Flowers somewhat cupped, as large as “Blood 
Red” but of much deeper color, rich velvety 
red with a mass of golden stamens. Belongs 
to Ch. superba group so plant is of moderate

CATHAYENSIS HYBiRIDS 
The following group of new hybrid Flowering Quinces con¬ 
stitutes a new and entirely distinct class or species. They 
are the result of crossing Ch. cathayensis onto Ch. superba 
corallina. Growth is vigorous with stout branches well 
supplied with short laterals. Most of them bloom in ex¬ 
treme profusion, often giving a solid mass along the 
branches for as much as two feet with a diameter of six 
or eight inches. Flowers are large and colors brilliant. 
Fruit large. Some are much earlier than any other Flow¬ 
ering Quinces we have ever seen, and we have one of 
the largest collections in the U. S. for comparison. We 
have flowered them for the last two years and selected 
the following numbers for propagation out of several 
hundred seedlings. They are not patented and we are not 
reserving propagation rights, but distinctly do reserve the 
right to name later both the group and the individual 
varieties. We will greatly appreciate reports on their be¬ 
havior in different parts of this country and abroad.
