Fuchsias...

We maintain growing plants of all our Fuchsias for display purposes and our garden is a riot of color all during the summer and fall. The publi¢ is cor- dially invited to enjoy this display and here you may see the Fuchsias grown in the various forms; trailing in hanging pots, trained to tree form, and also espaliered. Each vear we hold a Fuchsia Show at the Nursery open to the publie when Fuchsias are at the height of bloom. This generally occurs in early Septem- ber and at this time a preview is given of new varieties to appear the following spring. Keep this period in mind as we have thousands of people who eagerly look forward to this occasion.

VARIETIES—While we grow probably the largest number of varieties in the United States we have cut out many of the older varieties in favor of the many beautiful newer ones.

CULTURE—Fuchsias love the shade and moisture and for this reason are well adapted for the shady side of buildings where they give a wealth of bloom. They respond to a rich soil and applications of well rotted manure is advocated with additional feedings of more concentrated plant food. They will not stand an outside temperature below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

PRICE—Price of all plants except where noted otherwise are as follows: From 4-inch pots, 35¢ each.

Many varieties in larger sizes from 50¢ up.

Trailing varieties in 10-inch hanging pots, $2.50 each.

SUBSTITUTIONS—When ordering by mail it would be wise to list a few substitute varieties in case certain ones ordered are out of stock. Otherwise we will use our discretion in making substiutions.

SALES TAX—AI] orders in California add 244% Sales Tax to all prices. On orders from 15¢ to 59¢ add 1c; 60e to 99e add 2¢ tax; $1.00 to $1.39 add 3e tax ; $1.40 to $1.79 add 4¢ tax; and for every 40¢ additional add le tax. Orders shipped outside of California are not subject to this tax.

SHIPPING—We prepay all cash orders over $4.00 in California. Outside of California, shipping charges are to be paid by purchaser. Such orders will be sent charges collect if payment does not cover. For instance, four plants from four-inch pots will weigh three pounds packed for shipment and for each plant over four add one-half pound and rates from the different zones may be computed.

Fuchsia Introductions

Descriptions are those given by the hybridizer.

BO-PEEP (Clement Schnabel)—This is a

neat upright bush of medium vigor, well furnished with small leaves and smoth- ered with dainty little flowers. The semi- double, pale orchid corolla is somewhat flaring, while the tube and well recurved sepals are white and touched with a faint blush. A dainty addition to the popular pastel group.

DULCINEA (Ralph Edwards)—This is a

red and white double of exquisite form. The red tube is quite long and the sepals are the longest we have ever seen on a red and white fuchsia. The corolla is dou- ble and of a clean, clear white coloring and although it is of good size it is dwarfed by the beautiful long sepals. Reminiscent of Suzanne Pasquier, which is one of its parents, Dulcinea tops it with its even more elegant sepals. A graceful and distinguished plant of medium vigor.

ECSTACY (Tiret)—An exquisitely colored

pale double variety which resembles Flir- tation in its delicate coloring and form but the plant is of more willowy growth and the flowers are of even finer color- ing. The inner petals are of hyacinth blue and the outer ones of the same color are splashed at the base with phlox pink. The horizontally reflexed broad granular se- pals are neyron rose tipped green. The large flower has much more substance than Flirtation and the pale coloring is of a cleaner brighter quality. Tops in the marbled pastels. Should be tried as a semi-trailing variety.

GULLIVER (Reiter)—A large white-tubed

single with dark Tyrian Rose petals. This plant is named for the breeder who obtained the first white tube and sepalled fuchsia, Venus-Victrix, in 1840. The tube and sepals are waxy white and the dark Tyrian Rose petals are full and overlap well. If anything, the plant is too free- blooming and it should be started early in the season. Best treated as a small bush.

IRISH ROSE (Reiter)—An entirely new

coloring in fuchsia. A logical sequence to the development of the white fuchsia, this variety represents the first new break from the exploitation of the all whites. The medium sized flowers are fully double with pale chartreuse tube and sepals and with petalage of the ten- derest rose. The perfectly proportioned pale rose and light chartreuse double flowers and the light green foliage pre- sent the most delicate coloring in all of fuchsia. There is no other fuchsia like it nor is there anything approaching its delicacy of color. Like the al] whites, it must be grown under cool conditions.

JACK SHAHAN (Tiret)—A trailing vari-

ety named for a popular member of the American Fuchsia Society. This is a large single with long tube and sepals. The tube and pagoda shaped sepals are of the palest Rose Bengal and the petals of the same color are margined with a darker shade. A strong grower with a beautiful flower which should be easy to grow.

MANTILLA (Reiter) — A sensational new

trailer which should grow to perfection in Southern California. For years we have tried to develop an F. triphylla trailer and in 1946 we presented a fairly good va- riety, the 25% F. triphyla hybrid, Trum- peter. This year we have finally created a 50% F. triphylla hybrid which is a per- fect trailer. With soft willowy branching growth and beautifully shingled with bronzy foliage, Mantilla covers itself with long flowers of pure deep carmine. The flowers have the longest tubes we have ever seen, some having measured better than three and a half inches in length. The petals are spreading and the sepals pagoda like. The entire flower, tube se- pals and petals are of the one color, deep carmine. During the trying 1947 summer Mantilla alone seemed to revel in the heat. A breeding triumph.

PINK SHOWER (Reiter)—A trailer with

plenty of small branches and with small semi-double flowers of palest rose. The well-formed flowers appear with aban- don on the very leafy branching plant. Recommended for the cool garden where a well furnished hanging pot is desired in the pastel shades.

SEA FOAM (Reiter) — A beautiful smal]

bush with medium sized crispy flowers of semi-double petalage and upspreading se- pals. The tube and sepals are white and sometimes flushed pale rose and the pet- als are marbled dark petunia purple and white tinted rose in the manner observa- ble on receding ocean waves. The flower is of a crisp, prim character which makes it desirable for those who scrutinize their flowers clcsely. A flower of jewel quality. Should have shade.

SHARON (Tiret)—This semi-trailing va-

riety named for the originator’s daughter is of splendid growth and excellent fo- liage with large flowers in the “warm red” group. The flowers are double and well tormed with a medium tube and broad reflexed sepals of palest scarlet. The petals are Rose Bengal splashed with extensions of geranium lake at the base. Blooms early and tolerates some sun. Garden tested.

VALENTINE (Reiter) — This

is-a large semi-double of a new form and coloring. It is notable because of its very long tube and huge widespreading sepals. The tube and sepals are white slightly flushed rose and the inner surface of the sumptuous sepals is of an iridescent granular qual- ity. The semi-double spreading corolla is of the deepest Imperial purple fading to white at the base of each petal. As the flowers mature they fade to deep Cycla- min purple. Growth is strong and loose and the plant is free-blooming for flowers of such size. A glorified Nonpareil with extraordinary sepals and huge size. It should be tested as a hanging variety.

YULETIDE (Tiret)—A tall upright double

red and white. Giant flowered with a large globular creamy white corolla, crimson tube and sepals.
