FUCHSIA CORYMBIFLORA ALBA. 
Apais valuable acquisition to the lovely family of Fuchsias was raised 
on the Continent, and is now in tlie sole possession of Mr. John 
Salter, florist, of William-street, North End, Fulham. We have seen 
his stock of plants, and a floral specimen, but cannot do better than 
give its description as done by Mr. Salter, as follows :— 
** This beautiful variety will be found one of the greatest acquisitions 
ever offered to the floricultural world; its easy culture, robust habit, 
and profusion of large and elegant corymbs of white and crimson 
flowers, cannot fail to render it a universal favourite for the con- 
servatory or horticultural exhibitions. In habit it is more shrubby 
than F. corymbiflora, the growth more vigorous, the leaves broader, 
and of a light glossy green; the racemes quite as large, if not larger ; 
the tube white; sepals well reflexed, showing a bright crimson corolla, 
which gives it a character totally distinct from any other of the 
tribe.” 
This charming variety will be a lovely companion for the parent 
species—I*. corymbiflora, their flowers producing a very striking con- - 
trast. We noticed several plants at Mr. Salter’s, pushing numerous 
side shoots, and it appeared very likely, by stopping the lead, to form 
a bushy plant, and to have it bloom when not more than half a yard to 
two feet high. Some were showing blooming heads, which were about 
the height here stated. 
The flowers, in their infant state, have a slight tinge of flesh colour, 
but this, Mr. Salter informed us, entirely disappears, and it soon 
becomes pure white. The specimen we saw was a clear white. It 
merits a place in every collection of this beautiful tribe. 
Mr. Salter announces that plants will be sent out next autumn in 
strict rotation.
