Worked four to six feet high on the Mountain Ash, it makes a very handsome small lawn C nummularia. tree. 50c. CYDOXIA. Quince. The flowering1 varieties of the Japan Quince rank among- our choicest shrubs- Although of straggling- growth, they bear the knife well, and with proper pruning may be grown in any form. As single shrubs on the lawn they are 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 profusion, covering every branch, branchlet and twig, before the leaves are 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. See Hedge Plants. C. Japonica. Scarlet Japan Quince. D.
