COTONEASTER. These Star Selected strains of Cotoneaster are 

 of particular value in commercial, industrial and highway landscap- 

 ing. They thrive in a variety of conditions. They are of real value 

 for their decorative fruits in fall and winter. Some have colorful 

 bloom with unusual fragrance. Some varieties drop their leaves in 

 winter; others do not, and are attractive broadleaf evergreens. 



Our own garden centers find Cotoneaster increasingly popular with 

 home gardeners. Mass displays help it sell itself. We propagate our 

 Star Selected strains of Cotoneaster from cuttings carefully selected 

 for the chief characteristic of each variety. None are grown from 

 seed. 



Cotoneaster will do well under a wide range of conditions. Of course, 

 specimens will be best grown in good loamy soil, well drained, with a 

 pH of 6.5. However, they will thrive in almost any soil from heavy 

 clay to sand, including poor and dry locations. Ideal for a wide range 

 of uses: lawn specimen shrubs; border and hedge plantings, both for- 

 mal and informal; ground covers for banks and on the level. AH love 

 the sun and many thrive in open shade.

 bush 1 to 1} 9 feet high. Colorful fall foliage and
