Flowering Quinces 
(CHAENOMELES, formerly Cydonia) 
All stock is grafted; mainly on Angers Quince. 
Without seeing them, anyone can hardly realize how 
great an improvement has been made in the Flowering 
Quinces by the 10 or 12 years’ work that we have given 
to breeding them. One good indication is the fact that we 
have stopped propagating almost all the older sorts as the 
newer ones are so far superior. 
Incidentally, we are open to make exclusive arrangements 
for the territory east of the Rockies on some of our new 
originations in this group. If interested please write for 
particulars. 
CATHAYENSIS HYBRIDS (5-6) 
These are a new and distinct hybrid species obtained in 
our nursery by crossing C. superba corallina with C. cathay- 
ensis. The plants are vigorous growers, make short laterals 
freely and are heavy bloomers. Some are extremely early 
commencing to bloom in December and January here. All 
have a second crop and some a third. 
This hybrid group was granted an Award of Merit by the 
California Horticultural Society in 1939. We are now very 
proud to report that the same distinction was given it by 
the Royal Horticultural Society of England last spring. 
It was conferred specifically on the variety Enchantress.

Enchantress—BDE. Large bicolored pink. A.M.R.H.S. 
Fire—CDE. This is possibly the finest red in this group 
of hybrids and is now offered to the trade for the first 
time. The color is very brilliant; the petals overlap, 
making a large, full flower; the plant is vigorous and 
productive. It starts to bloom early in the season and 
has three successive crops which here keep it flowering 
steadily from early January till late March. This is 
the particular variety that was given the A.M.C.H.S. 
Masterpiece—ACD. Rosy-scarlet.
