FLOWERING QUINCES 
MINERVA, CD 
A “miniature” Cathayensis Hybrid of low but erect 
growth. Flowers are enormous, deep but vivid rose 
red. 
MT. SHASTA, CD 
Lagenaria hybrid. Buds are lightly tinted lavender 
rose but open white except for faint pinkish laven- 
der at tips. Flowers are unusually large with over- 
lapping petals and borne in utmost profusion. 
Growth moderate. 
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 attrac- 
tive 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. 
ROSY MORN, BCD 
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. 
ROXANA FOSTER, CD 
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 Texas thru The Foster Nurseries, Houston, 
Texas. 
TEXAS SCARLET, CD 
This variety belongs to the Superba group, is of low 
and bushy habit and practically thornless. The flow- 
ers are very large, over 2 in. broad and borne in 
great profusion over a very long period. Color is a 
beautiful watermelon red. Available in Texas thru 
The Foster Nurseries, Houston, Texas.
