1950 INTRODUCTIONS 
Alameda (Niederholzer). A red and 
white fuchsia of fine substance. The 
tube and broad upturned sepals are a 
very dark red; the overlapping petals of 
radiant white are slightly veined with 
crimson at the base of the flower. A 
fine upright bush of vigorous growth 
with dark green foliage, it is self 
branching, needs no pinching back. 
Aune Juliana (Hanson). Sport of 
Uncle Jules, identical in form and 
growth. A large double, pale lavendar 
blue corolla, with red upturned sepals. 
Bernadette (Schnabel). A descendant 
of Wonder Blue and Winston Church- 
ill, Bernadette possesses some of the 
best qualities of both. It is a fine up- 
right plant whose lateral branches are 
held horizontally. Sepals are pale rose, 
double corolla in Veronica “Blue”. 
Medium sized flowers in the popular 
blue tone. Will make basket. 
Blue Bonnet (Hodges). Large, single, 
flaring corolla of purple blue, veined 
red. Broad upturned sepals bright red. 
As flower matures, the petals open flat. 
Of vigorous growth and free blooming. 
Cameo (Schnabel). A low bush with 
stubby, strong, upright branches. Cam- 
eo carries numerous semi-double, well 
formed flowers, in the highly prized 
pink color range. Sepals are pale Rose 
Madder, while the corolla is a shade 
lighter. Cameo is self-branching, and 
an excellent pot subject. 
City of Portland (Schnabel). A large 
flower with broad, granular Carmine 
sepals, Petunia Purple corolla, which is 
somewhat marbled with light carmine. 
A clean plant which recovers quickly 
from winter dormancy, and flowers 
abundantly. Best in the cooler climate. 
Crinoline (Reiter Jr.). Patented. A 
double flower, somewhat resembling 
Seventeen, but large and paler, broad

sepals are rosy white. Corolla clear pale 
rose strong upright growth. A beautiful 
fuchsia, and takes our heat very well. 
Under license with the patentee, we 
grow our Own. 
Columbia (Niederholzer). A sport of 
the famous America, identical in 
growth and flower, except that in Col- 
umbia the outside of the sepals are just 
slightly flushed pink and the long tube 
is white. This creates a well shaped 
flower of beautiful contrast in color. 
Very showy in a hanging basket. 
Don Peralta (Tiret). Very large flower, 
usually semi-double corolla, with a long 
tube and long spreading sepals. Color- 
ing much like the variety Anna. Vigor- 
ous grower and should prove to be an 
excellent upright growing fuchsia, es- 
pecially for the warmer sections. Will 
make a basket. 
Du Barry (Tiret). Patent applied for. 
Double 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 distinct 
coloring. Under license with the pat- 
entee we grow Our Own. 
La Bianca (Tiret). Patent applied for. 
Single corolla white, short tube and 
long upturned sepals white, tipped 
green. Medium growth, deep green fol- 
lage, may be good in a hanging basket. 
Medium large, well shaped flowers are 
quite heat tolerant. Under license with 
the patentee we grow our own. 
Merle Hodges (Hodges). Double, soft 
powder blue corolla. Outside petals 
flushed pink. Sepals rosy red. Low, 
spreading bush or basket. Best in cooler 
sections. 
Maxine Elizabeth (Tiret). Single, bell- 
shaped corolla, rosy red with orange
