FUCHSIA OFFERING 
VICTOR REITER, JR.

LOmbard 6-2929 
This is the SIXTEENTH year of new fuchsia offerings 
created in the breeding plots of La Rochette Nursery. 
Fuchsia fanciers have come to expect annual Reiter intro- 
ductions and we strive each year to again please them with 
extensions of the fuchsia horizon. 
The creations for 1952 (Tutu, His Excellency, Snowball 
and Innocence) were particularly well received and we hope 
that our 1953 creations (LULLABY, POLAR SEA, and 
JUBILEE) can maintain the standards set by previous years. 
In addition to the Reiter Introductions, La Rochette 
Nursery is proud to offer the exclusive introduction of three 
new fuchsias created by the noted hybridizer, Clem. Schnabel. 
These varieties have been selected after rigid tests by 
Mr. Schnabel and represent his sound fuchsia judgement and 
his notable breeding accomplishments. 
We are certain that the 1953 Schnabel Introductions 
(CAVALIER, DAINTY DAMOSEL and MEL NEWFIELD) 
will fill a place in the gardens of critical fuchsia fanciers. 
La Rochette Nursery is also offering a very excellent 
English fuchsia, JOAN LESLIE, which is too fine to include 
in our list without comment. Joan Leslie is a good heat 
tolerant plant with crisp double dark purple flowers of a 
rich iridescent maroon cast similar to the old variety Royal 
Purple. It is superior to Royal Purple in every way and is a 
must for those fuchsia lovers who appreciate rich colorings.
