Hardy Shrubs 



WHOLESALE LIST 



Cotoneaster 



Very ornamental shrubs with decorative fruits re- 

 maining usually throughout the winter. The dwarfer 

 varieties are nearly evergreen and whil« especially 

 adapted for rockery plantings are eoually effective 

 planted in clumps in front of the shruCbery border or 

 mixed with the dwarfer broad-leaved evergreens. 



Francheti. Tall, upright, densely branched shrub with 

 spreading branches. Fruit orange-red; semi-evergreen. 



Horizontalis. A low growing shrub with almost hori- 

 zontal branches. Small shiny green leaves and 

 orange-red berries produced in great quantity. One 

 of the most effective evergreen plants for rockery or 

 border planting. 



Fraecos. A new Chinese variety with glossy foliage 

 and large red berries by the end of June. 



Salicifolla floccosa. A large growing shrub of graceful 

 habit and willow-like foliage, bright red fruits ex- 

 tending well along the branches.

Elsholtzia

This plant has the 

 nature of the well-

 liigh producing large, 

 .showy spikes of bright 

 pink flowers in late 

 summer and early fall. 

 The entire bush, flowers 

 and foliage, is sweetly 

 scented. In addition to 

 being very conspicuous 

 in the landscape the 

 plant also is outstand-

 attention than ordinary 

 plant material. We

Most of these Heaths are compact, low-growing, and 

 extremely useful for rockeries. The small foliage is 

 densely arranged around the wiry stems, and both in

 picture. Give some protection the first winter to ac- 

 climate them. Semi-shady location.
