1953 Introductions of Muriel Waltz 
Here are 4 choice varieties of Fuchsias selected from the large number of 
seedlings we grew last year. 
Our aim is not just to produce a new Fuchsia, it has to be a better Fuchsia 
and we think you will find these different, easy to grow, hardy plants. 
Their long lasting bloom will be superb for corsages as well as an ornament 
for that shady spot in your garden. 
THE ARISTOCRAT. A true aristocrat 
among Fuchsias, the large double wax 
like flowers hang from an extra long 
stem, very showy. 
The longish tube is a creamy white, 
has beautiful wide upturned sepals which 
spread out padoga fashion from base of 
stem, and are pale rose tipped with 
white, the creamy white serrated petals 
of the corolla are slightly veined rose at 
base of tube, and flare out from base 
matching the spreading sepals above. The 
petals are also pale rose producing a 
dainty and charming color effect. Strong 
upright grower similar to Gypsy Queen. 
This Fuchsia has everything, hardiness, 
clean habit of growth, splendid foliage, 
the kind of Fuchsia gardeners and hy- 
bridizers have been waiting for. 
FRENCHI. As the name implies very 
frenchi looking, a true pastel in the large 
doubles. Tube flushed white, the wide 
upturned recurved sepals are salmon 
pink, Corolla silvery blue and pale rose 
mauve, with splashes of pink, the lovely 
bud when opened is rose shaped and the 
matured flower flaring open into a 
rather irregular picturesque form is al- 
most as lovely as the bud. A gorgeous 
plant in bloom, bushy growth likes partly 
shaded siutations best. Garden tested. 
MOONLIGHT. A semi-double flower 
medium to large size, the delicate color- 
ing has the soft pale glow of moon- 
light. 
The short tube and long frosted sepals 
are greenish white tipped with pale 
green, the corolla palest flesh pink has 
overlapping petals veined with pale rose, 
as flower matures instead of fading the 
colors deepen and flare open slightly. 
This plant is self branching very free 
flowering medium sized clean foliage, 
will make a basket as well as a beautiful 
pot plant. Hardy, heat resistant, garden 
tested. 
PETITE. A small double pastel with 
crispy lilac blue and pale Bengal Rose 
flowers in great profusion, which re- 
semble little bells nodding from the tips 
of erect branches. 
Tube and sepals which turn straight 
up are pale rose. Corolla lilac blue fad- 
ing to a lavender blue, as flower matures 
the petals open from the center though 
flower never loses its compact form. A 
hardy vigorous bushy grower will make 
an ideal pot plant or climb a fence, has 
the growing habits of G. Monk but its 
own exquisite coloring. Garden tested. 
1953 Introduction of Clement Schnabel 
Vagabond was given us last year by Mr. Schnabel to try as a trailer, and 
proved to be one of those Fuchsias which are good looking both in the bud and 
open flower and a natural trailer. 
VAGABOND. A double trailing or espalier Fuchsia and with its huge buds 
and flowers of deep magenta flushed carmine promises to be an excellent addition 
to the good reds. 
The short tube and long broad upturned sepal are brilliant carmine, the corolla 
magenta, with many outer over-laping petals of magenta splashed with carmine. The 
plume like branches have flowers along the branch as well as the tips. Continuous 
bloomer, medium large foliage, and especially good for the warmer climates, wanted 
and admired by all visiting the gardens.
