CYDOl^^IA. Quince. 



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

 straggling 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 attractive, and for the edges of borders or 

 groups of trees they are specially adapted. Their large, brilliant flowers are among the fii'st 

 blossoms in spring, and they appear in great profusion, covering every branch, branchlet and 

 twig, before the leaves 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 in- 

 vited to this plant for 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.
