CRAT/EGUS cordata. Washington Hawthorn. 15 to 30 
ft. A most attractive Hawthorn with its lustrous bright 
green foliage coloring beautifully in autumn and its 
large, conspicuous clusters of scarlet berries which stay 
on the plant until spring. 
C. Crus-galli. Cockspur Thorn. 20 to 25 ft. A small tree 
with wide-spreading, pendulous branches, white flowers 
profusely and conspicuously borne, and deep green, 
shiny leaves. The leaves assume brilliant orange and 
red shades in the autumn and the showy, bright red 
fruit, if left by the birds, remains on until spring. 
C. Oxyacantha. English Hawthorn. 10 to 15 ft. This 
large shrub has pleasingly fragrant white flowers and red 
berries. It is worthy of a place in more lawns. 
CRYPTOMERIA japonica. 80 to 100 ft. This unusual 
pyramidal tree is used extensively in China and Japan 
both for ornamental purposes and as a timber tree. In 
this country it is at its best while still young as it loses 
some of its beauty when it becomes mature. It has 
bluish evergreen leaves on spreading branches which 
curve up at the ends. 
CUNNINGHAMIA lanceolata. 50 to 80 ft. A new and 
rapid-growing tree of good form and appearance. The 
branches are pendulous at the extremities. It is prob¬ 
ably the fastest grower of all the conifers and is used 
extensively in China for reforestation. 
Chionanthus virginica (White Fringe) 
CYDONIA japonica. Flowering Quince. 4 to 6 ft. These 
seedlings are from a superior strain that turns out uni¬ 
formly good. The well-known shrub has spreading, 
spiny branches, glossy green foliage, clusters of flowers 
that open in the very early spring, and apple-shaped 
fruit, a high yellow-green, that may be used in making 
delicious jellies and preserves. The flowers range in 
color from light pink through deep red. We have some 
selected colors. 
C. japonica alba. White-flowering Quince. 4 to 6 ft. A 
pure white form of Japonica that is unusual and very 
beautiful. 
C. japonica rosea. Pure pink. 
C. japonica rubra. Deep red. 
CYPRESS. See Chamaecyparis and Taxodium.

grant, clear pink flowers borne in profusion in April and 
unusual gray-green foliage. This is a rare plant and a 
most beautiful one. 
DASYLIRION texanum. Saw-tooth Yucca. 2 to 3 ft. 
This satisfactory plant which resembles the yucca is 
very effective when planted in evergreen clumps. 7 he 
white flowers bloom on a central stem 6 to 8 feet in 
height, and the pointed leaves have hooked teeth along 
the edges.
