CotOneaster (Rockspray, Quinceberry) 



Very ornamental Shrubs with decorative fruits remaining usually through- 

 out the winter. The dwarfer varieties are nearly evergreen and while espe- 

 cially adapted for rockery plantings are equally effective planted in clumps in 

 front of the shrubbery border or mixed with the dwarfer broad leaved ever- 

 greens. 



Francheti. Tall upright densely branched Shrub with spreading branches. 



Fruit orange-red; semi-evergreen. 

 Henryana. Half evergreen tall growing variety with bright red fruits. 

 Horizontalis. Low growing Shrub with almost horizontal 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. 

 Prostrata. A very neat dwarf variety with miniature leaves and bright 



red berries. 



Salicifolia Flocosa. Large growing Shrub of graceful habit and willow- 

 like foliage, bright red fruits extending well along the branches.

Penduliflorum. A Shrub that dies to the ground in winter, but comes up

 September, when few Shrubs are in bloom, attractive sprays of bright 

 rose-colored pea-shaped flowers. 60 cts. each. 



Elsholtzia (Mintshrub) 



Stauntoni. Its late flowering, September and October, makes this a 

 particularly valuable Shrub. It grows about four feet high, of bushy 

 branching habit, each branch terminated by a dense 4 to 8 inch long spike 

 of attractive deep lilac colored flowers. 60 cts. each. 



Deutzia Crenata Magnifica

 white flowers in early summer. 60 cts. each.

 autumn foliage which makes it very conspicuous in the fall.
