California Flowerland FUCHSIAS 
We are proud to offer eight grand new Fuchsias from Victor Reiter, Jr., selected from two 
thousand seedlings flowered in 1945. 
DIADEM. The medium size, semi-double flowers 
have a jewel-like quality. The twisted petals are dark 
peony purple, the tube and sepals creamy white, 
faintly blushed rose. One of the brightest bicolors, that 
will make an ideal pot plant or rounded bush. 
MARIONETTE. An especially delightful color com- 
bination makes this variety one of the most charm- 
ing. The tube and sepals are palest rose, but sepals 
have a thin, brilliant margin of magenta that makes 
a_ fascinating combination with the double pure 
white, powder-puff petals. 
RADIANCE. Because of its beautiful warm coloring, 
this novelty will remain popular for a long time. The 
beautifully formed long flowers have _ vari-colored 
petals of crimson and Tyrian rose. The long waxy tube 
and satiny textured, recurving sepals are rich crimson. 
RED SPIDER. A most unusual, new red-flowered 
basket Fuchsia. The spidery flowers have a long tube 
and exceedingly long and graceful sepals of deepest 
crimson. The long, downward pointed petals are deep 
rose madder veined crimson, giving the effect of all 
crimson flowers. The slender trailing branches, cov- 
ered with good foliage and the startling clusters of 
bloom, make this outstanding for hanging baskets. 
SACRAMENTO. A lovely clear rose pink Fuchsia 
that has exceptional appeal. Single, of good size, the 
pleated petals are enhanced by a thin margin of deep 
carmine. Waxy tubes and gracefully recurved petals 
give a pleasing, refined, yet brilliant quality. 
STARGAZER. Unique, because its flowers are dis- 
played upright, this novelty will make an outstanding 
pot plant or a brilliant, low growing shrub. The tube 
and sepals are soft rose, the petals rose madder 
heavily margined with purple. A profuse bloomer. 
SUNBURST. The first double flowered Fuchsia in 
the ‘‘orange’’ group. Petals are luminous orange- 
crimson, sepals and tube pale carmine. Most of the 
flowers have five sepals, which combined with the 
powder-puff petals, give a dazzling effect. Sunburst 
will undoubtedly be the most discussed Fuchsia in 
1946, and should be in every collection. Vigorous, 
free flowering, brilliant and showy. 
TRUMPETER. This is one of the types that make 
an effective flowering shrub, and will stand more sun 
and heat than most Fuchsias. Flowers are extremely 
long and brilliant, often measuring three and three- 
quarters inches in length, rich glowing geranium lake 
in color. Plants have strong arching growth and 
beautiful foliage. 
PRICE of any of these 1946 Novelty Fuchsias, Each $1.25. COLLECTION, one each of the 8, for $8.00.

BUSH TYPE FUCHSIAS 
AMY LYE. Bears a profusion of single 
coral-orange blossoms with waxy white 
sepals. Strong compact plants, constantly 
in bloom. 
ANDRE LE NOTRE. One of the largest 
doubles, with corolla of deep prune purple, 
and very full, broad crimson sepals. 
AVE MARIA. The nearest to an all 
white Fuchsia yet achieved, so faint is the 
pink flush at the base of the petals that 
the effect of the whole bloom is pure white. 
Unlike other whites, the plant has good 
vigor, is stiff, upright and branching. 
ANNA. The large double flowers are 
globular in form, the outer half of the 
petals is of strongest magenta, while the 
base of petals, the sepals and tube are in- 
tense carmine. Very vigorous, with rich 
foliage and fine habit. 
BLACK PRINCE. One of the finer older 
fuchsias that bloom freely. Large single 
flowers with broad open petals of deep rosy 
pink, bright rose sepals. 
CALIFORNIA. Bright orange flowers of 
good size, with coral pink sepals. Tall, 
vigorous, free flowering; shapely shrub.

let corolla. Free flowering, even in winter.

