FLOWERING QUINCES 
MT. SHASTA, BCD 
Lagenaria hybrid. Coloring resembles Mt. Everest, 
buds are lightly tinted lavender rose but open 
white except for faint pinkish lavender at tips. Flow- 
ers are unusually large with overlapping petals and 
borne in utmost profusion. Growth moderate. Of- 
fered for the first time this season. 
NASTURTIUM, BCD 
A Cathayensis seedling of vigorous, erect growth, 
unquestionably outstanding for color and enormous 
well shaped flowers, the largest 214 in. broad. The 
color is distinctly unique, Chinese Coral aging to 
Nasturtium Red; mid-late. Leafs out late so foliage 
does not obscure flowers. Received Award of Merit 
California Horticultural Society 1950 and offered 
for the first time this season. 
RED RUFFLES, BCD (Plant Pat. No. 941) 
A Lagenaria type of medium strong, erect, growth 
almost thornless. The flower petals are so large they 
overlap producing an attractive ruffled effect — 
something entirely new in Flowering Quinces. The 
color is a dazzling brilliant red. We believe this to 
be the best red to date. Offered for the first time 
this season. 
ROSY MORN, CD 
A Superba type but may have some Cathayensis 
“blood.” Medium height and bushy habit. Flowers 
are very large, over 2 in. broad and borne profusely. 
The color is decidedly out of the ordinary, a very 
soft carmine to Porcelain Rose. The showiest of the 
early varieties but also produces a very late crop 
giving it a remarkably long flowering season. Offered 
for the first time this season. 
ROXANA FOSTER, BCD 
A Superba type of slow and orderly growth, branch- 
ing freely. The color is deep shell pink in center, 
deepening to carmine rose at tips. The flowers are 
borne in remarkable profusion in mid-season. Avail- 
able in the Southeastern States and Texas thru The 
Foster Nurseries, Houston, Texas. 
RUBY GLOW, CD 
A strong, erect growing Superba type, nearly thorn- 
less. The flowers are dazzling rich red with showy 
golden stamens. Petals are beautifully frilled or 
ruffled. Mid-late.
