NEW “V-ARIE TIES. FLOR T9449 
COLOMBINE (Reiter, Jr.). This entirely distinct 
fuchsia has medium sized double flowers with 
the widest color contrast yet attained in the 
doubles between tube and petals. The tube and 
sepals are all white and the wide spreading 
petalage is deep Rhodamine Purple (HCC 29/0). 
The base of the 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. 
FLYING CLOUD (Patent applied for) (Reiter, Jr.). 
The first warm air tolerant ‘white’ that is eager 
to grow. The double flowers are large and well 
formed with long recurved pagoda sepals and 
well placed full white petals. The entire flower 
glows with the palest rose tinting which is ac- 
centuated slightly at the base of the petals giv- 
ing the flower a warmth that has been lacking 
in previous ‘all whites.” 
The flowers are well placed along arching 
branches which continue to bloom over an ex- 
tended season. Vigorous, easy and all white! 
Every fuchsia grower must have it. 
Propagation of this variety for sale prohibited. 
GAY TIME. A semi-double of medium to large 
size flowers with an array of jewel-like colors. 
Has a short tube with broad, upturned, frosted 
sepals of fuchsia pink that glisten. The deep 
blue petals are edged and splashed with 
shades of rose. The center petals when fully 
opened are veined carmine emerging from car- 
mine center. A vigorous grower 4 to 6 feet tall. 
Will take the morning sun. 
GUS NIEDERHOLZER. A large double flower of 
veronica blue. The stems and long upcurved 
sepals are of carmine, petals are carmine at 
base of flower, with splashes of rose shades that 
extend to the edge of petals. The longer scal- 
loped inner petals of blue open bell fashion, 
and as the flower matures, the blue fades and 
the entire flower becomes a brilliant shade of 
orchid. A rare coloring and truly a beautiful 
flower. Medium size, lacy and dark green 
foliage. A free blooming and self branching 
plant. May trail. 
MOTH BLUE (Tiret). Double corolla a beautiful 
shade of deep lilac blue; short tube and long, 
broad, upturned sepals deep red—inside of 
sepals of crepe texture. Plant of medium vigor 
and spreading habit; may be grown as a hang- 
ing basket variety. Very large well-shaped 
flowers produced in succession. 
OREGON TRAIL (Hodges). Single hoopskirt co- 
rolla opens to a flat saucer-shape, color is light 
amparo purple (a shade lighter than fuchsia 
Mrs. Desmond). Petals are veined rose-red, spe- 
cially near the base. Tube and upturned sepals 
are crimson. Medium spreading grower, early 
and free flowering. Distinctive flower shape and 
color combination. 
PUGET SOUND (Hodges). Double milky white 
corolla of large center petals and spreading 
smaller ones, the outside overlaid pink on top, 
all petals veined pink at base. Tube and broad 
upturned sepals rosy red. Good grower, spread- 
ing plant with fine foliage—showy as a hang- 
ing basket fuchsia. Very large fluffy flowers. 
For the cool Coastal climate. 
TANGERINE (Tiret). Single corolla orange, chang- 
ing to a rosy shade as the flowers age; long 
tube flesh colored, narrow sepals open green, 
becoming carmine flushed after several days. A 
fuchsia cordifolia hybrid of vigorous upright 
growth, handsome foliage and interesting med- 
ium flowers. One for the fuchsia fan. 
THE DOWAGER (Reiter, Jr.). After having intro- 
duced Reiter’s Giant, Commander in Chief, Titanic 
and Uncle Jules we hesitate to make superior 
claims for The Dowager but we believe this is 
the finest double “red and purple” yet intro- 
duced. It has huge well formed flowers of good 
blue-purple petaluge and a well formed tube 
and recurved sepals of magenta red. 
The growth is vigorous but very branching 
and the foliage, although plentiful and good is 
small. The dense canopy of small leathery 
leaves makes the tremendous flowers seem even 
larger by contrast. The Dowager produces 
more pounds. of flower per plant than any other 
fuchsia we know. An easy willing worker bid- 
ding for top place in the purples. 

Propagation of the 13 new varieties restricted till 
September, 1949. Prices of new introductions out 
of 24-inch pots, $1.00 each. Any 6 for $5.00.
