1949 INTRODUCTIONS BY CLEM SCHNABEL 
We are also presenting four fuchsias by Mr. Clement Schnabel of San Fran- 
cisco who is fast becoming famous-for the size and quality of his blooms and his 
artistic Fuchsia arrangements. An active member of the American Fuchsia 
Society, hybridizing has been his hobby for three years, and the results have been 
most gratifying. These are his descriptions of his 1949 introductions. 
Creole 3-59/36. A new color break in 
fuchsias. ‘The large double corolla is Ox 
Blood red with overtones of maroon. 
Deeper than Anna, the rich hue is en- 
hanced by surrounding petals of darkest 
crimson matching the long tube and 
sepals. The four center petals are ex- 
tended beyond the corolla on long 
stamens in the mature flowers. Of re- 
strained, woody growth, Creole can be 
grown as a hanger. Garden tested. 
lst Prize winner in the double class 
San Francisco Flower Show 1948. 
Debutante (4-84/15). Debutante is 
being distributed direct from the field 
without further trial. The small flowers 
are semi-double pink self on the 17 type. 
Corolla tube and sepals are pale Rose 
Madder 23/2 with a lavender cast, ap- 
pearingwin thes balleeUhesplanteise ot 
medium height, tends to be self-branch- 
ing and free flowering. 
Ist Prize winner — semi-double class, 
Parkside. (2-4/3). A new hanging va- 
riety with large bell-like single flowers 
of Doge Purple 731-1, maturing into a 
fine shade of Fuchsia 28/0. Each flower 
opens clear, with no hint of locked 
sepals, which are long, palest carmine, 
glistening and well recurved. 
Growth is rapid and flowers are well 
distributed on side branches, medium 
sized bright green foliage. Garden 
tested. 
Neon. (3-35/5). A strong growing up- 
right plant with the most sun tolerance 
yet seen in a pale tubed variety. Small 
to medium sized tailored flowers born 
in great abundance. Plants have been 
observed with 4 to 5 flowers to leaf 
axil. The short tube and broad sepals 
are waxy white. The underside of the 
sepals have fine lines as though hand 
painted with shell pink. The neat cor- 
olla is Rhodamine purple 29/1 with a 
bright edge of Geranium Lake 20/0. 
Coupled with the white blotch on the 
base of each petal, the flower seems to 
glow from within. Garden tested. Colors 
are based on the Royal Hort. Society’s 
Colour Chart.

PAGE FOUR 
Dulcinea (Ralph Edwards). This is a 
red and white double of exquisite form. 
The corolla is double and of clean, 
clear white coloring and although it is 
of good size it is dwarfed by the beauti- 
ful long sepals.
