SEA SPRITE (Reiter)—Originator’s description: This is a strong upright grower of perfect 
branching habit and with exceptionally graceful double flowers in the pastel range. 
The well displayed flowers open into a burst of pale violet (blue) (HCC 36/3). The petals 
mound loosely into an airy crinkled globular mass nestled at the base of long spreading 
white sepals. The inner base of the “blue” petals is deep rose making the transition from 
the white sepals to the “blue” petalage indescribably charming. The older flowers “fade” 
to a clear rose self, a worthy color in its own right. Sea Sprite has no unsightly fading; it 
changes color without losing charm. One of our finest introductions and our No. 1 1955 
variety. It is easy and grows well but it is advised to give the plant cool conditions so that 
the delicate» beauty of the flowers can be developed to its maximum. 
TINKER BELL (Hodges)—Long single white corolla, veined soft pink. Tube and long, spread- 
ing and then upturned sepals range from white to pink, inside of sepals soft pink, deepening 
to carmine at tips. Typical medium-sized foliage of Hodges varieties. Spreading bush or 
best displayed as a hanger. Profusion of fairly large flowers of fine proportion and soft 
coloring, beautifully shown as a hanging basket at Pacific Grove. 
VIE EN ROSE (Reiter)—Originator’s description: Vie en Rose produces double medium sized 
flowers in the greatest profusion on a roundish well branched bush. The habit of growth 
resembles the G. Monk-Winston Churchill tribe with its small leaves, basal branching and 
bushy growth—the ideal pot habit. However, the flowers of Vie en Rose are not only more 
perfectly formed than those of the Churchill group but are of the most exquisite porcelain- 
like pastel coloring in pale rose and “blue.” The young flowers have broad sepals and 
dense full petals of pale tyrian rose mixed with light violet and occasional flecks of white. 
As the flower ages it becomes clear tyrian rose without apparent fading until it drops. 
As a pot plant or as foreground planting it fills a new niche. The admirer of perfection in 
coloring and flower form will enjoy this one. Easy. 
WHITTIER (Home Fuchsia Gardens)—Semi-double to double corolla, large center petals white, 
flushed pale orchid, shorter outer petals soft pink. Short tube and spreading sepals white, 
underside of sepals softest pink, tipped green. Under certain conditions flower varies from 
single to double and the entire corolla may be a self pale orchid pink. Medium grower, best 
displayed as a hanger.
