1940 INTRODUCTIONS 
We are pleased to be able to introduce to the fuchsia 
world the following fine varieties from the garden of 
Mr. G. Niederholzer, famous as the originator of Sun¬ 
set, Blue Moon, Pewee Rose and other fine fuchsias. 
Shown in the Hall of Flowers on Treasure Island 
and at meetings of many garden clubs in the Bay re¬ 
gion, the following five fuchsias are distinct from 
any now in the trade. Descriptions by Mr. Nieder¬ 
holzer. 
BLACK PRINCESS (G. Niederholzer)—The very 
darkest purple, wide open single corolla; red sepals. 
Greatly admired at the Hall of Flowers. 
FIREFLY (G. Niederholzer)—Distinct because of its 
almost luminous vivid red color, calix and corolla 
of the same tone. Most prolific bloomer, great flower 
clusters on a strong plant. 
NEW FASCINATION (G. Niederholzer)—Superior 
to the old one; much larger, more brilliant rose pink 
flowers; very floriferous. A strong plant with stiff 
branches and fine foliage. 
PRINCESITA (G. Niederholzer) — An excellent 
basket variety with white tube and long, gracefully 
curved sepals, deep rose corolla. A flower of ex¬ 
quisite shape and abundant bloom. 
PINK BALLOON (G. Niederholzer)—So named for 
its big pink balloon shaped buds. A very large 
flower with fluffy white corolla. In spite of the size, 
the flowers are produced very freely. 
Plants of these five new fuchsias at $1.00 each in 4 
inch pots or $4.50 for the set. Strong plants in 2^/4 
inch pots, 75c each, five for $3.35. 
SPECIAL NOTICE: For those who admired and 
want a start of a few of the other novelties exhibited 
by Mr. Niederholzer, we will be able to supply a 
very limited number of plants at 75c each, 4 inch 
pots; 50c each in 2% inch pots. 
MRS. VICTOR REITER (Reiter, Sr.)—Corolla pure 
crimson, fading to white at extreme base, long tube 
and sepals creamy white, occasionally tinted pale 
rose. Considered the most perfect of the many red 
and white bicolors. Weeping habit. Highly recom¬ 
mended.
