CYDONIA. Quince. 



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

 Although of strag-gling- g:rowth, they bear the knife well, and with proper pru nin^ 

 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 everj' 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 

 Invited to this plant for ornamental hedges. It is sufficiently thorny to form a 

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

DEUTZIA. Deiitzia. Deutzie, Ger. Deutzia, Fr. 



We are indebted to Japan for this valuable genus of plants. Their hardihood, fine habit, luxuriant foliage, and 

 profusion of attractive flowers, render them the most beautiful and deservedly the most popular of flowering shrubs 

 at the present time. The flowers are produced the latter part of June in racemes four to six inches long.

than Deutzia crenata flore pleno. (See cut.) 35c. 

 D. gracilis. Slender-branched Deutzia. D. A charming species of dwarf habit, introduced from Japan by

DIEKVILiIiA. Weig'ela. Diervillb, Ger. Weigelie, Fr. 



Another valuable genus from Japan, introduced as late as 1843. Shrubs of erect habit while young, but gradu- 

 ally spreading and drooping as they acquire age. They produce in June and July superb large trumpet-shaped 

 flowers, of all shades and colors, from pure white to red. In borders and groups of trees they are very eft'ective, 

 and for margins the variegated-leaved varieties are admirably suited, their gay-colored foliage contrasting finely 

 with the green of other shrubs. They flower after the Lilacs In June. 



D. arborea grandiflora. D. A variety of vigorous habit and erect growth ; foliage very large ; flowers long
