FUCHSIAS 
Please note that our fuchsias offered at wholesale are well-rooted plants grown in 2}/,” 
pots (not 2” or 214” pots, but 21/2” pots). It costs us more in time, material and space to raise 
and ship 21/,” stock, but it pays. When they reach you, our 2!/.” pot plants are ready for 4” 
or larger pots, or gallon cans. 
1956 INTRODUCTIONS 
Once again—ever since 1939—we are pleased to offer exclusively, or as co-introducers, 
the finest of new fuchsia originations by well known hybridizers. 
The new introductions are listed alphabetically below. Price schedule is at the end of 
descriptions, page 4. 
CAMILLE (Schnabel)—From originator’s description: A huge flower with a beautifully spread- 
ing corolla of Rose Bengal. Has the classic form and shape of the best large double purples. 
Sepals are cupped and short, fully reflexed, colored crimson. The upright, bushy, plant has 
wiry branches and foliage of medium size and leathery. Easy to grow and has been garden 
tested. 
We consider Camille to be one of Mr. Schnabel’s outstanding varieties. 
CARMEL BLUE (Hodges)—Long single corolla beautiful blue; long greenish white tube and 
narrow, outspread white sepals flushed palest blush on underside, tipped pale green. 
Vigorous upright bush with excellent foliage and lots of flowers. The very attractive color 
contrast should be most popular. 
COLONIAL DAME (Hodges)—Fully double corolla light to medium pink; short, broad, 
outspread sepals rose pink, tipped green. Strong, willowy grower, good foliage, large 
flowers. Try Colonial Dame as a hanger, too. Quite heat tolerant in Palo Alto. In the fog 
belt the flowers are quite large, with deeper pink color and rose sepals. 
DESERT SUNSET (Muriel Waltz)—Double light rosy purple corolla opens to various shadings, 
mostly a smoky rose, maturing to a bright lake. Upturned sepals white, light pink on 
inside. Spreading bush, large flowers, try as a hanger. 
MAYFLOWER (Hodges)—Double, spreading corolla light pink, sepals deep pink to rose, 
conspicuously tipped green. Trailing grower with good sized flowers, best displayed in a 
hanging basket. Somewhat larger and softer pink than the well known South Gate. In the 
cooler sections the colors are deeper, the flowers quite flaring. 
PAPER DOLLS (Reiter)—From originator’s description: Similar to Flying Cloud, with larger 
and whiter flowers. Plant is a strong, medium high, branching grower with larger leaves 
than Flying Cloud. A heavy bloomer and as heat tolerant as Flying Cloud. 
We consider Paper Dolls to be one of Mr. Reiter's most promising introductions. 
PINK CLOUD (Muriel Waltz)—Single corolla light orchid pink, short waxy tube and long, 
broad, recurved sepals phlox pink, tipped pale green. Upright grower, this seedling of 
Sleigh Bells has all the good characteristics of its excellent parent. Similar in growing 
habit to Sleigh Bells, with somewhat larger leaves. A lovely fuchsia.
