J, of the

mence sending out in April next their new Seedling FUCHSIAS 

 with White Corollas, both double and single, some striped or 

 variegated Corolhvd Fuchsias, and a Fuchsia with a Purple 

 Corolla. Tho latter Fuchsia (Prince Albert) was purchased of 

 I Banks, Esq., after having proved the flower as possessing un- 

 questionable merits. All the other varieties were purchased of 

 W. S'ory, Esq., of Newton, in the county of Devon, who succeeded 

 in intn icfng a Scarlet Fuchsia with White Corolla, which new 

 feature in this tribe gives one of the greatest novelties that they 

 have had the pleasure of seeing for many years. Mr. Story, 

 being the raiser of this new Class, offered them to Messrs. 

 Henderson for 100 guineas, which offer they accepted. A 

 faithful drawing of three of the varieties here offered has bees 

 taken by Mr. James Andrews, the well-known floricultural and 

 horticultural artist; sketches from which have appeared in Van 

 Houtte's "Flore des Serres," Verschaffelt's "Illustration 

 Horticole," and will also appear in Turner's " Florist," for 

 February. The dwarf, compact, and free flowering habits of the 

 plants will be sure to please every grower of this tribe. 



QUEEN VICTORIA (Story'sj.-Splendid wide sepals, bean 

 tifully refiVxed, of a bright scarlet crimson, and a lovely clear 

 white corolla. Price 10s. 6d. 



PRINCE ALBERT (Banks's).— Scarlet crimson sepals re- 

 flexed, and rich violet corolla. This flower we consider unequalled 

 by any, its reflexing properties beinsr such that either more or 

 less would be a fault; indeed the flower is perfection itself. 



10s. (kl. 



MRS. STORY (Story's).— Fine large scarlet tube, long wide 

 sepals renVxed ; corolla fine substance, and clear white. 105.6*1 



RANUNCUL^FLORA (Story's). -Scarlet sepals and tube, 

 with double white corolla, a flower not having that confused 

 appearance as many of the double varieties are known to possess. 

 This was considered the best of the only two double whir 

 varieties flowered by Mr. Story. 2U, The other double variety 

 we do not appear to have received. 



PERUGiNO (Story's).— Fine large scarlet sepals and tubft 

 with a conspicuous strii I corolla of rose and purple flakes, 

 handsomely reflexed^nd free flowering. 10* 6d. 



EMPRESS EUGENIE (Story's).-Wide reflexed petals of » 

 rosy crimson, the inside of petals liavine a violet shading; 

 corolla hne white. 10s. 6d. 



RAFFAELLE (Story's).— A beautiful variegated corolla wit* 

 crimson sepals well reflexed, and of good substance ; the colour-i 

 the corolla is a rich chocolate flaked with rose, free flower^
