FLOWERING QUINCES 

CATHAYENSIS HYBRIDS (continued) 
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 in 1943. 
It was conferred specifically on the variety Enchantress.

Letters after varieties indicate sizes available. 
Enchantress—BC. Large shell pink. Bicolored. 
Fire—CE. Brilliant red; early. This is the particular 
variety that was given the A.M.C.H.S. 
Masterpiece—ABC. Rosy-scarlet. 
Mt. Everest—ABC. White. 
Pink Beauty—BCD. Pink. 
Rosemary—ABC. Deep rose. 
San Jose (#317)—ABCD. Deep rose. This was tested 
and named by one of the leading English nurserymen, 
George Jackman & Son of Woking, originators of the 
famous Clematis jackmani, who will introduce it there. 
They recently wrote us “Your Flowering Quince #317 
certainly is a superb variety which will have a definite 
future in this country.” Stock is very limited this 
season, but we want to get the variety “on record”. 
Sunset Glow—ABC. Red to dark rose. 
#326—BCD. Brilliant rose red. 
#327—CDE. Bright rose. 
#338—CDE. Appleblossom; late. 
DR-51—BCD. Brilliant red. 
Dwarf Type 
This variety is entirely unique in the Cathayensis 
Hybrids. Most of them by their great vigor showed 
the prepotency of the Cathayensis “blood”, but this one 
tends toward the Japonica side of the Superba hybrid 
which gives it small fruit, a low compact habit and 
a slight orange cast to the flowers. It should be 
hardier than the main group, probably safe in Zone 
(5). Very interesting from a genetic viewpoint as 
well as being a handsome shrub. It is dwarf only by 
comparison with the other Cathayensis Hybrids as 
it makes a shrub of moderate size. We are using it 
as a parent and hope for some interesting results. 
#304—CDE. Dark red. 
SUPERBA GROUP (4) 
Hybrids (lagenaria x japonica) of medium 
height and growth; fruit of medium size.
