PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 
FUCHSIAS—General Collection. 
Our collection contains some new varieties which we have 
never offered before. It will also be noticed that a large 
number of the kinds named have double white corollas. This 
will make the set all the more desirable, as that is a feature 
always most sought after in Fuchsias. The letter D or S 
placed after each variety indicates whether it has a double or 
single corolla, D signifies double, and S single.
