FUCHSIA INTRODUCTIONS 
1955 Introductions and Patented Varieties 
Well established plants in 3’ pot size, 75c each. 
BALI HI—1955 (Tiret) Double corolla 
mauve-blue; tube and broad upturned se- 
pals white. Good foliage and an abundance 
of large flowers. Stands warm weather. 
Best as hanging basket. 
BERKELEY—1955 (Reiter). This one is a 
large flowered, free blooming, vigorous 
variety. The opulent: flowers of globular 
petalage and large recurved sepals hang in 
hundreds on a fast growing healthy plant. 
A brilliant Tyrian Rose with marbling and 
edgings of varying intensity. The tube and 
sepals are paler than the petalage, setting 
it off to advantage. Free and showy in 
flowers. 
BEWITCHED—(Tiret Patent.) Double corolla 
deep violet, tube and sepals white. Blooms 
abundantly and makes excellent hanging 
basket. 
BRIDESMAID—(Tiret). Patent pending. Dou- 
ble corolla lilac-orchid, broad recurving 
sepals white, phlox pink on _ underside. 
Strong medium high bushy grower, with a 
profusion of large double flowers. 
CHEROKEE—1955 (Hodges). Double corolla 
with large center petals and smaller outer 
petals, many somewhat pleated. Flowers 
open purplish, then turn to a rosy hue with 
a smoky overcast toward petal edges. All 
petals are attached at the base to the broad 
deep pink sepals, causing the corolla to 
spread out flat as the sepals turn up. 
Strong grower with dark foliage. Large 
flowers of most unusual shape and showy 
coloring. Best as hanging basket. 
CHIQUITA—1955 (Reiter). Double flowers 
of pale rosy orchid. The flowers resemble 
the older variety Pastel in coloring, but are 
larger and more open and the coloring is 
much clearer. 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 a 
hanging trailer exclusively. 
CORONATION (Tiret. Patent applied for.)— 
Double wide spreading rosy raspberry co- 
rolla. Short tube and long narrow sepals 
waxy white. Large flowers. Tall upright 
grower. 
EASTER BONNET—1955 (Waltz). A new, 
large, double pink upright. Can be grown 
as a semi-trailer. Has short tubes of flushed 
rose and broad frosty upturned sepals shad- 
ing from deep pink at base of petals to 
pale pink and are tipped with green. Cor- 
olla is a lovely dusty rose pink. Wide 
spreading ruffled cup-shaped flowers which 
do not fade. Foliage dark olive green. 
ENCHANTED (Tiret. Patented.)—Very large 
double corolla campanula blue with many 
outer petals of fuchsia pink. Sepals rosy 
red. Hanging basket type. Very good. 
FLYING CLOUD—(Victor Reiter, Jr.) Pat- 
ented. Semi-double to double white. Slight 
pink flush at base of petals, tube and long 
spreading sepals white, tipped green. Good 
grower. Best in cool location. 
GOLDEN MARINKA—1955 (Weber). 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, especially near leaf 
edges. Unlike most variegated  fuchsias, 
every leaf on Golden Marinka is variegated. 
One of the best novelty hangers, 
JAMBOREE—1955 (Reiter). A huge flow- 
ered double of brightest carmine. The 
immense crisp flowers are a dazzling color. 
The tube and sepals are of the same color. 
This is startling new color in fuchsias. It 
stands heat well. It should be pinched 
heavily to induce branching. Upright va- 
riety.
