- LA ROCHETTE NURSERY 
19517 
INTRODUCTIONS 
For 1951 La Rochette Nursery enters its fourteenth year 
of fuchsia introductions with two new offerings of its own and 
one from Mr. Clement Schnabel. We hope you will enjoy 
the new surprises for 1951. 
1951 REITER INTRODUCTIONS 
A Hot Number 
TRAIL BLAZER (Reiter, Jr. — Patent applied for) This is a 
large flowered trailer in the Anna (Reiter, 1945) coloring but 
with smaller foliage and soft willowy growth which hangs 
almost straight down. 
Trail Blazer can be compared to a large double flowered 
Red Spider (Reiter, 1946); growing with the same abandon 
and blooming with the same flash. 
The flowers are of the very long globular type (up to ten 
petals), the sepals are long and well recurved and the light 
green foliage is placed loosely and gracefully. The color of 
the flowers is very close to that of Red Spider; the petals 
being Deep Magenta (27/0 H.C.C.) and the sepals a slightly 
paler shade (23/2 H.C.C.). 
A top notch hanging basket variety and the finest double 
magenta trailer in commerce. 
It’s a Dream! 
REVERIE (Reiter, Jr. 1951) This medium sized double is 
intermediate between Seventeen (Reiter, Jr. 1947) and 
Crinoline (Reiter, Jr. pat. 1951). The flower is of exceptional 
form with nicely waved petals and abruptly recurved sepals. 
The entire flower is of an even pale Tyrian Rose (24/3 H.C.C.} 
which is retained even as the flower ages. The bushy plant 
is of medium vigor with small foliage and can be shaped 
more easily than Seventeen. It does not replace Crinoline 
but it does add another fine pastel to our collection and it is a 
must be for fanciers of dainty delicately colored fuchsias. 
1951 SCHNABEL INTRODUCTION 
A New Look 
WEDGEWOOD (Schnabel 1951) Originator's description: 
"A new ‘Blue’ and white double of clear and sparkling 
brilliance. The near-white tube and long glistening sepals 
frame a spreading double corolla of ‘Blue’ violet. Wedge- 
wood has small to medium sized leaves which act as a foil to 
the breath-taking translucent beauty of its flowers. The plant 
is a bushy upright of self-branching habit and restrained 
growth" Garden tested in San Francisco where it has demon- 
strated particular quality as a pot plant because of its free 
branching habit and even growth. A fine new extension to the 
fuchsia horizon. 
Price of 1951 Introductions $1.00 in four inch pots.
