THE FLORIST. 
9 
SEEDLING FUCHSIAS RAISED BY W. H. STORY, ESQ. 
WE have received 
some fine seedling 
varieties of this 
beautiful flower, 
two of which have 
been selected for 
the accompany¬ 
ing illustration. 
We regret that 
circum¬ 
stances, 
which 
we need 
not de¬ 
tail, should have 
prevented our giv¬ 
ing coloured draw¬ 
ings instead of a 
woodcut; but, as 
specimens of the 
improvement in 
shape effected by 
Mr. Story, we 
think the figures 
will be acceptable 
to our readers. 
They are ver)^ dis¬ 
tinct in colour, with 
no poverty of any 
kind about them, 
but much richness. 
The texture smooth and glossy on 
the surface, and, from their peculiar 
and elegant form, they shew to the 
greatest advantage their compact and 
deep violet-coloured corollas. Their 
sepals are a bright scarlet crimson ; 
and altogether they are very desirable 
varieties.
