CYDONIA (Chaenomeles) 
One of the first shrubs to bloom in spring. Their brilliant flowers and 
shiny foliage place them among the No. 1 plants for the spring garden. 
They may be allowed to grow into specimen plants or trimmed into hedges. 
Ultimate height about 5 to 6 feet. We offer here a collection of new hybrids 
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 
unbelievable. 
Aurea Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Many shrubs flower in May and June, but few can surpass the beauty of 
this lovely dwarf Quince. It is completely covered with rose suffused 
salmon-tinted yellow 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 form. It makes a perfect picture in front of taller shrubs and looks 
well in the flower border along with Tulips and other spring flowers. 
Kermesina Semi-Plena Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
The semi-double flowers are rose-pink and produced in abundant quan- 
tities early in spring. A very attractive early flowering double Quince 
only found in a few choice gardens.

well with the dark green foliage. A very handsome flower for cutting 
as well as a fine early flowering shrub for the border, 
Three Hybrid Cydonias 
The beautiful hybrid Cydonias offered under this heading are great im- 
provements and, as soon as they become more plentiful and better known, 
will be universally grown. Our stock is decidedly limited. We, therefore, 
urge you to send for yours at once and be one of the first to have them 
in your own garden. 
Stanford Red Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This new hybrid we believe to be the finest red hardy Quince in cultiva- 
tion. The flowers are extraordinarily large, open Geranium-red and 
deepen to an intense blood-red of great strength and carrying power. 
It is excellent for cutting, the flowers lasting a long time and in addi- 
tion, it’s almost thornless. A beautiful shrub to grow with white Tulips. 
A “must” for your garden. We offer strong, 3- to 4-foot plants, ready 
to bloom. 
Coral Sea Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
One of the loveliest spring flowering shrubs. The soft buff-coral blooms 
cover the slender branches through what seems two distinct blooming 
seasons in spring. This prolonged flowering makes Coral Sea a very 
valuable variety. It not only is delightful in the garden but you will 
value it highly as a cut flower, its color blending beautifully with other 
spring flowers. You will surely want this. We offer 3- to 4-foot plants, 
ready to bloom. 
Juliet Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Soft salmon-pink blooms in great profusion cover the long, strong stems 
of this so recent introduction. Cheerful outdoors and superb for cutting. 
A variety we feel sure will be planted in every garden as soon as it 
becomes known and plants are available. Combines beautifully with 
lavender and yellow Tulips, or other spring flowers. We offer 3- to 4- 
foot plants that will flower this year. 
De 
Daphnes are lovely, fragrant plants and the two varieties offered give 
bloom from very early spring to May and, occasionally, through the summer. 
Both are of delicious fragrance and dainty, compelling beauty. They are 
hardy with little protection except in the coldest sections of the country. 
Culture. They prefer a sunny position in well drained, sandy soil. In order 
to keep the evergreen foliage perfect, protect it with a little straw during 
the coldest part of the winter. The plants will withstand temperatures as 
low as 10 below zero. Water sparingly in summer. Daphnes will not grow 
well in cold, poorly drained soil. 
*Cneorum (Garland Flower) 
These shrubs are of spreading habit and do not grow 
over 8 to 12 inches high; producing delicately perfumed, 
rose-pink blossoms. The flowers completely cover the 
plant not only in spring but again in early autumn. As 
an edging plant in front of evergreens or shrubs, it is 
unequalled. It also forms a splendid low hedge along 
garden walks and around flower beds.

Coral Beauty Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00

it also most desirable. The plants we send are about 3 feet tall and 
ready ta bloom. 
Knaphill Scarlet Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
This fine flowering Quince originated in England and is a a choice low 
growing plant. Eight-year-old specimens in our nursery are about 16 
inches high and 18 inches across. It forms a small mound which in 
early spring is completely covered with big vermilion-red flowers. An 
ideal variety for planting in front of the shrub border or foundation 
plantings; it may alse be used for low edgings. Knaphill Scarlet will 
unquestionably become as great a favorite here as it is in Europe. We 
offer nice bushy specimens about 12 to 15 inches high. 
NEW UPRIGHT CYDONIA, SPITFIRE 
(Plant Patent No. 830) 
Perfect for Hedges and Single Specimens 
Here is a fine, early flowering shrub with excellent habit. It 
grows upright to a height of about 6 to 7 feet when mature. It may 
be held down to 4 or 5 feet if you wish by simply topping it once or 
at the most twice a year; side pruning is not necessary. The flowers 
are large and deepest crimson-red. The upright stems are covered 
with them from the ground up. You can well imagine what a bril- 
liant effect is made when Spitfire Cydonia is used for a hedge. The 
plants are not more than 2 feet across when mature so that it is an 
excellent subject to use as a single specimen as well as in shrub 
plantings where space is limited. No flower buds have ever been 
killed nor has there been any damage from frost to the wood in 
temperatures as low as 15 degrees below zero. We have had this 
plant under test for ten years and think it is a fine addition to 
flowering shrubs that may be successfully used for hedging as well 
as specimen planting. We offer plants about 3 feet tall, ready to 
bloom,
