CHIQUITA (Reiter)—Originator’s description: This plant is a hanging-pot trailer exclusively. 
It has small crinkly, grass-green foliage which tumbles over hanging-pots in a many 
branched mass smothered with medium double flowers of pale rosy orchid. The flowers 
resemble the older variety Pastel in coloring but they are larger and more open and the 
coloring is much crisper. The clean coloring of the pastel flowers, the green of the dense 
mat of foliage and the absence of fading give Chiquita a unique quality. The plant is self- 
branching and does not produce berries. Recommended for the more experienced who can 
wait a few extra weeks for results. 
EL CAMINO (Lee)—Double corolla of large central petals and smaller spreading outer 
petals, white, heavily flushed and veined rose. Tube and short, broad upturned sepals rose 
red. Medium high, bushy grower, deep green medium-sized leaves. Medium large “lively” 
flowers show up well on the plant. 
GOLDEN MARINKA (Weber)—Illustrated on front cover. This is a sport of Marinka with the 
same easy, self-branching habit of growth, red stems and deep red flowers. However, each 
leaf is variegated with gold, specially near leaf edges, turning to cream as leaves mature. 
Veining in leaf is red and leaves are flushed red on underside. Unlike most variegated 
fuchsias, EVERY leaf on Golden Marinka is variegated. One of the best novelty hangers 
in many years. 
JAMBOREE (Reiter)—Originator’s description: A huge flowered double of brightest Carmine 
(HCC 21/1). The irregular petals of this immense crisp flower are a dazzling color, a real 
deep carmine, and the tube and sepals are of the same color in a slightly less intense 
shade. The flowers open carmine and do not fade at all. The foliage is large and glossy 
with reddish veining combining well with the large brilliant flowers. The plant is stiffly 
upright. This variety has been introduced because of its startling new color and not as a 
general purpose plant. Although it stands heat rather well it has a tendency to woodiness 
and must be pinched heavily to induce branching. This is a variety with which to amaze 
the fancier but is not intended as a top drawer landscaping variety. 
MILLIONAIRE (Tiret)—Fully double corolla deepest violet purple, short tube and broad 
sepals rose red to deep red, depending on exposure. Strong growing hanger with good 
foliage Very large flowers with the richest coloring of any double fuchsia. 
PINK PARFAIT (Schnabel)—Originator’s description: A descendant of Dorothy Louise 
(Schnabel, 1952) which is somewhat larger and.a shade lighter. The sepals are longer and 
more wing-like while the double spreading corolla extends its petalage between the sepals, 
i. e., tufts of guard petals appear at the base of the sepal edges. The entire flower is a clear 
shade of light ‘strawberry ice-cream pink’’ which does not fade. Pink Parfait is more open 
in growth than Dorothy Louise, displaying the flowers to good advantage. Arching branches, 
with medium foliage. To 3-4 feet. 
PINK POPCORN (Hodges)—Large corolla with four white, serrated and pink-veined central 
petals and numerous pleated, smaller outer petals’of phlox pink. Long waxy tube and broad, 
light pink, green-tipped sepals. The smaller outer petals are attached at their base to the 
sepals and so flare out horizontally as the sepals turn up. Medium strong hanger with 
good foliage. One of the showiest and most distinctive of all Hodges introductions. 
PIO PICO (Tiret)—Double corolla opens violet purple, turning to wine purple. Smaller outer 
petals splashed with fuchsia pink. Short tube and broad, reflexed sepals palest pink, inside 
of sepals deep pink. Strong growing espalier or hanger with good foliage. Very large 
flowers feature a long corolla and vivid coloring. 
SAN JOSE (Erickson)—This is a sport of San Pablo, identical in growth and size of flowers, 
but somewhat more trailing. The corolla is white, sepals rose pink to rosy red, depending 
on exposure. San Jose will be a good seller because it is a hanger, has the popular red- 
and-white coloring and very large flowers.
