FLOWERING QUINCES 
Flowering Quinces 
Chaenomeles (Cydonia) (4-5) 
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. 
(Quinces must be ordered in multiples of 5 of 
each variety as they are bundled in that way 
when dug). 
1956 INTRODUCTION 
CLARKE'S GIANT RED (Pat. App. for) 
The more than 20 years of Quince breed- 
ing by the late W. B. Clarke has result- 
ed in producing what we believe to be 
the largest and finest red flowering 
Quince to date. Clarke's Giant Red 
is a deep, bright red of great brilliancy, 
214, inches or more in diameter. The 
enormous overlapping petals and prom- 
inent golden stamens make a showy con- 
trast. It is an orderly shaped shrub with 
dark green serrated foliage. Extremely 
free blooming, having several crops of 
blossoms, resulting in a long flowering 
season.
