HARDY FLOWERING EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
Cotoneaster horizontalis 
Cotoneasters 
The Cotoneasters belong to the rose family, and can scarcely 
be called true evergreens, because most of them shed their 
leaves before spring. They are classed among the handsomest 
shrubs for northern gardens, offering a great diversity in habit, 
type of foliage, and fruit. The flowers are mostly rather in¬ 
conspicuous, but the form of the plants, their graceful sprays 
of foliage, and beautiful arrangement of leaves make them 
most attractive. In autumn their variously colored fruits are 
showy and last a long time. They vary in habit from large, 
bold bushes to dwarf, spreading type adapted to the rock- 
garden. 
SUf'On account of the difficulty in transplanting field-grown 
Cotoneasters, we strongly advise the use of pot-grown plants. 
We offer the following in pot-grown plants: 
For lack of space we list only a few varieties. A complete 
list of 25 varieties showing sizes and prices can be had on
