Raffaelle (Story's), beautiful variegated corolla. 10s. 6d. 



.Mrs. story (Story's), fine white corolla. (In accordance wft 

 Mr. Story's wish, this was named after Mrs. Story, as itwigfe 

 his opinion the finest). 10s. 6VL 



Or if the set of Nine are taken, the price 41. is., incladht 

 SNOWDROP (Story's). This was received from Mr. Storyn 

 possessing a double white corolla, and described by himself ia| 

 others who saw it in flower as a very beautiful variety. Itm 

 the first double white raised by him ; but the plant did not 

 flower in the Wellington Nursery after it was received by Mea& 

 Henderson; and through three stout branches having b« 

 broken off it it did not quite correspond with the descriptfa 

 by Mr. Story and others a few months after to Mr. A, 

 Henderson when at Newton making inquiries respecting the 

 Plants. Consequently no charge will be made for it, but onaiifl 

 be presented with every set ordered.

 the finest of the blue violet corollas. 10s. M.

Messrs. E. O. HENDEI ON & SON having purchased rf 

 the late W. Story, Esq., of Newton, in the county of Dem 

 for ONE HUNDRED GUINEAS, all Seedling Fuchsias with 

 white Corollas, which new feature in this tribe he succeeded 

 in introducing, and in consequence of an advertisement whid 

 appeared in the Gardeners 1 Chronicle some few weeks back Iron 

 Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, & Co., of Exeter, offering two mi 

 Filchsias similar in character to these purchased of the late Mr. 

 Story, and after a written communication with that gentlema 

 it was thought necessary for one of the firm to make further in- 

 quiries about them, and in consequence Mr. Andrew Hejtdeesoj 

 went to Exeter and Newton, where he was informed by a jobbing 

 gardener at Newton that he had received Seven Pounds for 

 them after (as the said jobbing gardener stated) he had bea 

 offered £20 for them by a nurseryman in London, but whai 

 name or address he did not know. 



Messrs. E. G. H. & Son give the above explanation in conse- 

 quence of a great number of their customers throughout the autumn 

 having ofdered plants of them at higher prices than are abow 

 quoted. This reduction is made in consequence of informatioi 

 which they have received that leaves no doubt on their minds bat 

 that those to be sent ouJ|by Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, & Co. are 

 similar in character to the above. 



Messrs. E. G. HENDERSON & SON, of the Wellington R*i 

 Nursery, St. John's Wood, London, beg to inform their patnei 

 and the public that their New Catalogue of Seeds for 1855 is i»» 

 ready, with full descriptions and other information, and will w 

 forwarded post free on application. 



E. G. HENDERSON & SON take this opportunity of stating 

 fnat none but the most popular and improved kinds of VegetaW* 

 Seeds appear in their list, and among the Flower Seeds W 

 those whose beauty and merit are univerally acknowledged 

 together with a carefully selected stock of the principal ne* 

 varieties. They would call particular attention to the following 

 new and choice seeds, which they can confidently recommend:-*-
