ODD CHINESE QUINCE 
The most striking thing about the Chinese flowering quince is its huge 
fruit, in comparison with the Japanese quince whose small, irregular, 
pocket-size fruit is familiar to all. Its flowers and fruit are not abundant 
on individual plants and the small tree is not especially ornamental. But, 
no one grows it much. Let us’ believe, however, that to see the plant with 
its occasional large fruit is rather thrilling. It may be a solitary specimen 
that seems somehow misplaced, hung on the plant as an ornament. Its 
leaves are larger than those of the familiar Japanese species, the occasional 
flowers are light pink and the lonely fruits about 6 inches. As a real oddity, 
every nurseryman should have it on his grounds. It can be a reminder of 
the delicious fragrance of the smaller fruit of the Japanese quince. This 
Chinese fruit resembles that of a large pear. 
Styrax Japonica, a “most valuable small tree.” See page 38. 
A FASCINATING HOBBY 
Growing Azaleas is a hobby which provides an ever increasing source of 
interest. There are so many species to be had and so many almost breath- 
taking new hybrids being produced, that one is amazed at the magnificent 
display that we may have with only a small space of ground and a few of 
the newer plants that are now being offered. If you want a stimulating (and 
profitable hobby that grows more interesting, beautiful and valuable every 
year, then grow azaleas. 
Many items in this catalog will undoubtedly be sold out before the season
