Pyracantha coccinea Lalandi 
(Firethorn) 
7 HIS is a miscellaneous 
group of special garden 
plants, each supreme in its 
field. There is no substitute 
for the blue Hydrangeas in 
seashore plantings, or no 
better hedge or specimen, 
plant than the Japanese Yew, 
while the Firethorn is by far 
the handsomest of all berry 
plants, just as the Lilacs are 
the loveliest of all flowering 
shrubs.
