Pirus (including Cydonia). This is a family of a very large number of species and endless varieties of small trees and shrubs, of wide dis- tribution, furnishing, be- sides our best fruit trees (apples, pears, quinces), a considerable number of ornamentals, both native and exotics; pleasing, some by form, some by foliage, some by flower and fruit.

(250), from the Middle and Western States, with pale red, sweet-scented flowers, appearing with the leaves, followed by a yellow-green fruit; also a variety with double flowers; and — P. spectabilis .\it.
