in your own garden.

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 brilliant 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 success- 
fully used for hedging as well as specimen planting. We offer plants 
about 3 feet tall, ready to bloom.
