ViiEX Macrophylla 

 (The Rare Chaste Tree) 



Pyracantha (Crataegus) 

 Coccinea Lalandi 



(Firethorn or Evergreen Thorn) 



There is no other fruiting evergreen Shrub 

 that is so attractive throughout the year as 

 this fiery Thorn and which will succeed in 

 any fairly sunny position, developing into a 

 shapely plant 6 or more feet high; it may be 

 planted either in connection with other 

 Shrubs or as a single specimen or may be 

 trained with wonderful effect against a wall. 

 Its large trusses of white flowers are followed 

 in summer by an abundance of brilliant 

 orange-scarlet berries, which, remaining on 

 the plants throughout the winter produce a 

 gorgeous effect. 



Field-grown plants of Pyracantha are 

 very difficult to transplant; the stock we 

 oSer has therefore been grown in pots and 

 can be planted now with perfect success. 



Strong 6-inch pots, $1.00.
