ALPHABETICAL LIST OF PLANTS 263 



CoRYDALis (Papaveraceae), Fumitory 



Nearly all the Fumitories are pretty and attractive, and increased 

 by division after flowering ; they are a large family, of which only 

 a selection of the best is here given. 



C. bracteata. — In ordinary soil. Sulphur-yellow flowers and 

 rather thin foliage. Very easy of culture. 



C. cheilianthifolius. — Ordinary soil, rather light. Very pretty 

 fern-like foliage, and clear Naples yellow flowers. Grows about 12 

 inches high. Is of the easiest culture, seeding itself about. A new 

 species, and one of the best. 



C. nobilis. — Likes light, rich soil. Grows about 18 inches high. 

 Fern-like foliage and stout leafy stems with large heads of rich 

 yellow flowers. A handsome plant, easy to grow, but slow to 

 increase. Propagated by division and seeds. 



C. thalictrifolia. — Requires a sheltered position in light soil. 

 Tufted and spreading habit. Distinctive foliage, which in autumn 

 assumes a reddish hue. Grows only about 10 inches high. Large 

 pale yellow flowers borne in racemes. A handsome and new 

 introduction, flowering from spring to autumn. Less hardy than 

 some of the other kinds. 



C. Wilsoni. — Sunny position in ordinary soil. Handsome, divided 

 glaucous leaves and yellow flowers. Grows about 8 inches high. 

 Quite hardy. A recent introduction from China, and likely to prove 

 an addition.

C. ochroleuca. — Pale yellow flowers. 



C. exima. — Bright rose-coloured flowers.

CoTONEASTER (Roseaceae), Rock Spray 



A very large genus of trees and shrubs ; but a few of the dwarf- 

 growing kinds are charming for covering rocks and banks. The 

 following are the most suitable for that purpose : — 



C. adpressa. — Ordinary soil. A very compact, close, and fast- 

 growing prostrate shrub. Rosy-pink flowers, followed by red 

 berries. Deciduous. A new Chinese species, very attractive, and 

 a valuable addition. 



C. congesta numfnularia. — Close, prostrate habit. 



C. horizontalis. — Branches grow fan-shaped, and lie close to a 

 wall or face of a rock. The small, dark green, ovate leaves take a 

 brilliant orange-red tone in the autumn, with vermilion-coloured 

 berries. A fairly fast grower. A charming and valuable shrub. 

 Deciduous.