showiest of all Fuchsias. Giant double flow- 
ers of rich rosy lavender, with sepals bright 
red. A tall, vigorous plant. 
MELODY. New and already popular, be- 
cause of its fine growth and charming new 
coloring. Flowers are large, single, perfectly 
shaped, in pastel tones of pale cyclamen 
purple with prettily recurved sepals of soft 
rose pink. 
MEPHISTO. A grand shrub variety for the 
garden and for pots or tubs. Vigorous, with 
handsome foliage, free flowering over a 
long period. Small flowers in showy clus- 
ters, brilliant carmine, completely cover the 
plant. 
OTTO. Remains popular because of the 
abundance of large purple and crimson 
flowers, and its beauty as a pot plant. 
PASADENA. One of the best of the 
double red and white varieties, extremely 
free flowering, making a grand display on 
compact plants. 
PATTY EVANS. New and beautiful double, 
with snowy white corolla and very long 
white sepals, tinted soft pink on the re- 
verse side. Very tall and vigorous. 
PURPLE CRYSTAL. An outstanding var- 
iety, because of the- unusual -substance of 
the rich purple petals, which are thick and 
glistening, like an ice-plant. The rich red 
sepals are thick and glistening, too. A 
splendid new upright Fuchsia. 
REITER’S GIANT. Flowers are- of im- 
mense size, often three inches across. The 
long double corolla is petunia purple, and 
the broad thick sepals are carmine. Vig- 
orous plant with healthy foliage. 
ROSE OF DENMARK. One of the daintiest 
of all. Small flowers with soft rose petals 
and waxy delicate blush sepals. 
THE CHIEF. A giant double violet and 
carmine Fuchsia of great beauty. Sepals 
are brilliant carmine, and the thickly petal- 
led corolla is deep rich violet..Showy plant 
of fine form and habit. 
VICTORY. An outstanding new variety, 
the huge, semi-double blooms surpass any- 
thing in its color, in size and refinement. 
Recurved sepals are carmine; elegant corolla 
of solid rose madder, giving the effect of 
solid crimson self. 
WINSTON CHURCHILL. A newer variety 
and one of the finest ever introduced. It is 
the nearest to true blue of any of the 
double varieties,—corolla lovely lavender- 
blue, sepals red. Of splendid habit of 
growth, the shapely plants are just covered 
with bloom for a long- season.

Hanging Basket 
FUCHSIAS 
Perhaps in no other way can the 
Fuchsia display all its color and 
beauty as well as when grown in 
hanging baskets or pots. We have 
hundreds of beautifully grown bas- 
kets on display during the flowering 
season. It is easy to grow your own, 
too, starting with 4-inch pots in 
early spring. 
BUTTERFLY. Similar to Muriel, with mag- 
nificent wide flaring petals of brilliant rosy 
red; sepals crimson. 
CASCADE. Favorite since its introduction. 
Of perfect weeping form, branches are cov- 
ered with huge single flowers of exquisite 
pink, salmon and cerise. 
GAY SENORITA. Most appropriately 
named is this charming flower with large, 
single, bell-shaped corolla of deep lilac, 
flushed rose, with a fine light line border- 
ing each petal, like the edge of a dancer’s 
skirt. The long pointed deep red sepals are 
distinctly waved and reflexed. 
HENRI POINCARE. Large single flowers 
with long violet-blue corolla and bright red 
sepals. Very fine. 
MARINKA. Almost self color, with rosy 
scarlet corolla and scarlet sepals. 
LINDISSIMA. Probably the best large 
double flowered Fuchsia for baskets. The 
flowers resemble those of Gypsy Queen; the 
full double corolla is soft rosy lavender, the 
sepals rich rose. 
MRS. VICTOR REITER. Beautiful bright 
green foliage, and flowers of pure crimson, 
with long slender sepals and tube of 
creamy. white. 
MURIEL. Perhaps our most showy basket 
Fuchsia, because of its amazing freedom 
of bloom and pleasing colors. Excellent 
in the garden, too, if given slight sup- 
port. 
NONPAREIL. Very large, showy, semi- 
double flowers of rosy violet blue, with 
sepals of ivory white, are freely produced. 
SAN FRANCISCO. Strong growing plants 
with gracefully arching branches and giant 
single glistening flowers, sepals and long 
thick bright rose, corolla geranium red.
