New Cathayensis Hybrid Giant-Flowering Quince (Cydonia) 
CORNUS - Dogwood 
Florida rubra (Pink Dogwood) Each $4.50, Three $12.75, Doz. $45.00 
There are no trees or shrubs which possess a larger measure of attrac- 
tiveness throughout the whole year. The rare pink Dogwood is similar 
in all respects to the common variety except that the flowers are a 
beautiful shade of pink. A good specimen in full bloom is a magnificent 
sight in spring. Does well in shade. We offer plants full of buds, about 
4 to 5 feet tall. 
Kousa chinensis Each $3.50, Three $10.00, Doz. $35.00 
Chinese Dogwood was brought to the Arnold Arboretum from China 
by E. H. Wilson in 1907. The flower heads are extremely large, fre- 
quently 5 to 6 inches across, the white bracts overlapping the but- 
ton-like mass of real flowers in the center. Experts have acclaimed 
this Dogwood as the finest of Chinese plants introduced to America. 
Its flowers are produced in June and hang on in excellent condition 
for nearly a month. The fruits are like large strawberries, and very 
much enjoyed by the birds. Its foliage turns scarlet in autumn. 
This is a rare tree known only to a limited few. It is a magnificent 
improvement over the American Dogwood and we urge you plant 
one as soon as possible so you may enjoy this Oriental beauty soon. 
Ultimate height about 12 to 15 feet.

not yet known in this country. These varieties are outstanding. The size of 
their blooms as well as the quantity in which they are produced is almost

NEW CATHAYENSIS HYBRIDS 
The Cathayensis Hybrids rival Azaleas in brilliancy. Their beautiful 
large flowers come to perfection in those sections of the country where 
temperatures do not go below 20 degrees of frost. They produce enor- 
mous flowers over a very extended period. It appears as if there are 
three or more distinct crops of blossoms during the ten weeks of 
bloom. May be grown further north with protection. Lovely for cut- 
ting and indeed showy in the garden. 
Pink Beauty Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Earliest of all and so prolific it seems to have three crops of gorgeous

flower this and all the other new California Hybrid Quinces will be much 
appreciated.

of this lovely dwarf Quince. It is completely covered with rose suffused 
orange-red flowers from March to May. It is particularly fine for dwarf 
hedges in_its natural form, or it can be clipped if a formal hedge is 
desired. Growing less than 3 feet high, it is no problem to keep it in

well in the flower border along with Tulips and other spring flowers.

trast well with the dark green foliage. A very handsome flower for
