They are shrubs or small trees, and are native from Mexico south to Chile, and in New Zealand. There is a popular myth that fuchsias owe their introduction into Europe to a garden-minded sailor who brought back a plant from a South American voyage and presented it to his mother in London. However, there are records to show, as indicated in a publication of the California Fuchsia Society called A to Z on Fuchsias, that a fuchsia from Chile was given to Kew Gardens by a sea captain in 1788. The "sailor's myth" is believed to have been concocted to cover the fact that a plant was somehow smuggled out of Kew and into the channels of commercial trade. First records of fuchsias date back to 1703 when Father P. Car los Plumier, a French missionary and botanist who had hunted for the chmehona or quinine tree in Santo Domingo, published the description of a fuchsia he found there. The name fuchsia was ap plied to the new plant in honor of Leonhart Fuchs, a German botanist who was born in 1501. It is not known who brought the first fuchsias to the United States, or when. Thev were in troduced prior to 1854 because in that year in San Francisco a woman exhibited 12 varieties of fuchsias at a flower show. The possibilties o hybridizing were recognized as early as 1825 This creating of new varieties has been going on ever since, and in the 150 years since discovery of this group, an estimated 2,000 named varieties are the result of intensive crossing and re-cross ing. A few of the old varieties still available are: The President, 1841; Prince of Orange, 1872 Rose of Denmark, 1865; Storm King, I860; Rose of Castile, 18B9; California, 1843; and Venus Vic trix, 1842, the plant from which many fuchsia innovations have been derived. It was the first white-tubed variety. The new varieties that come out each year show their ancestry in many ways; petal and sepal form and color, size ?tnA growth-habit of the plant, and shape, size and color of the leaves. bociety, Women's Organizations ANN CONNELL, Society Editor Goldenweds To Be Feted Mr. and Mrs. J.
