FUCHSIA RACEMOSA. 



A most distinct species collected by. Mr. Thomas Hogg, in St. Domingo, 1872, but now for the 

 first time offered for sale, we believe, either here or in Europe. It was exhibited in full bloom at 

 New York Horticultural Society's Show in June of 1876, and attracted general admiration. It 

 grows not more than 18 inches high, forming a round bush, every shoot being terminated with a 

 raceme of orange scarlet, wax-like flowers. It is of the easiest culture, and will undoubtedly 

 become a standard plant, both for the greenhouse in spring, or for bedding out in partial shade in 

 summer. As a market plant, from its distinct and beautiful appearance, it will have few equals. 

 (See cut.) Price, $1.50 each; $12.00 per dozen.
