« Your seedling Fuchsia is by far the finest hybrid we have seen, 
the Aes being three inches in length, with the tube and sepals 
pea saree SOE and the petals of a rosy purple. If, 
‘ou say, it i g grower and a free bloomer, it will prove 
a altel ailaition to ‘this peautiful genus.” 
‘As a proof of its being a most profuse bloomer, Y. & Co. hada 
plant in flower Sept. 15, 1842, on one branch of which were 
upwards of 200 blooms, ee a splendid oiyece for the green-
