The American Fuchsia Registration Service was established in
1954 to work toward eliminating duplicate cultivar names. The
International Society for Horticultural Science appointed the
American Fuchsia Society the International Registration Authority
for Fuchsia Cultivars in 1967.
The Society encourages all fuchsia hybridizers to register their cultivars. At the same time we strongly urge that all new cultivars be thoroughly tested and evaluated before they are named and registered. Each new fuchsia that is offered to the public should be distinctly better or different from existing varieties.
Each registration request form must be accompanied by a registration fee of $1.00 (US). The fee is needed to defray the expense of processing the registrations. The fee was recommended by the 2002 EuroFuchsia Organization and approved by the American Fuchsia Society Board of Directors.

Notes on Registration Descriptions
Registration forms are typically submitted by the hybridizers during the period from September through November 15. Hybridizers in Europe submit their forms to Simonne Gijsels who lives in Hoboken (near Antwerp) Belgium. Simonne screens the forms for accuracy, makes necessary corrections and forwards the forms to the Registrar, Ed Salome. The descriptions are developed from the forms by the Registrar, assisted by Jean Durbin of the Eureka Branch. The Registrar then issues certifi cates and complete descriptions of the new cultivars to the hybridizers.
The descriptions are then abbreviated and forwarded to the AFS Bulletin Editor, Rodney Bergquist, for publication.
