COTONEASTER 
In recent years, these useful and beautiful shrubs are finding an increased popularity. 
Originally introduced from China, the habits of the many varieties range from low, 
spreading types to tall, bold, upright shrubs. The flowers are usually inconspicuous! 
The grace and beauty of the branches, and the arrangement of leaves make them at¬ 
tractive. In Autumn, the red and black colored fruits are showy and cling to the shrubs 
for a long time. 
They are ideal subjects for the rock garden, for covering terraces, or for the shrub 
border. They will thrive in any well-drained garden soil. Avoid planting in a shady 
or moist location. To insure transplanting success, we advise using only pot-grown 
plants.
