a cool but dry frame pit through'winter, and'turn them into the open bed the end 

 of March following. By this treatment I keep a constant supply, and having a 

 rich loamy soil, on a dry subsoil, I grow them vigorously. I have the double 

 white and double purple kinds. Ci.buicus. 



NOTICES OP NEW FLOWERS. 



FUCHSIAS. 



W. DAVENPORT. 



No 1. is a good formed flower,' with a rich crimson tube, rose sepals, and deep 

 violet corolla, handsome, but too much like others out. 



No. 2, lilac tube, pink sepals, much reflexed ; corolla rose. A large fine 

 flower, well deserving cultivation. 



ANON. 



A, very light tube, nearly white ; sepals pink, much reflexed; corolla rich 

 rose. A very beautiful flower. 



B and C, rich red tube and sepals ; corolla crimson. Large flowers, but not 

 distinct enough from kinds already out. 



A KENT MAN. 



No. 3, pink tube, and sepals same colour with white tips; corolla rose. Very 

 distinct and pretty. The others 1, 2, 4 and 5, are like other kinds out. 



REV. A. BRECKON. 



Seedling. Flesh-coloured tube; sepals flesh with white tips; corolla rosy- 

 red. A very distinct and beautiful flower. 



CALCEOLARIA. 



3. BARKWAY, EAST DEREHAM. 



Your seedling of 1843 is a large and very beautiful flower, the rich markings 

 in contrast with the clear ground colour render it strikingly distinct. The only 

 defect from perfection in form is two small indentations at the lower part of the 

 flower. It would be an acquisition to any collection. 



DAHLIAS. 



C. HIBBERT, PAISLEY. 



No. 1. Bright yellow, fine-cupped petals, crown up, and of regular form. A 

 deep, round, fine-formed flower. 



W. GOWIN, NORWICH. 



Seedling. The flower is large, but the petal is defective in form, and flimsy 

 in its character. It is not of sufficient merit to be sold out. 



LUCY. 



No. 1. The tipped seedling sent is a very fine flower of its class. Groundcolour 

 rich red, tip a clear white, cupped, and well up in the centre. 



No. 2. White ground with yellow edges; a beautifully distinct flower; the 

 only deficiency is, the petal is rather flat. 



VERBENA, 



W. B. 



Seedling. A beautiful rosy-vermilion, large heads, and the most fragrant one 

 we have had in our possession. Its vigorous growth, with the profusion of 

 flowers, give it additional recommendations. 



R. STANIFORTH. 



No. 1. — Rich red, yellow eye, fine truss, but not much different from others 

 out.
