For a number of years I collected vintage fabric from the thrift stores and estate sales meaning to sell it on ebay to not the general quilting community but to the conservationist/restoration/recreation market. I can tell you, I can't find it now like I could 20 years ago. After all, they aren't making it any more. It's hard to find, but apple blossom prints like your pink are pretty common. I've had that same one or something very similar in my collection. I'd guess somewhere later than 1940 for it, could be up to 60s.!

Thank you for the information. I didn't even have a name before your post, of what the fabric might have been. Doing a search for vintage "floral fabrics" is not very specific. I am going to give the at home computer printing a shot and see what happens. I will post results if I get the fabric to print.
