OLD SMOKY (Schmidt) — Double corolla old 
rose with a smoky cast; medium tube and 
outspread sepals flesh color, underside of 
sepals pink. Strong grower with somewhat 
pendant branches and medium large leaves - 
try it as a hanger, too. Large flowers that 
should be very large along the cool coast. 
Novel coloring distinguishes Old Smoky 
from all other fuchsias. 
SNOWBALL (Reiter, Jr.) — A huge all-white 
fuchsia of classical form on a vigorous 
plant. Petalage is creamy white and very 
double, developing into a large rounded 
forma! ball. The white sepals are long and 
reflexed completely in the mature flower. 
However, there is a flush of pink in the 
base of the sepals and at the base of the 
tube. Most of the slight coloring is masked 
by the reflexed sepals making the name 
Snowball accurately descriptive. The plant 
is vigorous with large leaves and for best 
results it should be grown under moist con- 
ditions in warmish shade with good drain- 
age. The flowers open from small buds but 
continue to grow to huge size requiring 
good conditions for peak display. A plant 
for the fuchsia admirer willing to take spe- 
cial pains. Grown well Snowball compares 
favorably with the best double fuchsia of 
any color. Noteworthy. 
SPARKLER (Plummer) — | gave much thought 
to naming this fuchsia which combines the 
best features of Erecta and Junior Miss. 
Dark violet corolla, sepals of palest rose. 
Many hard, tight blossoms in great profu- 
sion. The stamens and pistil are short and 
stand out very stiff. Many names were 
suggested but it always sparkles so that | 
just had to call it Sparkler. This one will 
be in every collectors garden. 
STREAMLINER (Tiret) Patented — Everything 
about this great fuchsia is streamlined — 
the long slender buds, long thin tube, long 
semi - double corolla, extra long twisted and 
curved sepals, and even the strong growth 
streamlines directly down from the hanging 
pot. Similar in coloring to ‘‘Red Spider’, 
but deeper colored in both corolla and se- 
pals. Streamliner loves the warmer climate. 
TRAIL BLAZER (Reiter, Jr.) Patented — This 
is a large flowered trailer in the Anna color- 
ing but with smaller foliage and soft wil - 
lowy growth which hangs almost straight 
down. Trail Blazer can be compared to a 
large double flowered Red Spider, 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. 
TURQUOISE LADY ADS — Upright bushy | 
grower, to four feet. Red sepals and co-} 
rolla of dark blue. Medium size flowers: 
grow in profusion. This fuchsia is the same 
color as the fuchsia Blue Pendant that took 
everyone by storm in 1950. Easy to grow, 
and a must for every garden. 
TUTU (Reiter, Jr.) — A small branching bush 
with small thick leathery foliage. In our 
field this plant proved surprisingly sun 
tolerant for a flower in the Flirtation color 
range and in addition the flowers proved of 
exceptional size and substance. The large 
flat double flowers have densely spreading 
irregularly lobed petals of pale Rhodamine 
Purple (HCC 29/3) flecked with pale Aster 
Violet (HCC 38/3). The spreading sepals 
are palest rose inside and greenish white 
outside. Tutu is the toughest flower we 
have seen in the pale rose and blue group , 
and the fading qualities are surprising for 
the group. Old flowers are almost as at- 
tractive as those just freshly unfolded. 
Ideal for pot work because of its dense’ 
growth and large flowers and unconditional - 
ly recommended to lovers of delicate color- 
ing in fuchsias.
