CYDONIA. Quince. 
I he flowering- varieties of the Japan Quince rank among- our choicest shrubs- 
Although of straggling growth, they b. ar the knife well, and with proper pruning 
may be grown in any form. As single sliru bs on the lawn t hey are very at tractive, 
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 every branch, branchlet and twig, before the leaves are 
developed. J heir foliage is bright green and glossy, and retains its color tie- 
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 most beautiful flowering hedges

var. alba. J3. White flowers. 50c. 
DEUTZIA. Deutzia. D&utzijs, Ger. Deutzia, Fr . 
We are indebted to Japan for this valuable genus of plants. Their hardihood, flue habit, luxuriant, foliage, and 
profusion ot 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. 
I>. crenata var. fiore pleno. Double-flowering Deutzia. 13. Flowers double white, tinged with rose. One 
of the most desirable flowering shrubs in cultivation. (See cut.) 35c.

pure white and double. 35c. 
J). c. var. Pride of Rochester. 13. A variety raised by us from Deutzia crenata fiore pleno , and producing large 
double white flowers; the back of the petals being slightly tinted with rose. It excels all of the older sorts 
in size of flower, length of panicle, profuseness of bloom and vigorous habit; blooms nearly a week earlier 
than Deutzia crenata fiore pleno. (See cut.) 35c. 
J>. gracilis. Slender-branched Deutzla. 13. A charming species of dwarf habit, introduced from Japan by 
Dr. Siebold. Flowers pure white. Fine for pot culture, as it flowers freely in a low temperature in the 
winter. The first to flower; about the middle of June. 35c.

variety; dwarf habit. 50c.

DIER VILLA. Weigela. Dierville, 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 ail shades and colors, from pure white to red. In borders and groups of trees they are very effective, 
and for margins the variegated-leaved varieties are admirably suited, their gav-colored foliage contrasting finely 
with the green of other shrubs. They flower after the Lilacs in June. 
D. arborea grand iflora. 13. A variety of vigorous habit and erect growth; foliage very large; flowers long 
and i ube-shaped; of a sulphur white or pale yellow, changing to pale rose. Flowers about two weeks after 
the others. 35c. 
13. Candida. White-flowered Weigela. 13. A valuable variety. All white varieties heretofore known have 
been lacking in some important characteristic. HnrtenMs nivea , the best and only really white sort, Is a
