1950 INTRODUCTIONS BY HODGES AND TIRET 
Strong well-established plants in 22” pots $1 each. 
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, especial- 
ly for the warmer sections. 
DU BARRY (Tiret)—Patent applied for. Dou- 
ble 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 dis- 
tinct coloring. 
LA BIANCA (Tiret) — Patent applied for. 
Single corolla white, short tube and long 
upturned sepals white, tipped green. Med- 
ium growth, deep green foliage, may be 
good in hanging 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. 
MERLE HODGES (Hodges) — Double large 
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 
in a hanging basket. One of the finest. 
Best in coastal areas 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. 
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 tex- 
ture. 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 does well in warm 
climate. 
FAVORITE VARIETIES OF UPRIGHT FUCHSIAS 
Strong well-established plants in 212” pots 35c¢ each, unless otherwise noted. 
ANNA—The large double flowers of corolla 
magenta; sepals tube and base of petals 
bright carmine. Very vigorous with rich 
foliage and fine habits even in the warmer 
climates. Very showy in hanging baskets. 
BEAUTY OF EXETER—Very soft rose corolla

sepals of light rose. Tube white shaded 
pink, 
CLARION — Double purplish rose-red, up- 
turned sepals red. Bushy medium high 
growth. Fine in warmer sections. 50c each. 

COLUMBIA (Niederholzer)—A sport of the 
famous America, identical in growth 
and flower except that in Columbia 
the outside of the sepals is just slightly 
flushed pink and the long tubes are 
white. This creates a well shaped flower 
of beautiful contrast in color, very showy 
in a hanging basket. $1.00 each. 

COLOMBINE—Double spreading corolla rho- 
damine purple, tubes and upturned sepals 
2 
white. Medium sized flowers of good con- 
trast coloring. 50c each. 
CREOLE—A new color in fuchsia. The large 
double corolla (petals) is oxblood with 
overtones of maroon. Deeper in color than 
the variety Anna. The rich hue is en- 
hanced by surrounding petals of darkest 
crimson matching the long tube and sepals 
in’ color. The four center petals are ex- 
tended beyond the bulk of the petalage 
in mature flowers. Can also be grown as 
a hanging basket. 50c each. 
COLLINGWOOD—Double corolla white, tube 
and sepals pink. Upright grower and free 
flowering. A pink-and-white fuchsia. 
CATALINA—Tall vigorous grower, large dark 
green foliage, flowers enormously large, 
double. Sepals rich crimson, corolla snowy 
white. 
DR. JULES WELCH — Double blue-violet, 
outer petals all pink or marbled. Short 
broad sepals deep pink. Vigorous medium, 
high-bushy grower with good sized flowers.
