LA BIANCA (Tiret) Patent applied for—Single corolla white, short tube and long upturned 
sepals white, tipped green. Medium growth, deep green foliage, may be good in a-hang- 
ing basket. Medium large, well shaped flowers are quite heat-tolerant and may, at times, 
have a slight pink flush on the tube and at the base of sepals and petals. The first “all- 
white’ single fuchsia. 
MAXINE ELIZABETH (Tiret)—Single bell-shaped corolla near-white at very base, deepening 
to rose red toward orange-flushed petal edges. Thick waxy tube; broad and long, upturned, 
sepals of heavy substance, flushed pink on outside, salmon pink on inside. Strong upright 
grower with masses of large flowers. Showy, glowing color—stands full sun in the fog belt 
and is heat-tolerant in warmer sections. 
MERLE HODGES (Hodges)—Double large fluffy corolla soft powder blue, lightly veined and 
outside petals flushed fuchsia pink. Some of the petals are scalloped. Medium tube and 
broad, upturned sepals are rosy red. Low, spreading bush or best displayed, as at Pacific 
Grove, in a hanging baskets Mr. and Mrs. Hodges consider this to be their finest variety. 
Best in the fog belt or during cool months in warmer sections. 
MISS CALIFORNIA (Hodges)—Single to semi-double white, faintest pink glow inside corolla, 
light pink veining near base of petals. Short tube and broad, long pointed upturned sepals 
medium pink, shaded deeper pink. While there are a number of pink-and-white fuchsias 
in commerce, Miss California will top most of them, with its beautiful two-toned pink buds 
and great abundance of medium large flowers. Creates a marvelous display in a hanging 
basket, as shown by the Hodges in Pacific Grove. 
SWINGTIME (Tiret)—Double corolla milky white, slight pink veining at base of petals. Tube 
and short, upturned sepals shiny red, inside of sepals rose red and of crepe texture. Good 
grower of branching habit, early and free blooming, with large flowers having a prominent, 
spreading corolla. Should be one of the top hanging basket fuchsias as Swingtime has 
performed excellently in our warm Palo Alto climate.
