CYDONIA. Quince. 



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

 Althoug-h of stragg-ling- growth, they boar 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 g-roups of trees they are specially adapted. Their 

 large, brilliant flowers are among- the first blossoms in spring, and they appear in 

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

 developed. Their foliage is bright g-rcen and g-lossy, and retains its color the 

 entire summer, which renders the plants very ornamental. Special attention is 

 invited to this plant for ornamental hedg-es. It is sufficiently thorny to form a 

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

 profusit)n of attractive flowers, render them the most beautiful and deservedly the most popular of flowering shrubs

Another valuable genus from .lapan, 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 lai-ge trumpet-shaped 

 (lowers, of all shades and colors, from pure white to red. In borders and groups of trees they are very efl'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.
