COTONEASTER. Mispel, Ger. 
C. nummularia. C. Worked four to six feet high on the Mountain Ash, it makes a very handsome small lawn 
tree. 50c. 
CYDONIA. Quince. 
The flowering varieties of the Japan Quince rank among our choicest shrubs- 
Although of straggling growth, they bear the knife well, and with proper pruning 
inav be grown in any form. As single shrubs on the lawn they a re very attractive 
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 prolusion, covering every branch, bmochlet and twig, before the leaves un¬ 
developed. Their foliage is bright green and glossy, and retains its color the 
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.

DAPHNE. Dapline. Seidelbast, Ger. Daphne, Ft. 
I>. Mezereum. Common Mezereon. D. A native of Northern Europe. A shrub with small, erect brunches, 
and clusters of pink flowers in March. The earliest flowering shrub we have. 50c. 
var. alba. I). White flowers. 50c. 
DEUTZIA. Deutzia. Deutzik, Ger. Deutzia, Fr. 
We are indebted to Japan for this valuable genus of plants. Their hardihood, fine habit, luxuriant foliage, and 
profusion of 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. flore pleno. Double-Flowering Deutzia. I). Flowers double white, tinged with rose. Ono 
of the most desirable flowering shrubs in cultivation. (See cut.) 35c. 
II. c. var. flore alba pleno. Double WHITE- FLOWERING Deutzia. D. Similar in habit to the preceding, but 
pure white and double. 35c. 
1). c. var. Pride of Rochester. 1). A variety raised by us from Deutzia crenata flare plena, 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 flare plena. (Sec cut.) 35c. 
1). gracilis. Slender-branched Deutzia. D. A charming species of dwarf habit, introduced from Japan by 
Dr. Siebold. Flowers pure white. Fine for pot culture, as it flowers freely in alow temperature in the 
winter. The first to flower ; about the middle of June. 35e. 
var. anreo varlegata. Golden Variegated Deutzia. 1). (New.) A golden-leaved variety of gracilis. 75c. 
1>. soabra. 1). Flowers bell-shaped, in small bunches ; foliage oval, very rough underneath ; said to bo the true 
variety ; dwarf habit. 50c. 
I), scabra. Rough-leaved Deutzia. 1). One of the most beautiful and profuse white-flowering shrubs; 
flowers single. We have grown this for a long time as scahra. June. 35c. 
I). Watererii. (New.) I). Flowers similar to crenata fl. pi., but more double. 50c. 
DIEE VILLA. Weigela. Diekville, Ger. Wbigklie, 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 all 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 gay-colored foliage contrasting finely 
with the green of other shrubs. They flower after the Lilacs in June. 
I>. arborea grandiflora. I). A variety of vigorous habit, and erect growth; foliage very large; flowers long 
and tube-shaped; of a sulphur white or pale yellow, changing to pale rose. Flowers about two weeks after 
the others. 25c. 
D. Candida. White-flowered Weigela. 1). A valuable variety. All white varieties heretofore known have 
been lacking in some important characteristic. Hartensis nivea, the best and only really white sort, is a
