CHAENOMELES (Flowering Quince) 
Often called Cydonia, the Flowering Quince ts one of the best and most 
colorful of flowermg shrubs. 
C. japonica (Japanese Flowering Quince). The large, bright red flowers 
of the Japanese Quince make one of the most attractive spring pictures. 
They are borne in great profusion along the branches before the leaves 
unfold. It is a dwarfish shrub suitable for foundation planting. Our plants 
are waxed or plantected to prevent drying out of the canes. 15 to 18 in., 
$1.35 each; 3 or more, $1.20 each. 11% to 2 ft., $1.60 each; 3 or more, 
$1.45 each. 
C. lagenaria (Red Upright Flowering Quince). This is a taller growing 
form of the popular Flowering Quince, which will reach 6 to 7 feet if 
desired. Its red flowers appear in tremendous quantities all along the 
branches. Very effective for specimen planting, for hedging or the 
shrub border. 11% to 2 ft., $1.60 each; 3 or more, $1.45 each. 2 to 3 ft., 
$1.90 each; 3 or more, $1.75 each, THRIFTY HEDGE GRADE,

CORNUS (Dogwood) 
The shrubby Dogwoods listed here are valued for their bright fruits, 
their red autumn foliage and their highly colored twigs in winter. 
C. alba sibirica (Siberian Red-Twig Dogwood). One of the best flower- 
ing shrubs for winter display because of its vivid coral-red bark. It is 
a very hardy, upright-growing form producing clusters of white flowers 
in May. These are followed by bluish white berries; fall foliage is very 
attractive red. Grows 7 to 9 feet tall. 
C. stolonifera flaviramea (Yellow-[wig Dogwood). Pictured here, 
this is much like the above except that its branches are a very unusual 
and showy yellow. When planted together with the Red-twig type, 
the contrast is most effective.
