FLOWERING QUINCES 
Flowering Quinces 
Chaenomeles (Cydonia) 
C. cathayensis and its hybrids (6) 
All others (4) 
Our 20 years work in breeding better forms of 
Flowering Quince has been recognized by both 
California Horticultural Society and Royal Horti- 
cultural Society (of England) by their Awards of 
Merit. With two or three exceptions every variety 
we now offer was originated by us. 
N. B.—Cathayensis Hybrids are rated (6) for hardi- 
ness so not recommended for Zone 5 and colder. 
All others should be safe wherever any Flowering 
Quince thrive. 
(Quinces must be ordered in multiples of 5 of 
each variety as they are bundled in that way 
when dug).

Letters after varieties indicate sizes available 
AFTERGLOW, Pat. No. 847, BCD 
Lagenaria type. Flowers are large, double and at 
first snow white gradually becoming soft rose as 
the blossoms age. Leaves are dark green, long and 
slender. Growth is vigorous. 
AURORA, BC 
A “miniature” Cathayensis Hybrid with beautiful 
bi-colored soft pink and carmine-rose flowers, borne 
in great profusion. Late. 
CHARMING, BCD 
Superba type. Long, unbranched thornless shoots 
bear a profusion of soft shell-pink flowers deepen- 
ing toward the ends of the petals. An orderly shrub 
attaining a height of about 6 ft. 
CORAL BEAUTY, BCD 
A superba type of spreading growth likely to be 
wider than tall ultimately. Free blooming; late. 
This variety was selected particularly for its charm- 
ing “pastel” coloring. The flowers, some of which 
are semi-double, are rosy coral, lighter at center. 
The petals are frilled at edges, adding to its beauty. 
We consider this one of our very best varieties. 
MINERVA, CD 
A “miniature” Cathayensis Hybrid of low but erect 
growth. Flowers are enormous, deep but vivid rose 
red.
