COTONEASTERS OF INTEREST TO 

 NURSERYMEN. 

 The current bulletin of the Arnold 

 Arboretum gives considerable space to 

 the Cotoneasters. Many of these 

 plants are now in flower in the shrub 

 collection and among the Chinese 

 plants on Bussey Hill. There are 

 twenty-four species and varieties of 

 these plants established in the Arbore- 

 tum, raised from seeds collected by 

 Wilson in central and western China, 

 and taken as a whole this is the group 

 of shrubs introduced by the Arboretus 

 from China which promises to be of 

 the greatest value for the decoration 

 of New England gardens. For garden 

 purposes they can be arranged accord- 

 ing to their habit of growth, the color 

 of their flowers and the color of their 

 fruit as follows: 



1. Prostrate shrubs with wide-

spreading branches, small red flowers 

 and fruits, and small thick dark 

 green leaves persistent in this climate 

 until the beginning of winter, C ad- 

 pressa, C. apiculata, C. horizontalis 

 and its varieties perpusilla and Wil- 

 sonii; of these varieties perpusilla is 

 much dwarfer than the common form 

 of C. horizontalis, and Wilsonii is 

 taller than the others. 



2. Large shrubs with white flowers 

 and red fruits, C. hupehensis, C. 

 multiflora calocarpa, C. racemi- 

 flora and C. racemiflora soon- 

 gorica. In this group are perhaps the 

 handsomest of these plants. C. hupeh- 

 ensis, is a tall, broad, fast-growing 

 plant with dark green leaves, larger 

 flowers than those of the other species, 

 and large, scarlet fruits. The flowers 

 are in compact clusters which entirely 

 cover the branches, but the fruit has 

 been only sparingly produced in the 

 Arboretum. The other plants in this 

 group have blue-green leaves and 

 gracefully arching stems. The flowers 

 are rather smaller than those of C. 

 hupehensis but the conspicuous fruit, 

 although rather duller in color than 

 the fruit of that species, covers the 

 branches for many weeks in the early 

 autumn. Judged by its gracefully arch- 

 ing branches, its abundant flowers and 

 the size, color, and quality of its 

 fruit, C. racemiflora soongorica is the 

 handsomest of the Chinese Coton- 

 easters which can he grown in this 

 climate and one of the handsomest 

 shrubs of recent introduction. 



3. Shrubs with red flowers and 

 fruits, C. divaricata, C. bullata var. 

 macrophylla, and C. bullata. var. flori- 

 bunda, C. Dielsiana, C. Dielsiana var. 

 elegans, C. Zabellii, C. Zabellii, var. 

 miniata. C. Franchetli, C. obseura. In 

 this group C. divaricata and C. Dielsi- 

 ana and its variety are perhaps the 

 most desirable garden plants. They 

 have wide-spreading, slightly drooping 

 branches, small, dark-green lustrous

leaves, and small rather inconspicuous 

 flowers and fruit. C. Franchetii ap- 

 pears less hardy in the Arboretum 

 than the others. 



4. Shrubs with red flowers and 

 black fruit, C. nitens, C. acutifolia, C. 

 acutifolia var. villosula, C. ambigua, C. 

 foveolata and C. moupinensis. Of this 

 group C. nitens, although the flowers 

 and fruit are small, is perhaps the 

 most attractive, for none of the Chi- 

 nese cotoneasters have more grace- 

 fully spreading branches and more lus- 

 trous leaves; and it may well be placed 

 among the four or five of the handsom- 

 est of all the deciduous leaved spe- 

 cies of Cotoneaster which can be 

 grown in this climate. C. moupinensis 

 and C. foveolata are the tallest of the 

 Chinese Cotoneasters. with much 

 larger leaves than the others, the form- 

 er becoming almost treelike in habit. 

 They are coarse and not very attrac- 

 tive shrubs, but the brilliancy of the 

 autumn color of the leaves of C. foveo- 

 lata entitles it to a place in tbe col- 

 lection. The Chinese Cotoneasters 

 produce great quantities of seeds in 

 the Arboretum and during the last 

 two or three years these have been 

 distributed among American Nursery- 

 men. They are easily raised and grow 

 rapidly so that there seems a chance 

 that the beautiful plants will soon be 

 seen in many American gardens.
