 35928 to 36932. Cotoneaster spp. 



35928. From Chile. " (No. 59.) A slirub with a dark-green rather glossy 

 foliage, of compact habit, and exceedingly thorny. It produces an 

 abundance of purplish blue berries one-fourth to three-eighths inch in 

 diameter, which add to the attractiveness of the shrub. It should make 

 an excellent hedge plant." 



35929. From Chile. "(No. 60.) Similar to No. 59 (S. P. I. No. 35928), 

 but less thorny." 



35930. From Llifen, Chile. "(No. 115.) Hedge plant with small glossy 

 leaves and sharp thorns. It produces an abundance of small berries, and 

 the plant should make a very attractive hedge. Flowers not seen."

 only European or North American varieties."

 mottled yellow; secured in the market at Concepcion."
