GYPSY PRINCE (Ervin)—This excellent sport of Gypsy Queen was found by Mrs. Grace M. 
Ervin of Soquel. It has all the desirable qualities of growth, large flowers and free blooming 
habits of the parent variety, but Gypsy Prince has a corolla of deep violet purple, a few 
smaller outer petals marbled flesh pink at the base. Larger central petals are serrated, tube 
and broad upturned sepals are bright red. Be sure to try this newest member of the Gypsy 
tribe. 
LADY ANN (Tiret)—Winner of First Prize, double fuchsia seedlings, at the 1952 San Francisco 
Flower Show. Double spreading corolla formed of many curled petals, opening purplish- 
blue, with most of the outside petals marbled phlox pink. Short tube and broad, spreading 
sepals are white, sepals faintly blushed on underside, tipped green. Strong, bushy, upright 
grower with fine foliage, free flowering. Of particularly fine form and coloring in the cooler 
coastal sections. 
SPRING SHOWER (Tiret)—Semi-double long-petaled white corolla. Short tube and upturned 
sepals flesh, underside of sepals soft phlox pink. Tall upright, branching grower, noted for 
the superabundance of medium-large flowers. This variety blooms early, even in small 
pots, and a fairly large plant is simply a shower of soft pink-and-white flowers. 
VOODOO (Tiret)—Double corolla darkest of any large double fuchsia—a deep purple-violet. 
Short tube and long, wide, upturned sepals darkest red. Strong upright grower, large 
flowers. The popularity of double red-and-purple fuchsias goes on and on and the richly 
contrasting deep coloring of Voodoo places it right at the top for 1953. 
YANKEE-DOODLE (Hodges)—Patent applied for.—For its startling red, white, and blue color 
pattern this fuchsia won First Prize for single seedlings at the 1952 San Francisco Flower 
Show. Short tube and upturned or reflexed sepals are deep red, single flat corolla white, 
with irregular elongated blotches and stripes of blue-purple. Medium tall grower, lots of 
good sized flowers. Remarkable for its variability—no two flowers are exactly alike. Ina 
typical flower the somewhat pleated petals show an equal area of white and purple, but 
some flowers have an all-white corolla, a few flowers are dominated by purple, while others 
may have one or two white petals, with the other petals of the same flower strongly marked 
with purple. Not only that, but the markings are different even on the inside and outside of 
each petal, believe it or not. Yankee-Doodle will undoubtedly be the top seller of the 1953 
fuchsia season, so be sure to order a good supply early—today.
