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.

SAMPLE SHIPMENT—To help you get acquainted with these delightful
flowering plants we make a special offer of 1 dozen plants all named and
different for $3.50. These plants to be of our selection, although you may desig-
nate varieties you already have and we will not duplicate.

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.
