SPLENDID SEEDLING FUCHSIAS, PANSY, and AQU1LEGIA. 



Wl ROGERS and SON, Seedsmen and Florists, 



VV • beg to offer the following, which they can with the 

 greatest confidence recommend. 



SEEDLING FUCHSIAS.

 Your seedling is a flower of good substance; tube and sepals of 

 a bright rosv red, corolla purple vermilion, pistil very long and 

 stout; a very large and s/. •/ variety."— Gardeners' Chronicle, 

 Aueust 5, 1843. Plants 10*. to. each. 



No. 2, ROGERS'S UITOXETER RIVAL.-" W. R. Sc Son.— 

 In the seedling now sent the tube is stout, with sepals of a rosy 

 carmine, broad and tipped with green ; they expand freely, show- 

 ing the corolla, which is of a rosy purple. This is a very large 

 and bold flower: 1 — Gardeners'' Chronicle, August 19, 1343. Plans

 expai 



In "addition" to the above opinions, W. R. & So v beg to state 



No 1 is a variety of immense size and substance; tne colour 



has a very rich glossy appearance, while the extraordinary length 



of the pistil forms one of the most distinct and splendid kinds 



ever offered. A fine plant was exhibited at the Uttoxeter Loyal 



Horticultural Society, with branches extending from the main 



stem 12 to 18 inches, in full bloom, which shows it to be a free 



bloomer, and not merely blooming at the ends of the branches. 



It gained the first prize, and was much admired. The same 



remarks are applicable to No. 2, except that this gained the first 



prize for the best seedling, and allowed by the judges to be a 



superior variety. No. 3 is a fine variety, and very free bloomer,; 



gained the first prize at the Lichfield Horticultural Society. 



FUCHSIA ROGERSIANA, 2*. 6rf. each. 



The usual discount to the Trade on the above, when not less 

 than six plants are ordered at one time, and on the following 



when not less than three are ordered.

purple, lower petals laced with same, centre pale yellow, with an 

 extremely large eye ; this is of immense size and good form ; a 

 yery distinct and fine sort. Plants 55. each. 



AQUILEGIA GRANDI FLORA.— This is a beautiful plant (a 

 hybrid), flowers the colour of A. glandulosa, but twice the 

 Bize. It has been several times exhibited at the Uttoxeter Royal 

 Horticultural Society, and invariably won the first prize for 

 Herbaceous plants, and particularly admired by all who saw it.
