GENERAL COLLECTION OF FUCHSIAS 
INCLUDING 1952 INTRODUCTIONS 
Upright growing varieties listed below. Hanging-pot or trailing fuchsias listed as a 
group on page 9. 
Please note that whenever the term “heat-tolerant’’ is used in a description, it does not 
mean that the particular variety may be planted in full sun. It may stand full sun in the fog 
belt, but must be planted, as are other fuchsias, in part shade in the warmer sections— 
then the flowers will be tolerant to hot weather. 
No longer do two or three names dominate the field of new fuchsias. There now are 
many active amateur and professional breeders and our list here reflects the influx of their 
originations. 
We are pleased to offer below new and recent fuchsias by these California breeders: 
Brand, Evans, Haag, Hodges, Nelson, Reiter, Schmidt, Schnabel, Tiret, Walker & Jones, Waltz 
and others. 
AUNT JULIANA—Sport of Uncle Jules with 
large double orchid lavender corolla and 
red upturned sepals. More willowy in

hanger. Fine, very large flowers—one of 
the best sellers. 17'/2c. 
BERNADETTE—Double corolla deep blue, 
sepals pale rose to red. Upright bushy
