SEEDLING FUCHSIAS. 



WPAWLEY, of the White Hart Hotel, Bromley, 

 • Kent, begs to inform the Nobility and Gentry that he 

 has purchased the entire Stock of three splendid Fuchsia?, which 

 he intends sending out in April next, at 10*. 6d. per plant. They 

 are considered by competent and practical men to be the best 

 known, and twice the size of any yet in cultivation. 



Queen. — A large Flower, a very free bloomer, and of good 

 habits. Colour, a delicate light Pink, and a beautiful Rosy Ver- 

 milion Corolla. 



Prince ok Wales.— A very large bold Flower, and good sub- 

 stance. Colour, a bright Crimson, with an extraordinary large 

 Violet Corolla. Magnet is also a large long Flower, good sub- 

 stance, habit, and a free bloomer. 



To prevent disappointment, which is too often the case with 

 new Flowers, the public are requested to come and see them 

 before purchasing. Early orders are solicited, as the stock is 

 limited, having broke very sparingly. A specimen of each will 

 be open to any three Seedlings of 1843, grown from young plants, 

 for the sum of 5/. To be exhibited at the West Kent Exhibition, 

 held at Blackhcath, in June next. N.B.— If accepted, notice to 

 be given this month . — Bromley. March % >9. 1844. 



DAHLIAS. 



J KEYNES, Florist, Salisbury.— " Standard of 

 • Pkrfectiov," (Keynes'). — The finest self-coloured Dahlia 

 in the world ! gained the first class prizes at Stonehenge, Wind- 

 sor, Kingston, Surrey Zoological Gardens, and Crown and An- 

 chor, Stockwell ; also the first prize specimens at Stonehenge 

 Floricultural Society, Stockwell. " It is as round as any Dahlia 

 in cultivation; as complete an unbroken circle as could be 

 drawn with the compasses; and as globular in front as possible. 

 It is symmetrical to a hair, and as double as a Ranunculus. It 

 is so remarkable as to be instantly recognised among a thou- 

 sand. Colour, deep crimson. It is the flower of the season, and 

 must be had-"— Gardeners' Gazette. Oct. 14. u The best.grown 

 flower we ever saw, without exception, every requisite to meet 

 the taste of a connoisseur beinp complied with; goodcolour,a 

 honeycomb, regularity of growth and disposition in the leaves, 

 and above all, as complete a rotundity of shape as if it had been 

 cast in a mould. "—Salisbury Herald, Sept. 2, 1843. Plantain 

 May, 1844, 10*. 6d. " Orange Superb (Dodd's), first-rate show- 

 flower, 10$. 6rf. N The specimen sent would grace any stand/' — 

 Glcnny. " Emma Noke" (Dowding's), bluish white, extra fine, 

 indispensable to a first-rate stand, 10*. 6d. Catalogues contain- 

 ing all the fine old varieties and new flowers for the season may 

 be had on application. — Salisbury, March 29* 1844. 



FASTOLFF RASPBERRY. 



JT. WILLMER begs to announce to his Friends and 

 • the Public generally that he is able to supply a few hun- 

 dreds of the above-named Raspberry, in strong Canes, at 40*. 

 per 100, warranted to be the genuine kind, packing included, 

 with carriage paid to London ; or in less quantity, price in pro- 

 portion. Fine showing sort of CARNATIONS and PICOTEES, 

 in 12 kinds, one pair of each, 24$. AURICULA.— Strong Plants 

 of showing sorts, 12 plants, in 12 sorts, including basket and 

 packing, the selection left to J. T. W., who possesses a large 

 healthy stock.— Sunbury Nurseiy, Middlesex, March 21, 1844.

T PEARSON, Nurseryman, Hampstead - road, 

 • London, respectfully begs to inform the Cultivators of 

 PETUNIAS and VERBENAS that the following SEEDLINGS 

 will be found well worth their notice. The Petunias were 

 exhibited at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Regent's Park, in July 

 last, and were much admired for their fine rich colour and size of 

 flower; they were also noticed in the Chronicle by Professor 

 Lindlev. The Verbenas flowered too late for Exhibition ; they 

 will prove equal to the desciiption given of them; they were 

 much approved of (and orders given) by all that have seen them 

 in flower. Plants will be sent out the first week in April. A 

 remittance requested from unknown correspondents.

 beautiful Sky-blue; habit strong, with a spike of flower in the

 Good Plants, each, 3/. 3*. 



ALBA MULTIFLORA.— Colour very pure white, with some- 

 times a delicate pink stripe; petals thick, cupped, and round.

 give the plant the appearance of bearing racemes of flowers. 

 Strong plants, 1/. 11*. 6d.

 LING FUCHSIAS, which he intends sending out early in April; 

 they are all very distinct and beautiful varieties.

 with crimson corolla ; of excellent close habit. This very distinct 

 variety gained the seedling prize at the West Kent Floricultural 

 Exhibition, Sept. 6, 1843. For its character see Gardeners* Ca-

 as shown by Mr. Branscombe. Price 7s. 6d. 



2. FAIR HELEN.— Tube and sepals white, corolla scarlet; a. 

 very neat Flower, of good habit, exhibited at the Surrey Zoologi- 

 cal Gardens, at the September show, and universally admired. 5«.
