, are annuals. This, hesides being 

 equally beautiful in flowers, is a shrubby plant. It deserves a place 

 in every greenhouse, and no doubt will be an ornamental one for the 

 flower-bed during summer. 



There are in Chile and Peru numerous kinds of the originally- 

 named genus Nolana, many of them of great beauty, but varying 

 greatly in structure and appearance ; it has, therefore, been deemed 

 best to divide them, and classify so as to form several genera, and for 

 the present arranged as follows : — 



Nolanas (prostrate annuals). — N. prostrata, tenella, inflata, spa- 

 thulata, and coronata. 



Alonas (shrubby, or half shrubby).— A. ccelestis, shrubby; A. 

 rostrata, shrubby ; A. obtusa, shrubby ; A. glandulosa, shrubby ; A. 

 carnosa, shrubby; A. tomentosa, shrubby, having white flowers; 

 A. revoluta, herbaceous, but at the lower part shrubby ; A. baccata, 

 an erect annual, flowers yellow ; A. longifolia, annual, appears to be 

 somewhat succulent. 



Dolias (erect, shrubby, branching plants). — D. vermiculata and 

 D. Salsoloides. 



Soremas (flowers bell shaped, plant annual). — S. paradoxa, (sy- 

 nonym, N. paradoxa) ; S. atriplicifolia (synonym, N. atriplicifolia). 



Aplocarya (flowers bell shaped, plant shrubby). — A. divaricata, a 

 stiff branching shrub, with small flowers. 



What has hitherto been introduced into this country are pretty, 

 and, when the entire of the above are obtained, they will be a valuable 

 acquisition for the greenhouse, or open beds in summer.

ON RAISING FUCHSIAS, AND TO FLOWER THEM THE SAME 



SEASON. 



BY MR. SMEE) GARDENER, OF QOSF1ELD HALL, IN ESSEX. 



Observing an article in this month's Number of your useful Cabinet 

 by an Amateur, requiring a few hints relative to raising and flowering 

 Fuchsias in one season, I am induced herewith to communicate the 

 mode of proceeding I have successfully adopted in raising and bloom- 

 ing seedlings of this beautiful and interesting tribe of plants.
