CORNUS (Continued) 
Cornus alba spaethi 
SPAETH DOGWOOD 
Here is a striking variety with yellow margined leaves. In 
other respects it is similar to Cornus alba elegantissima. 
Cornus amomum 
SILKY DOGWOOD 
A purple stemmed variety with silky leaves and yellowish 
flowers followed by blue fruit which adds much to its beauty in 
fall. Height 5 to 7 feet. 
Cornus mas 
CORNELIAN-CHERRY 
A large shrub growing to a height of twenty feet. Clusters 
of yellow flowers literally cover it in spring before the leaves 
appear. Later the shrub bears bright red edible fruit resembling 
cherries. 
Cornus paniculata 
GRAY DOGWOOD 
One of the finest shrubs for planting in dense masses. This 
is the shrub which is sometimes found along fences where it will 
form an impenetrable thicket. Clusters of white flowers cover it 
in spring followed by pretty white berries in autumn. It will 
reach twelve feet in height. 
Cornus sanguinea 
BLOODTWIG DOGWOOD 
Its greenish-white flowers and black fruit, its blood-red bark 
and deep red leaves in fall distinguish it from other closely re¬ 
lated members of the Dogwood family. It will grow in a wet place 
as well as in average garden soil. It becomes six feet high and 
makes excellent border plants. 
Cornus stolonifera 
RED-OSIER DOGWOOD 
Dark red spreading branches make this dogwood striking in 
winter and particularly good near water. It grows six feet high, 
has creamy white flowers and white or bluish showy fruit. 
Cornus stolonifera flaviramea 
GOLDENTWIG DOGWOOD 
A form of Cornus stolonifera or Red-osier Dogwood with 
golden branches. When it is planted with red-branched species, 
the color contrast is pleasing and striking. 
CORYLUS — HAZEL 
Corylus americana 
AMERICAN HAZELNUT 
A most desirable native shrub having upright branches grow¬ 
ing to a height of eight feet with long pendulous catkins in early 
spring; edible fruits (filberts) and golden foliage in fall. It thrives 
in any good well drained soil. 
Corylus avellana 
FILBERT OR EUROPEAN HAZELNUT 
A bushy member in the same family as American Hazelnut 
growing to fifteen feet. It is often planted for its ornamental value. 
COTONEASTER — ROCKSPRAY 
Their beautiful red and black fruits, the showy but 
small flowers and partly evergreen leaves account for 
the growing popularity of the Cotoneasters. Because 
the growing habits of the many varieties range from 
low spreading to broad upright, one can be found to 
fill every planting need. Some of the upright forms 
make beautiful hedges. See also BROADLEAVED 
EVERGREENS. 
Cotoneaster acutifolia 
PEKING COTONEASTER 
A most useful ornamental shrub much used for hedges. Its 
small reddish flowers are followed by black fruit and brilliant 
fall leaf coloring. It reaches a height of ten feet. 
Cotoneaster divaricata 
SPREADING COTONEASTER 
A graceful, medium sized shrub with drooping branches 
which in early summer are covered with small pink flowers and 
later loaded with bright red berries. A fine specimen plant grow¬ 
ing to a height of six feet. 
Cotoneaster foveolata 
This is a remarkable massive shrub of dark shiny green 
appearance little known until late years but rapidly claiming an 
important place in landscape design as a screen or background 
shrub. It is a vigorous grower with black fruit and brilliant 
orange and scarlet leaves in fall. It grows well in any sunny 
position with good drainage. 
Cotoneaster francheti 
FRANCHET COTONEASTER 
The Franchet variety has gracefully arching branches. The 
fruit is of a deeper orange shade and the clusters of flowers are 
larger than those of the preceding varieties. 
Cotoneaster henryana 
Contrasting greens caused by the grayish underleaf on the 
arching branches of this variety and many white flowered clusters 
of bloom, often 2 inches across, followed by red fruit, make this 
a most desirable shrub. It grows to 8 ft. and holds its leaves long 
into winter.

Spreading Cotoneaster Flowering Quince 
(COTONEASTER) (CYDONIA) 
CYDONIA — FLOWERING QUINCE 
Cydonia japonica 
FLOWERING QUINCE 
A valuable well known shrub remembered for its large hand¬ 
some orange-scarlet flowers borne with the first leaves of spring. 
The large, aromatic fruit in fall is not edible raw but is some¬ 
times used for jelly or put in drawers to perfume bedding or 
clothing. The shrub is used for border, garden or informal hedge. 
Cydonia maulei 
LESSER FLOWERING QUINCE 
A distinctive and attractive species of Flowering Quince 
smaller than Cydonia japonica but having large scarlet-orange 
flowers about an inch and a half across borne in profusion within 
the confines of the branches. It is a hardy plant thriving in any 
good garden soil and growing to four feet.
