1953 REITER INTRODUCTIONS 
A pastel symphony 
LULLABY. A double flowered trailer in the same warm 
rose coloring as the upright variety Crinoline (Reiter 1950). 
The large flowers are fully double, exceptionally crisp in 
texture and of excellent form with nearly white recurved 
sepals and the warm rose petalage heretofore unobtainable 
in trailing forms. Compared with Crinoline the flowers are 
slightly more lavender and a shade darker and the doubleness, 
the size and the substance of the flower is definitely superior. 
Well foliated branches arch naturally and the flowers hang 
abundantly and conspicuously. 
Like most of these newer Reiter pastels the large flowers 
develop slowly and the color is maintained to the very last. 
Lullaby has shown exceptional heat resistance under test for 
fuchsias in this color range. 
Snowcapped 
POLAR SEA. A vigorous upright fuchsia in the colorings 
of His Excellency (Reiter 1952) from which it differs in larger 
size and more intense and contrasting coloring. The double 
flowers resemble the old magenta sepalled purples in form 
and size with their ideal broad deltoid sepals but, in Polar 
Sea, the tube and sepals are white and the petals are dark 
Imperial Purple (33/0 HCC*) marbled with white at their 
base. Two year old plants at La Rochette have carried 
flowers equal in size to those on neighboring plants of its 
distant ancestor, Commander in Chief (Reiter, Sr. 1942). 
Under good fuchsia conditions Polar Sea compares favorably 
in form with the best of the old dark purples. Consequently, 
we feel a certain pride in knowing that the white sepalled 
fuchsia has finally reached the quality level formerly reserved 
only to the old magenta purple doubles. 
The plant is strong and upright, flowers are large, stems 
long, color startling and fading graceful. It deserves the 
best conditions for full development of all its qualities. 
Brilliant 
JUBILEE. A large bicolor double in the "magenta red" 
group. Jubilee is a strong bushy grower with large double 
flowers of sparkling color and distinguished form. The 
double petalage is edged with dark Tyrian Rose (24/1 HCC*) 
fading to a lighter shade toward the center of the flower. 
The long spreading sepals are white flushed pale rose lending 
additicnal brilliance and distinction to its sparkling petal 
coloring. Jubilee is the Reiter contribution to the white 
sepalled magenta doubles being offered by various breeders 
ine ose 
Although these lighter colored, more intensely bright 
magenta fuchsias will probably not withstand the same diffi- 
cult conditions as their darker counterparts (such as Anna), 
we believe Jubilee will give a fair accounting in warm areas. 
Of course, Jubilee should sparkle plenty near the coast.

Cavalier 
A trailing variety whose three to four foot branches fall 
from the pot rim like a Cavalier's Cape. Although slightly 
more woody Cavalier resembles Cascade or Red Spider in 
growth. The large long bell-like single flowers are Petunia 
purple, (32/0 HCC*) with the base of each petal changing 
to Rhodamene (29/1 HCC*) while the long twisted sepals 
are pale carmine (pink) (21/2 HCC*). 
The long waxy straight sided buds sometimes measure 
four and one-half inches from berry to tip. Cavalier is free 
flowering and the plant is heat tolerant.
