1950 REITER INTRODUCTIONS 
Victor Reiter, Jr. respectfully presents four new fuchsias 
for the 1950 season. We hope you will continue to approve 
his selections. 
The Belle of ’50 
CRINOLINE (Reiter, Jr. — Patent applied for) A large puffy 
double of exquisite rosy cast somewhat reminiscent in color 
to our earlier variety, Seventeen, but much larger and some- 
what paler.. The tube and broad sepals are rosy white tipped 
green and the deeper colored double petals are of a clear 
rose (HCC 29/3) and they are so placed and of such heavy 
substance that they appear to bulge; hence the name 
Crinoline. 
The plant is of strong upright branching habit with heavy 
wood and small thick healthy foliage. We have subjected it 
to our tough field test and although the plant was buffeted 
by dry winds and the flowers were damaged it stood up well. 
However, a fine flower like Crinoline deserves cool shady 
conditions to bring out its best size and color. Absolutely 
different and the finest pastel colored fuchsia we have ever 
offered. 
It’s Heavenly 
NEW HORIZON (Reiter, Jr. — Patent applied for) A large 
double-flowered variety with crispy light blue petals and 
pale rosy sepals. It has the typical healthy foliage and growth 
of the dark purple varieties but its flowers are of the palest 
- blue and rose. 
The symmetrically placed petals are pale Methyl Violet 
(HCC 39/2) fading toward the center through palest Lobelia 
Blue (HCC 41/3) to pale Hyacinth Blue (HCC 39/2). The 
tube and the large upturned claw sepals are of the palest 
rose and this color extends and merges into the Lobelia Blue of 
the. petals. The perky flower is of perfect form and a clean 
pale: coloring that fades well and remains attractive to the 
end. j 
A flower of delicate yet sparkling quality. Strong healthy 
and easy but like all fuchsias approaching the light blue 
shades it should be grown cool for best color. 
You Can Gamble On It 
ROULETTE (Reiter, Jr. — Patent applied for) A semi-trailing 
plant of excellent vigor with brilliant double flowers in strong 
gay colors. 
The fully double flowers have petals of intense Rose 
Madder (HCC 23/—) marbled pale rose at their base and 
the multiple sepals are pale rose fading to white toward their 
center, 
The generous, fully double petalage of intense coloring 
nestled in a center of many radiating pale rose sepals makes 
this our hottest 1949 offering. 
Roulette should be tried as a low climber or spreading 
basket as well as a staked bush or standard. It should be well 
suited to the warmer fuchsia areas.
