A Fragile Dresden 
BABY DOLL (Reiter, Jr.) We offer this fuchsia for the 
conoisseur who is willing to make an effort to obtain supreme 
results. 
Baby Doll is a double flowered variety of the Sea Foam- 
Seventeen type but with the most delicately colored flowers 
we have seen. The medium sized ‘double flowers have a white 
tube and white reflexed sepals: with a’ double petalage of 
Amethyst Violet (HCC 35/1). The base of the petals is white 
and as the flower matures the area of white gradually ad- 
vances and fades the Amethyst Violet to pale orchid. 
A restrained grower: with medium to small dark green 
glossy foliage. For exquisite quality. and delicacy the crispy 
flowers of Baby Doll should appeal to knowledgeable 
collectors. bn
