New California Hybrid Giant-Flowering Quince (Cydonia) 
CRATAEGUS - Thorns 
The Hawthorns are closely related to the crab-apples and other treelike 
members of the Rose family. They are all spitefully thorny and make dense, 
round-headed trees of picturesque appearance, with handsome foliage and 
showy fruits. The Thorns are very hardy, grow well in exposed positions in 
full sunshine, and in almost any soil. Their bold, rugged, branching habit is 
very attractive in winter. In fact, at all seasons of the year, Hawthorns can 
be relied upon to provide beauty of color and form of an unusual type. They 
can be used advantageously in all landscapes, both small or large. 
Cordata (Washington Thorn) Each $2.75, Three $7.00, Doz. $24.00 
It is a 30-foot tree, with long, straight spines and clustered white flowers 
followed by brilliant scarlet fruits. A superb small tree for the small 
as well as the large garden, free from insects and easy to grow. Best 
transplanted while not too large. We offer nice 3- to 4-foot trees that 
will grow rapidly. 
Crus-Galli Each $2.75, Three $7.00, Doz. $24.00 
The European Cockspur Thorn has decorative, wide-spreading, slightly 
drooping branches and slender, sharp spines. It is a mass of white 
blossoms when in bloom, and in the autumn the clusters of brilliant red 
fruits are matched by the orange and scarlet of the foliage. No other 
Hawthorn has such thick, glessy foliage. 
English Stawthorns 
(Crataegus Oxycantha) 
The English Maw or Hawthorn is a lovely flowering shrub or small tree 
about 15 feet high, with spreading branches and stout spines. The leaves 
are broad, the 3 to 5 lobes much toothed. Its flowers are in large clusters 
and produced in immense quantities. The fruits are scarlet. They are 
especially well suited for the small garden or as specimens on the lawn 
where a Maple would be too big and create too much shade. 
Double Pink English Hawthorn Each $2.75, Three $7.00, Doz. $24.00 
Has clusters of flowers of a very pretty pale pink shade. 
Paul’s Scarlet English Hawthorn Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
This is a brilliant rosy red, double-flowered variety. One of the choicest 
ornamenta! trees in existence. Foolproof and hardy; sure blooming. It 
is a joy to see it each spring.

CYDONIA (Chaenomeles) 
One of the first shrubs to bloom in spring. Their brilliant flowers and 
shiny foliage place them among the No. 1 plants for the spring garden. 
They may be allowed to grow into specimen plants or trimmed into hedges. 
Ultimate height about 5 to 6 feet. We offer here a collection of new hybrids 
not yet known in this country. These varieties are outstanding. The size of 
their blooms as well as the quantity in which they are produced is almost 
unbelievable. 
NEW CATHAYENSIS HYBRIDS 
Pink Beauty Each $3.00, Three $8.75, Doz. $28.75 
Earliest of all and so prolific it seems to have three crops of gorgeous 
rose-pink flowers cne after the other. This is perhaps the finest of the 
lot, and longer flowering than any other Japanese Quince. As a cut 
flower this and all the other new California Hybrid Quinces will be much 
appreciated. 
Rosemary Each $3.00, Three $8.75, Doz. $28.75 
Deep rose; gorgeous color; extra heavy bloomer. One of the very best.

Red to dark rose, quite brilliant, blooms heavily, and is early. This 
early crop is followed by a second lot of blooms. 
Masterpiece Each $3.00, Three $8.75, Doz. $28.75 
Rosy scarlet, bright and cheerful, exceedingly free blooming and one 
of the earliest to flower. 
Enchantress Each $3.00, Three $8.75, Doz. $28.75 
Shell-pink, a unique color in Quinces. Flowers are frequently 134 
inches wide, greatly admired by visitors. Very free blooming. One of 
the best. 
Mount Everest Each $3.00, Three $8.75, Doz. $28.75 
Buds lightly flushed lavender-rose. Open flowers pure white with faint 
lavender tips turning to blush-pink when aging. Exceptionally heavy 
bloomer. 
CYDONIA AUREA 
Many shrubs flower in May and June, but few can surpass the beauty 
of this lovely dwarf Quince. It is completely covered with rose suf- 
fused orange-red flowers from March to May. It is particularly fine 
for dwarf hedges in its natural form, or it can be clipped if a formal 
hedge is desired. Growing less than three feet high, it is no problem 
to keep it in form. It makes a perfect picture in front of taller 
shrubs and looks well in the flower border along with Tulips and 
other spring flowers. 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00
