CYDONIA. (Pyrus Japonica.) Quince 



The flowering varieties of the Japan Quince rank among our choicest shrubs. Although of straarslin? growth, they bear 

 the knife well, and with proper pruning may be grown in any form. As single shrubs on the lawn they are very attract- 

 ive, and for the edsre- of border- or group- of trees they are specially adapted. Their lanre. brilliant flowers are amonir the 

 fir-: blo-soms in spring, and they appear in great profusion, covering every branch, branchlet and twig, before the leave- 

 are developed. Their foliage is bright green and glossy, and retains its color the entire summer, which renders the plants 

 very ornamental. Special attention is invited to this plant for ornamental hedges. It i- sufficiently thorny to form a de- 

 fense, and at the same time makes one of the most beautiful flowering hedges. See Hedge Plants.
