UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim. 1
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of flowering quince plant, the successful result of definite breeding efforts to produce a semi-hardy, double-flowered, scarlet-red variety.
In 1935 at my greenhouse in Hayward, California, I commenced the breeding efforts that have resulted in my new variety by crossing selected seedlings of Chaenomeles japomca and then through asexual propagation by cuttings, budding and grafting through several generations, these characteristics have been flrmly fixed. thereby perpetuating the novel attributes in its Progeny.
The primary objects in carrying out this invention were to develop and increase the uniformity of the brilliant scarlet-red coloring of the flower and its doubleness of petals, which are largely the distinguishing characteristics of this new variety.
The accompanying illustration shows in full color a typical branch of full-blown blossoms.
The plant of this new variety is a shrub possessing great decorative value in its bushy habit of growth, its sturdy appearance and its distinctive blooms of warm scarlet-red coloring. Its branches support an abundance of leaves (which come out after the flowers) and its flowers form in axillary clusters at intervals along the stem. The flowers are distinctively large in size and double-petaledthe flowers of the ordinary single quince having but 5 petals whereas my new va-' riety has from to 20, the average number being -and in form they are somewhat like the double-flowered peach. At a distance the general tonality of the flowers is scarlet-red but an intimate view shows that each bloom has a contrasting yellow center. Thi new variety is a seasonal bloomer, coming into bloom in the sprin and lasting from three weeks to a month.
I have found that there is no discoloration in the blooms under normal weather conditions. In intense sunlight, such as that of California, the red color fades slightly; but in the climate of Chicago and vicinity, the color remains fast when exposed to sunlight.
Thi new variety is similar in plant structure to the ordinary flowering quince. The shrub is of medium height, 4 to 6 feet; its new foliage is the usual light green (Plate XXXII, color hue 32, tone 1, Color Standards and Color Nomenclature, by Robert Ridgway, 1912) and the old foliage being a shade darker in tone. The apex of the young leaf is tinged with a faint pink coloring. The leaves have the usual size, texture and shape of the average flowering quince. Its spines are really tips of coming branches. Its stems are fairly smooth and brown in color (Plate XLVI, color hue 14, i). The buds are of usual form and size and the flowers have the normal number of stamens and anthers, which are yellow in color, as is also the pollen.
My new variety is more resistant to fire-blight and its branches are more upright in appearance than Double Carmen.
The following is a detailed description of my new variety:
Parentage: Seedling.
Seed parent.--C'haenomeles :lapmzica. Botanic classification. C'haenomeles iaponica. Form-Bushy. Height-4 to 6 feet.
Splnes at tips of branches.
Flower Lasting quality-On plant-excellent; as cut flower-good.
This new variety of flowering quince plant is easily distinguished from other varieties by its brilliant coloring, fullness of bloom, and resistance to disease. These qualities combine to make a good commercial product. It is essentially an ornamental garden shrub but the blossoms have good-keeping qualities when used as cut flowers.
Having thus disclosed my invention, I claim:
A new and distinct variety of flowering quince plant with features in combination substantiallyas shown and described, characterized particularly by the double petalage of the flowers, its scarlet-red coloring, its resistance to disease, and its upright branch growth.
