CORYLUS. Hazel A genus of strong-growing, rather coarse shrubs, i but well suited for planting belts and masses in large plantations. The fruit is also valuable, and the shrubs are worthy of culture for this alone. They are all hardy and not particular in regard to soil. C. Americana. Common Hazel. The nuts produced by this species are smaller than those of the Euro- pean, but are sweet and of fine flavor. It makes a large bush from 4 to 8 feet high, and is found quite common in thickets, etc., throughout the northern states. C. Avellana, var. laciniata. Cut-Leaved Hazel. A form of the European Hazel or Filbert, with the foliage deeply incised or laciniated. A striking and interesting shrub for grouping, var. purpurea. Purple-Leaved Hazel or Filbert. The foliage of this attractive form is rich purple on first opening out, and for several weeks thereafter, but changes to a dark purplish green in autumn. It is, however, quite popular and distinct. CYDONIA. Quince This well-known genus, valuable for its fruit, con- tains but one really ornamental shrub, although there are numerous varieties of it in cultivation. They are all quite hardy and exceedingly attractive when in bloom, being useful not only for the lawn but for hedging purposes as well. They will grow in almost any kind of soil, even in soils quite retentive of moisture. C. Japonica (Syn., Pyrus Japonica). Japan Quince. This is certainly one of the most brilliant-flowering shrubs in our entire list of available species. We grow large blocks of seedlings every year and, as they sport into every conceivable tint, a group of them is very attractive. The flowers are succeeded by large, fragrant green fruits.
