Everblooming Fuchsia 
FUCHSIA RICCARTONI 
“Scarlet Beauty” 
Plant Patent No. 440 
Cole's Glorious New Introduction 
While there have been many new plants introduced 
in the past few years, there have been none which 
have caused the sensation created by Cole’s Fuchsia 
“Scarlet Beauty." 
As soon as it became rumored that Cole was going 
to introduce this plant, eminent horticulturists from 
all over the country came to Painesville and without 
exception, marveled at its beauty. 
While neither words nor printer's ink can do justice 
to this glorious plant, you can picture to yourself a 
plant which has withstood the rigors of our northern 
Winters for the past twelve years, attaining at matur¬ 
ity a height of 3 feet and having from 20 to 30 stems, 
which, from the middle of June until cut down by the 
severe frosts of late Autumn, are covered with 1 *3 inch 
flowers of rose-red with corolla of mulberry purple. 
Our plants are guaranteed to bloom the 
first year. 
Easy to grow. Simple cultural instructions fur¬ 
nished. One plant by count produced over S000 
blooms in 1939.
