are tried over again a second time, and sometimes even a third 
year, so that none of the varieties sent out in the spring were 
raised later than 1864, and some of them in 1863. He thus 
ensures, as far as he can, that his name as a raiser is main¬ 
tained. 
Day Dream (Fig. 1) is a flower of remarkable size as to 
its corolla; looking at it, one would almost fancy it to be a 
double-corolla’d flower, but this appearance entirely arises 
from the remarkably large petals, and their very great sub¬ 
stance ; the colour of the tube and sepals is bright crimson, and 
of the corolla, lavender with crimson base. Dizzy Hexliam 
(Fig. 2) is a beautifully symmetrical flower, the sepals recurved 
and beautifully formed; the corolla, of a deep rich purple, very 
dark, with crimson feathering at the base; altogether this is a 
very telling flower. Catherine Parr (Fig. 3) is a beautiful white- 
tubed flower, with bright crimson corolla, and very fine flower¬ 
ing; while Lacly Dumbello (Fig. 4) is a very large and bold-look- 
ing variety; the tube and sepals crimson, the corolla very large, 
the petals of great substance, of a bright mauve colour, probably 
not so free-flowering as the others, but very remarkable in ap¬ 
pearance. Altogether we believe that these flowers will fully 
maintain the reputation of their distinguished raiser. 
The cultivators of Fuchsias would do well to try the effect of 
Standen’s manure* on those plants which they grow for exhi¬ 
bition ; we have tried it on other plants and have found its 
effects very beneficial, and we have heard that it is equally so 
with Fuchsias, giving great vigour to the plants and size to the 
flowers.
