Flowering Quinces 
We are so nearly sold out that it seems silly to offer 
any variety list. While they last we can take orders for 
assorted varieties of our selection as follows:

Pink Lady (4) 
Pure clear pink. Growth is spreading with long 
slender branches often so closely set with moderately 
large flowers as to make sprays two feet long. It is 
one of our earliest but has three successive crops so 
that here it blooms profusely from early January to 
end of March or even into early April. The plant is 
absolutely thornless! Belonging to the super le group 
it will attain only moderate size. 
Snow (4) 
Flowers are the laceest pure white we have ever 
seen, the best. attaining 2% inches in width. They are 
free from any shading of lemon or cream. Belonging 
to the lagenaria group its growth is very vigorous 
and will make a large plant. Blooms late and should 
be hardy wherever any flowering quince can be 
grown. 
Cynthia (6) 
The large flowers open bicolored soft rose but soon 
become peach pink faintly suffused buff or chamois. 
Petals are large and overlap making a fine full flow- 
er with an unusual number of stamens enhancing 
its pleasing effect. This variety is an unusual hybrid 
(C. japonica X cathayensis) blooming in late spring 
in great profusion. On account of the cathayensis 
‘blood’ we do not believe it will be hardy north of 
zone 6 but it should be fine from there to the Gulf 
States as well as on the Pacific Coast. We consider 
it one of the finest we have developed to date. 
The first two varieties will thrive where any Flowering 
Quince is hardy. The last (Cynthia) is reeommended only 
for zone 6 and south, although it may be hardier than we 
suspect.
