CYDOXIA. 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 first blossoms in spring, and they appear In 

 great profusion, covering every branch, branchlet and twig, before the leaves are 

 developed. Their fohage 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 is suflBciently thorny to form a 

 defense, and at the same time makes one of the most beautiful flowering hedges.
