VARIEGATED CORNELIAN CHERRY. 



CYDONIA. Quince. 



The flowering' varieties of the Japan Quince rank among- our choicest shrubs. Although 

 of stragghng- growth, they bear the knife well, and with proper pruning may be grown in 

 any form. As single sliiubs on the lawn, they are very attractive, and for the edges of 

 borders or groups of trees they are specially adapted. Their large, brilliant flowers are 

 among the first blossoms in Spring, and they appear in great profusion, covering every 

 branch, bi anchlet and twig, before the leaves are developed. Their foliage is blight green 

 and glossy, and retains its color the entire Summer, which renders the plants very orna- 

 mental. Special attention is invited to this plant tor ornamental hedges. It is sufficiently 

 thorny to form a defense, and at the same time makes one of the most beautiful flowering- 

 hedges. See Hedge Plants.
