Cotoneaster divaricata 
The Cotoneasters 
These beautiful plants, introduced from China, are proving 
to be the most useful of foreign shrubs. Some have foliage that is 
nearly evergreen, changing to tints of red and bronze before 
falling in early winter. Their gracefulness of habit and beauty 
of flower and fruit make them most ideal for planting at house 
foundations, entrances, hedges, or for cover-planting. They 
vary in habit from large, bold bushes to dwarf, spreading type.
