Cotoneasters 
Cotoneasters are highly ornamental shrubs on account of their handsome foliage and decorative fruits, 
which usually remains during the whole winter. As in the case of the berberis, a great many new species 
and varieties have been introduced from China and the Himalayas. The prostrate-growing forms are among 
the most desirable of all plants for rockeries. Some of the upright forms also can be used for the same pur¬ 
pose where taller plants are needed. They like a sunny situation where it is not too wet. I have gathered 
together a large collection of these most interesting plants and am now able to offer them this season.

lowed by bright red fruits; distinct. $1.25 each.

General Collection of Flowering and 
Ornamental Shrubs 
In giving the present general collection of shrubs, I am breaking away from former methods of denot¬ 
ing various sizes and prices. In most cases you will receive shrubs of good size, or even the larger sizes, in 
accordance with the particular variety asked for. I do not offer the smaller sizes. 
However, owing to the cost and difficulty of obtaining some of the newer introductions, and the great 
demand for these, I have had to specify smaller sizes (yet sturdy), and an advanced price. Yet every real 
gardener will want some of these in his garden, as being rare and distinct. Some of them are being listed 
for the first time, after long and careful trial in my fields. 
Prices, unless otherwise noted, 60 cts. each, $5 for 10. Prices per 100 on application. 
Five or more shrubs of any one variety and size are supplied at the 10 rate; 25 or more at the 100 rate
