SCRIPTION OF FUCHSIA ST. CLA 
This magnificent Fuchsia was raised by Mr. Sesetiah gardener 
to Colonel Harcourt, at St. Clare, Isle of Wight, from whom 
Messrs. YouELL obtained the entire stock. In May last, it was 
ed to Dr. Hates ay for his opinion, which will be found in 
the et Gaslent ers’ Chronicle’? of the 14th of that month, as follows : 
“Your Seedling Fuchsia is by far the finest hybrid we have seen, 
the ioweTS being three ae in scare with the tube and sepals 
of a bright carmine colour, the petals of a rosy purple. If, as 
you say, it is a strong gr ee anda ree bloomer, it will prove a 
valuable addition to this beautiful genus.” 
As a proof of its being a nent geOrTisal Sissi Y. & Co. had 
plant in flower Sept. 15, 1842, on one branch of which rare
