NEW VARIETIES 


for 1949 
We are very pleased to offer the following 13 new varieties of Fuchsias for the season of 1949. 
Some of these are very outstanding. It would not behoove us to choose for you from among them 
this season. By all means everyone should try this outstanding new white introduciion, Flying 
Cloud. Almost two lifetimes have gone into its development. 
BABY DOLL (Reiter, Jr.). We offer this fuchsia 
for the connoisseur who is willing to make can 
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 petal- 
age of Amethyst Violet (HCC 35/1). The base 
of the petals is white and as the flower matures 
the area of white gradually advances and fades 
the Amethyst Violet to pale orchid. 
A restrained grower with medium to small dark 
green flossy foliage. For expuisite quality and 
delicacy the crispy flowers of Baby Doll should 
appeal to knowledgeable collectors. 
BLUE PENDANT (Brown). At last we have a 
double flowered trailer in the “‘light blue” fuchsia 
group. 
The medium sized double globular flowers are 
pale Campanula Violet (HCC 37/3) and the 
reflexed pale Tyrian Rose (HCC 24/3) sepals 
are tipped white. 
The growth is branching and wiry, the foliage 
is small and prolific and the plant promises 
great things in hanging pots. 
For those who like light “blue” fuchsias—and 
who doesn't?—Blue Pendant is the discovery of 
the year. 
CLARION (Reiter, Jr.). A vigorous upright grower 
with heat-resistant leathery foliage and quanti- 
ties of glowing double Rose Bengal flowers of 
more glistening intensity than the 1942 variety, 
Crescendo! 
The flowers are medium to large with plenty of 
incurved petals of deepest Rose Bengal (HCC 
25/0) and with nicely recurved sepals of pure 
Crimson (HCC 22/0). A new shade in the 
magenta-red group. 
A strong rapid grower that should flourish even 
under difficult conditions. A sparkling perfectly 
formed flower on a vigorous easy bush. 

CREOLE 
CREOLE (Schnabel 3-59-36). Introducer’s own 
description: “A new color in fuchsia. The large 
double corolla (petals) is ox blood with over- 
tones of maroon. Deeper in color than the variety 
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.” 
“Of restrained growth. Creole can be grown as 
a short hanger. Garden Tested.” 
First prize winner as an undisseminated seedling 
in the double class, San Francisco Flower 
Show 1948.
