Coral Sea. BCD. We first described this 
last year but want to give the coloration more 
exactly. The inside of the blossom, which 
runs up to about 134 inches diameter, is soft- 
est Chinese Coral (H.C.C.:614/1) at the base, 
gradually deepening to soft Mandarin Red 
(H.C.C. 17/2) at the very tips. Like all su- 
perbas, the growth is moderate with rather 
small leathery leaves. It is an extremely 
profuse bloomer, so much so that it should be 
fine for cutting. The seedling first bloomed 
in spring, 1941, so we have had three years to 
observe it with the result that the more we see 
it the better we like it. 
We cannot accept orders for this from west 
of the Rockies as it is being handled exclu- 
sively in that territory by California Nursery 
Co., Niles, California, whose price is $2.00 
$Gr.2'tb Ott. plants: 
Crimson and Gold. E. This was the first of 
our own Quinces to be named. Originally 
offered and described in G. A. ’39. Flowers 
are somewhat cupped, almost as large as 
“Blood Red,” even earlier and with a far 
darker color which is enhanced by the mass 
of golden stamens. Makes a comparatively 
small shrub. One of the very best for cutting 
as buds will open indoors with almost no loss 
of color. 
Early Appleblossom. CD. Coloring is pink 
and white blended. One of the very earliest 
and also profuse. Well liked.

Early Orange. BCD. Extremely early, al- 
ways the first to come into full bloom about 
Dec. Ist here. The flowers are of medium 
size, cupped, nearly pure orange with a sug- 
gestion of coral and borne in great profusion 
making a fine mass effect. 
Juliet. BCDE. On January 10, 1938, that fine 
gardener, Mrs. John A. (Juliet) Scannavino, 
who recently died, saw such of our Quince 
seedlings as were blooming at that early 
date. She was particularly taken with this 
one and said it was “charming.” We said 
nothing then except to agree with her as to 
its beauty, but made a written memo of her 
opinion and a mental one that if on further 
test it proved good enough we would name 
it for her. As subsequent observation only 
increased our good opinion this was done 
and the variety was introduced in 1941. The 
flowers are a lovely soft salmon or coral 
pink, 
Stanford Red. BCDE. Flowers very large, 
opening flat and up to two inches diameter. 
Opens geranium lake and deepends to an 
intensely vivid rich red. Almost thornless; 
good for cutting as flowers keep well. We 
consider this outstanding. 
No. 309. _DE. An improved Coral 
(corallina) of rather low growth. 
No. 319-A. C. Coral shaded greenish-yellow ; 
most unusual coloring. 
No. 337. CDE. Large bright orange-ver- 
milion flowers; very free bloomer. 
Novios4s Er onrimp pink.” + Cree) & 
Azalea Pink 618/1 or Vermilion 18/2. Flow- 
ers large. Early and has a very long season. 
No. 347. DE. The enormous flowers are 
approximately Chinese coral. Grows slowly.
