FUCHSIA EXONIENSIS. 
We cannot say much concerning it from personal observation ; but we are 
informed that it blooms freely, and is a very handsome plant. The flowers are 
certainly fine, and of the very best colours. It would appear to bloom best when 
suffered to produce its blossoms at the natural season, and not at all forced forward. 
A cool greenhouse or pit will therefore be most favourable. 
Like all hybrids of this class, it should have a tolerably rich soil, and a rather 
large pot. Either leaf-mould or rotten manure should be freely mixed with loam 
to form a compost for it ; and it will require to be carefully watered in the summer, 
because Fuchsias are apt to be injured by drought at this season. 
Its propagation is effected by cuttings ; and we understand that Messrs. 
Lucombe, Pince, & Co., intend sending it out this month.
