GENERAL COLLECTION OF FUCHSIAS 
INCLUDING 1953 INTRODUCTIONS 
Upright growing varieties listed below. Hanging-pot or trailing fuchsias listed as a 
group on pages 10-12. 
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.
