CORYLUS Avellana purpurea (Purple Filbert). A large bush, with large dark purple leaves, con- trasting very effectively with the green foliage of other plants. 25 cts. and 50 cts. CRATAEGUS oxyacantha (Hawthorn}. The double-flowering varieties of the English haw- thorn are among the most beautiful shrubs, but our climate does not suit them as well as that of England. The following varieties are among the best : Double White, Double Pink, Double Red and Paul's Double Scarlet. 75 cts. C. Pyracantha (Evergreen Thorn.) A thick, thorny evergreen shrub, often used for hedges; many of the plants are loaded with bright scarlet berries in autumn. 25 cts. CYDONIA Japonica (Japan Quince). One of the most useful deciduous shrubs, whether as a bush in open lawn, in groups, or as an ornamental or de- fensive hedge. The bush is armed with stiff, sharp spines, and with the addition of two or three strands of barbed wire makes a thoroughly defensive hedge for all purposes. The roots run very deep, but do not spread laterally, and will never interfere with adjacent crops. It does not require much trimming, and can easily be kept within proper bounds, but its crowning glory is the brilliant display of scarlet flowers with which it is loaded in spring. A large hedge in full bloom is a sight worth riding several miles to see. Specimen bushes, 25 cts. to 50 cts.; hedge plants, $6 to $15 per 100. (See cut, page 19.) CYDONIA Japonica beautiful, scarce variety, with flowers of a delicate blush or pink shade. 50 cts. CYTISUS scoparius (Scotch Broom.) A low bush, with slender green branches and_small leaves; flowers rich, bright yellow. ~ 25cts. DAPHNE Cneorum. A
