4” Pot Size (Descriptions are by the hybridizers) 
FLYING CLOUD (Patent applied for) (Reiter ) 
The first warm air tolerant that is eager to grow in the double white class. Flowers are large 
and well formed with long recurved pagoda sepals and well placed white petals. Entire 
flower glows with the palest rose tinting which is accentuated slightly at the base of the 
petals, giving the flower a warmth that has been lacking in previous “all whites’. The 
flowers are placed well along arching branches which continue to bloom over an extended 
season. Vigorous, easy and all white. 
CLARION (Reiter ) 
Vigorous upright grower with heat-resistant leathery foliage and quantities of glowing 
double rose bengal flowers of more glistening intensity than Crescendo. Petals incurved, 
nicely recurved sepals of pure crimson. A new shade in the magenta-red group. Strong 
rapid grower under all conditions. 
COLUMBINE (Reiter ) 
Entirely distinct fuchsia has medium sized double flowers with the widest color contrast yet 
attained in the doubles between tube and petals. Tube and sepals are all white and the wide 
spreading petalage is deep Rhodamine purple. Base of petals, like the tube and sepals is 
white, making a clear cut color division in the bi-color flowers. In addition the flower 
petals are flat spreading giving the flower more width and less depth. Unlike any other 
fuchsia. 
THE DOWAGER (Reiter) 
This is the finest double red and purple yet produced. Huge well formed flowers of good 
blue purple petalage and a well formed tube and recurved sepals of magenta red. Growth is 
vigorous but very branching and the foliage, although plentiful and good, is small. The 
dense canopy of leaves makes the tremendous flowers seem even larger by contrast. The 
Dowager produces more pounds of flowers per plant than any other fuchsia. An easy, 
willing worker bidding for top place in the purples. 
BABY DOLL (Reiter ) 
This fuchsia is for the connoisseur who is willing to make an effort to obtain supreme 
results. Double flowered variety of the Sea Foam-Seventeen type but with the most deli- 
cately colored flowers we have seen. The medium sized flowers have a white tube and white 
reflexed sepals. Double petals have white base and as the flower matures the area of white 
gradually advances and fades the amethyst violet to pale orchid. Restrained grower with 
medium to small dark green glossy foliage. 
BLUE PENDANT (Brown ) 
Double flowered Trailer in the “light blue” group. Medium sized double globular flowers 
are pale campanula violet and the reflexed sepals are pale tyrian rose, tipped white. Growth 
is branching and wiry, foliage small and prolific. 
CREOLE (Schnabel ) 
A new color in fuchsias. Large double corolla is ox blood with overtones of maroon. Deeper 
in color than Anna, the rich hue is enhanced by surrounding petals of darkest crimson, 
matching the long tube and sepals in color. The four center petals are extended beyond 
the bulk of the petalage in mature flowers. First prize winner as an undisseminated 
seedling in the double class, San Francisco Flower Show, 1948. 
JUNIOR MISS ( Hodges ) 
Double blue-mauve corolla of many spreading petals, shorter outside ones splashed with 
fuchsia pink. Tube and broad upturned sepals deep red. Medium high, fairly bushy grower, 
good size flowers, blooms in abundance. A showy garden or large pot-plant fuchsia. 
OREGON TRAIL (Hodges ) 
Single hoop-skirt corolla opens to a flat saucer shape, color light amparo purple. Petals are 
veined rose red, especially near the base. Tube and upturned sepals crimson. Medium 
spreading grower, early and free flowering. Distinctive flower shape and color combination. 
PUGET SOUND (Hodges) 
Huge double milky white corolla of large center petals and spreading smaller ones, the 
outside overlaid pink on top, all petals veined at base. Tube and broad upturned sepals 
rosy red. Good grower, spreading plant with fine foliage—showy as a hanging basket 
fuchsia. Very large, fluffy flowers.
