CoTONE.\sTERS. If Mr. Wilson had 

 done nothing more than introduce 

 the large number of species of beauti- 

 ful hardy Cotoneasters for the embel- 

 lishment of the gardens and parks of 

 northeastern America, he would then 

 have achieved a splendid success. We 

 have a number of them under cultiva- 

 tion and some of the most distinctive 

 are as fallows: Cotoneaster amoena is 

 a dense, compact shrub. The flowers 

 are inconspicuous but the globose, 

 orange-red berries are very ornamental 

 in October and November. C. divari- 

 cata is an upright, robust shrub, 

 thickly covered with small deep green, 

 glossy leaves. The ovoid bright red 

 fruits are remarkably pretty in Sep- 

 tember. C. foveolata is a most vigor- 

 ous growing species with larger leaves 

 than most of the other kinds. The 

 flowers have a reddish appearance and 

 the fruit is black. The foliage turns 

 to orange-red in the Autumn. C. 

 Franchetii is a most graceful shrub 

 with branches somewhat pendulous. 

 The leaves are most attractive, deep 

 green above and whitish beneath. 

 The small flower corymbs have a 

 pinkish appearance. The ovoid orange- 

 red fruits ripen in October and Novem- 

 ber and are very attractive. C. Hen- 

 ryana is a low spreading shrub with 

 distinct, oblong, dark green leaves. 

 The whitish flower clusters are attrac- 

 tive. The fruit is red. C. multiflora is 

 perhaps the showiest flowering of all of 

 the Cotoneasters. The white flowers, 

 borne on the arching branches, are 

 very beautiful. The roundish bluish 

 green leaves are very attractive. C. 



Zabelii is a beautiful shrub with slen- 

 der, graceful, spreading branches and 

 oval leaves, dull green above, yellow- 

 ish white below. It has pinkish flower 

 corymbs and roundish, red, drooping 

 fruit clusters in September. 



Bekberis. a large number of 

 beautiful new barberries have come 

 from western China. Berberis aggre- 

 gata is an upright dense growing 

 shrub with brownish red stems, small- 

 ish tapering leaves, deep green above, 

 pale below. The dense spikes of yel- 

 low flowers are borne on the branch- 

 lets during the first week in July. B. 

 dictyophylla is the most distinct of 

 all of the barberries. The angular 

 branchlets are covered with a white 

 bloom. The leaves are pale green 

 above and chalky white beneath, 

 which gives the whole plant a whitish 

 aspect. The fruit is dark blue with a 



glaucous bloom. It is a very interest- 

 ing species. B. polyantha is a very 

 dense upright species with the lower 

 branches spreading. The small leaves 

 ai'e obovate. olive green above, whitish 

 beneath. It has dense compound 

 spikes of yellow flowers during the 

 first week in July. B. Poiretii latifolia 

 is a beautiful dense shrub with a 

 drooping habit and has showy red 

 fruit in the autumn. B. verruculosa 

 is a hardy, handsome low evergreen 

 barberry from western Szechuan. A 

 really hardy evergreen barberry is 

 very desirable. Our plants are about 

 one foot high. The dense branches, 

 thickly covered with small deeply 

 lustrous green leaves, render it most 

 attractive. The small deep yellow 

 flowers are very pretty. B. Wilsonae 

 is a dense compact bush thickly 

 covered with very small tapering 



Primula Malacoides Rosea
