CYDONIA Japonica. Japan Quince. Very early in spring this fine 
old shrub is completely covered with dazzling scarlet flowers. It 
makes a beautiful flowering and defensive hedge. It is, however, a 
notable host plant for the San Josd scale, and should not be planted 
in infested districts. 
CORCHORUS. See Kerria. 
DAPHNE Cneorum. Garland Flower. A charming dwarf ever- 
green shrub, with fine foliage and dainty clusters of pink, perfumed 
flowers in May. Blooms at intervals until September. 
DEUTZIA scabra, var. plena (crenata). A double form of the 
type Handsome and effective. The white flowers are delicately 
flushed with pink. 
var. Pride of Rochester. A showy early and late-flowering sort 
that blooms in May before the others. The flowers are large, double, 
white, tinted with rose on the outer edge. 
var. Watereri. A superb new sort, with large flowers borne in large, 
loose racemes. They are a pretty pink color and open out quite flat. 
The shrub is extra vigorous and hardy. 
Deutzia gracilis 
D. gracilis. A neat, dense little bush, of low habit, that blooms in 
May, wreathing its drooping branches with pure white flowers. 
D. Lemoinei. Lemoine’s Deutzia. May. A popular bush with snow- 
white flowers borne abundantly along the slender branches, 
var. compacta. Similar to the above, but of more compact habit. 
In Dayton the Deutzias should have some winter protection until 
they are established. They are very satisfactory shrubs and will well 
repay the little extra care necessary to protect them.
