NEW 1948 INTRODUCTIONS FROM THE PRIVATE 
HYBRIDIZING GARDENS OF THE LATE 
MR. G. NIEDERHOLZER 
Blue Flame. A beautiful large single 
flower of fine form. Short tube with 
very long upright sepals of crimson. 
The wide spread, overlapping petals 
are campanula violet with a blue tinge, 
very narrow at the base, flaring out bell 
fashion with flame like streaks of pale 
rose madder, veined with deep rose 
starting at the base of the flower. Vig- 
orous, strong upright grower. 
Nancy. Named after Mr. Niederhol- 
zer’s grand daughter Nancy. A single 
flower, medium size, of unusual form 
with short tube; the carmine cycla- 
mentype sepals of this flower amazingly 
turn straight up, and are more than 
twice the size of the flower. The flaring 
petals are phlox pink having a fan 
shaped splash of rose madder at base 
of flower. Combined with long stamens 
and pistil, this flower reminds one of a 
dancing lady. 
Glorious. This is the most beautiful 
trailing fuchsia of a brilliant rose shade 
yet introduced. The flower is large and 
of the Muriel type. It has a long thick 
white tube; curved sepals are white on 
top, neyron rose underneath. The pet- 
als are rose bengal. Good foliage, a 
free bloomer and a natural trailer. 
Derived the name Glorious from re- 
marks made by people who have seen 
this plant in bloom. 
PAGE FOUR 
San Rafael. A large double flower 
of a brilliant color hard to describe. 
Has a short fat tube flushed with car- 
mine; broad upturned sepals are car- 
mine; the petals are a brilliant magenta 
with shades of vermilion at base. The 
flowers are of exceptional substance. A 
strong upright grower with a stiff and 
heavy stem which supports the weight 
of the heavy flowers. 
Sunshine. A bushy type plant with an 
abundance of bright medium sized sin- 
gle flowers. Tube pale rose and sepals 
pale tyrian rose tipped with pale green. 
The petals are bright geranium lake 
shaded with a rose carmine margin 
and are often serrated. Stamens are 
dark maroon with a long yellow pistil, 
making a very beautiful and different 
coloring. Named Sunshine for the bril- 
liant effect of the many flowers. A good 
pot plant. 
Susan. Named after Mr. Niederholzer’s 
grand daughter Susan. A truly pastel 
double having the palest shades yet in 
a flower of its type. Tube is ivory white; 
the sepals of pale rose are curved up- 
wards. The petals are serrated and 
pale blue with a tinge of pale campan- 
ula violet splashed with mauve. This 
is a medium sized plant with rather 
small leaves which show this most de- 
lightful flower to good advantage.
