1948 Fuchsia 
Introductions 
4” pots $1.25 each; 6” pots $1.85 each 
BO-PEEP. (Clement Schnabel) This is a neat up- 
right bush of medium vigor, well furnished with 
small leaves and smothered with dainty little flowers 
of pale orchid, while the tube and well recurved 
sepals are white, with a faint pink blush. A dainty 
addition to the popular pastel group. 
DULCINEA (Ralph Edwards) This is a red and 
white double of exquisite form. The red tube is 
quite long and the sepals are the longest we have 
ever seen on a red and white fuchsia. A graceful 
and distinguished plant of medium vigor. 
ECSTASY (Tiret) An exquisitely colored pale dou- 
ble variety of willowy growth. The inner petals are 
of hyacinth blue and the outer ones of the same color 
are splashed at the base with phlox pink. The hori- 
zontally reflexed sepals are neyron rose tipped green. 
GULLIVER (Reiter, Jr.) A large white-tubed single 
with dark Tyrian Rose petals. If anything, the plant 
is too free-blooming and it should be started early 
in the season. Best treated as a small bush. 
IRISH ROSE (Reiter, Jr.) An entirely new color 
in fuchsia. The medium sized flowers are fully 
double with pale chartreuse tube and sepals and with 
petalage of the tenderest rose. Like the all whites, it 
must be grown under cool conditions. 
JACK SHAHAN (Tiret). A trailing variety. This 
is a large single with long tube and sepals. The tube 
and sepals are of the palest Rose Bengal and the 
petals of the same color are margined with a darker 
shade. A strong grower with a beautiful flower. 
MANTILLA (Reiter, Jr.) A sensational new trailer 
which should grow to perfection in Southern Cali- 
fornia. With soft willowy branching growth and 
beautifully shingled with bronzy foliage, Mantilla 
covers itself with long flowers of pure deep Carmine. 
The flowers have the longest tubes we have ever seen. 
During the trying 1947 summer Mantilla alone seemed 
to revel in the heat. A breeding triumph.
