WOODY PLANTS FOR NEW ENGLAND 21 



for making unpruned, informal hedges. Varieties major and elegans are of little 

 garden interest beyond the fact that their foliage is respectively larger and 

 smaller than the type. 



COTONEASTER DIVARICATA SPREADING COTONEASTER 



In habit, much like C. Dielsiana but with darker green foliage and slightly 

 larger, more prominent, red fruits. Also useful for grouping or for informal 

 hedge making. 



COTONEASTER FOVEOLATA 



A vigorous, stout-branched, deciduous shrub growing up to some ten feet in 

 height. Its general aspect, together with autumn properties of red or orange 

 foliage and black fruits, puts its garden value at about that of some of the 

 Viburnums. 



COTONEASTER HORIZONTALS ROCK COTONEASTER 



A rather well-known semi-evergreen species which is much liked because of 

 the regular, two-ranked arrangement of the branchlets on its horizontally 

 reaching main stems, glossy foliage, and small but numerous, late, red fruits. 

 Against all of these fine qualities lies the lack of true top-hardiness so necessary 

 if full garden value is to be brought out. It is now losing out to C. apiculata 

 for use in large-scale plantings. The var. PERPUSILLA, with larger and 

 more interesting foliage, is now preferred to the type. 



COTONEASTER HUPEHENSIS Hupeh Cotoneaster 



A fine, six-foot, deciduous shrub which, in addition to the pleasing arch of 

 its branches, the purplish sheen of its foliage, the early autumn show of it's 

 brilliant red fruit, and the later yellowing of its leaves, is valuable because of 

 its May-borne clusters of white flowers. Such a plant is useful even though 

 the flowers do throw off an odor which has been considered by some to be 

 distasteful. 



COTONEASTER MICROPHYLLA var. THYMIFOLIA THYME RoCKSPRAY 



A low, spreading, evergreen, rock-garden shrub which has small shiny leaves, 

 tiny pinkish flowers in clusters in the spring, and scarlet berries in autumn. 

 It will need protection to be evergreen inland. 



COTONEASTER RACEMIFLORA var. SOONGORICA 



A loose, graceful, slender-branched, six-foot, deciduous shrub with gray 

 foliage, of value chiefly because of its numerous red or coral fruits. Rated by 

 some as the best species of its habit; considered by others to be. difficult of 

 cultivation. 



Cotoneaster salicifolia var. floccosa 



A tender, semi-evergreen shrub which is not satisfactory in New England 

 except in warmer sections near the sea. When happy, it becomes a graceful 

 plant with narrow shining leaves and the ability to put on a startling late- 

 autumn fruiting display. 



Crabapple — See Malus 



Cranberry — See Vaccinium macrocarpum 



Cranberry-Bush — See Viburnum trilobum 



Crataegus 



In New England gardening, the trend seems to be away from the use of 

 Thorns and in their place to take up the better forms of the flowering Crab-
