CORYLUS. Hazel 
A genus of strong-growing, rather coarse shrubs, 
but well suited for planting belts and masses in large 
plantations. The fruit is also valuable, and the 
shrubs are worthy of culture for this alone. They are 
all hardy and not particular in regard to soil. 
C. Americana. Common Hazel. The nuts produced 
by this species are smaller than those of the Euro¬ 
pean, but are sweet and of fine flavor. Jt makes a 
iarge bush from 4 to 8 feet high, and is found quite 
common in thickets, etc., throughout the northern 
states. 
C. Avellana, var. laciniata. Cut-Leaved Ilazel. A 
form of the European Hazel or Filbert, with the 
foliage deeply incised or laciniated. A striking and 
interesting shrub for grouping, 
var. purpurea. Purple-Leaved Hazel or Filbert. 
The foliage of this attractive form is rich purple on 
first opening out, and for several weeks thereafter, 
but changes to a dark purplish green in autumn. 
It is, however, quite popular and distinct. 
CYDONIA. Quince 
'I his well-known genus, valuable for its fruit, con¬ 
tains but one really ornamental shrub, although there 
are numerous varieties of it in cultivation. They are all 
quite hardy and exceedingly attractive when in bloom, 
being useful not only for the lawn but for hedging 
purposes as well. They will grow in almost any kind 
of soil, even in soils quite retentive of moisture. 
C. Japonica (Syn., Pyrus Japonica). Japan Qjiincc. 
This is certainly one of the most brilliant-flowering 
shrubs in our entire list of available species. We 
grow large blocks of seedlings every year and, as 
they sport into every conceivable tint, a group of 
them is very attractive. The flowers are succeeded 
by large, fragrant green fruits. 
DAPHNE. Daphne 
A genus of low-growing shrubs, noted for the 
exquisite fragrance of their flowers. The following 
are hardy with us, and exceedingly pretty. They 
prefer well-drained, light soil, not too rich in stimu¬ 
lating manures. 
D. cneorum. Dinar) Daphne. This dainty little 
species has persistent leaves. It rarely exceeds 12 
I 
Deutzin erncilis. 
DAPHNE, continued 
inches in height, but is spreading in character. The 
pretty clusters of pink flowers are very agreeably 
fragrant, and continue in bloom for some time dur¬ 
ing early summer. Excellent for edging azalea 
beds, as they require the same kind of soil to thrive 
properly. 
DEUTZIA. Deutzia 
A genus of Japanese shrubs of the greatest use to- 
planters. They are all hardy, rapid in growth, easily 
cultivated and exceedingly attractive in bloom. The 
large-growing kinds are available for screens and 
ornamental hedges. 
D. crenata. Crenate-Lcavcd Deutzia. One of the 
best of hardy shrubs, bearing in June a great pro¬ 
fusion of single white flowers on long, slender 
branches. Preferred by some to the several double- 
flowering varieties. 
var. fl. pi. Double-Pioneering Pink Deutzia. So 
named on account of the distinct pink or reddish 
stripes on the petals of the flowers. The bloom is 
perfectly double, resembling little rosettes, and is 
certainly one of the most distinct of the group, 
var. candidissima. Double IVkite-Floo.eering 
Deutzia. This extremely'beautiful double form has 
snow-white flowers and blooms in the greatest pro¬ 
fusion. It makes up well in flower decorations, 
and is a valuable specimen. 
var. "Pride of Rochester.” A valuable form raised 
at the Mt. Hope Nurseries, Rochester, New York. 
It is rather earlier in flowering than the others; 
double, white, with a tint of rose on back of petals. 
It is also claimed to be more vigorous in growth 
than others. Shown on page 27. 
var. variegala. Variegated-Leaved Deutzia. Simi¬ 
lar to D. crenata , except in the unique and curious 
markings on the foliage, which is striped and 
splashed with pure white in an erratic manner. 
D. gracilis. Slender-Branched Deutzia. One of the 
most valuable shrubs in the entire list, for all pur¬ 
poses. Excellent for forcing under glass, as well as 
for single specimens and grouping on the lawn. It 
is entirely hardy and forms a small round plant, 
blooming freely early in June. Pure white. 
D. hybrida Lemoinei. Lemoine's Deutzia. A newly 
introduced variety obtained by M. Lemoine, of 
France, by crossing D. gracilis on D. par- 
vijlora. Although the habit is dwarf, the 
flowers are large, pure white and produced 
freely. For forcing purposes it is a decided 
acquisition, being superior to D. gracilis 
under glass. 
D. parviflora. Small-F/ozucred Deutzia. In¬ 
troduced from northern China, where it is a 
beautiful large shrub, with stout branches 
and large corymbs of pure white flowers. It 
has proved hardy and valuable with us, as 
well as very' distinct. Quite rare in collec¬ 
tions. 
DIERVILLA. Weigela 
A group of very' beautiful shrubs, easily 
grown and always in demand. They were 
introduced from Japan and are entirely hardy 
u ith us. We adhere to the correct classification 
of Dicrvilta, although the genus is popularly 
known as Weigela. 112
