FUCHSIAS 
Please note that our fuchsias offered at wholesale are well-rooted plants grown in 2]/2” 
pots (not 2” or 214” pots, but 21/2’ pots). It costs us more in time, materials and space to 
raise and ship 2!/,” stock, but it pays. When they reach you, our 2!/,.” pot plants are ready 
for 4” or larger pots. They are stronger, better grown plants that come along faster and sell 
earlier. 
Our fuchsia plants are clean. No cyclamen mites, two-spotted mites, red spiders, white 
flies, mealy bugs or other bugs on the stock we ship. We use the latest specific insecticides, 
properly applied. This refers not only to fuchsias, but to other plants listed here—all from 
22” pots and all clean stock. 
Most of the plants we raise are grown for regular yearly repeat orders from well known 
nurseries on the coast. If you want to see why, we suggest you mail us a trial order. Just 
a small order—the minimum $5.00 worth. Chances are good that you will order again THIS 
season. 
1950 INTRODUCTIONS BY HODGES AND TIRET 
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Hodges of Pacific Grove have again appointed us as their exclu- 
sive wholesale grower and distributor, and we are equally pleased to be able to offer the 
new fuchsias of Mr. Horace M. Tiret of San Francisco. 
We are listing their new seedlings alphabetically in order to make it easier to compare 
them by description. 
Merle and Ray Hodges raise their new fuchsias in their well known Pacific Grove Fuchsia 
Gardens, from where the 1949 varieties Junior Miss, Oregon Trail and Puget Sound originated. 
Horace Tiret is, of course, already well known for his introductions of former years, such 
as Rubeo, Santa Cruz, Jack Shahan and Yuletide; not to forget his new ones of the 1949 season 
we just mention two—Bouffant and Moth Blue. 
Price Schedule is at end of descriptions, next page. 
BLUE BONNET (Hodges)—Large single, flaring, corolla light at base, deepening to purple- 
blue, prominently veined red. Medium tube and long, broad, upturned sepals bright red. 
As the flower matures the petals open flat. Of vigorous growth and free blooming. Beau- 
tifully displayed in a hanging basket at the Hodges’ famous fuchsia garden. 
DON PERALTA (Tiret)—Very large flower, varies from single to double, usually semi-double 
corolla, with a long tube and long spreading sepals. Coloring much like the variety Anna. 
However, Don Peralta is a vigorous grower and should prove to be an excellent upright 
growing fuchsia, specially for the warmer sections—it has done very well with us in warm 
Palo Alto. 
DU BARRY (Tiret)Patent applied for—Double corolla changes from purple to fuchsin, with 
smaller outside petals either entirely flesh pink, or heavily marbled with that color. Tube 
and broad, reflexed, sepals softest pink. Strong upright grower with leathery leaves and 
large flowers of distinct coloring.
