spurs on the branches similar to the 
growth of Pyracantha lalandi. Others 
are bushy and spreading. SNOW is one 
of the tallest varieties while ROXANA 
FOSTER is very low growing. 
8. Size and Color of Flowers. The f!ow- 
ers vary in width from 1% inches to 2% 
inches. Some open flat while others are 
more or less cup shaped. The colors range 
through different shades of coral, buff- 
coral, coral-pink, salmon, pink, rose, 
rose red, Mandarin red, blood-red, ma- 
roon, scarlet, cardinal, shell-pink, peach 
and white. 
9. Time of Bloom. They have a much 
longer blooming season than the old fash- 
ioned kinds. Some of them begin bloom- 
ing here in late November and b!oom for 
a period of three months. Other kinds 
begin later and bloom for a like period. 
In colder sections they begin in late win- 
ter and early spring and bloom over a 
long period. The older p'ants bloom over 
a longer period than the younger and 
more recently transplanted plants. 
10. Cut Flowers. For early flowers the 
cut branches will come into bloom if 
placed in water in the house. The flow- 
ers are long lasting when cut. Used alone 
or in combination with other flowers 
many beautiful and unusual arrangements 
may be made. 
11. Planting Season. Except for periods 
when the ground in your section may be 
frozen the New Flowering Quinces may 
be planted at any time from mid-October 
to mid-May. Dormant plants are carried 
in storage until the end of the planting 
season. Some kinds are usually sold out 
before the end of the season so we sug- 
gest early ordering. Plants will be shipped 
at any time you specify. We usually have 
a limited number of plants growing in 
containers for summer planting. Shipping 
charges are higher on these plants.
