Chorizema 
Chorizema ilicifolium (Flame Pea). This 
is a shrub that always attracts attention 
because of its prickly, holly-like foliage 
and the very odd color combinations to 
be found in the sweet-pea shaped flow¬ 
ers, which are made up of a vermillion 
and orange red. This plant, which must 
have full sun, will grow to about a 3- 
foot height and sometimes spread to as 
much as 6 feet. Flowers appear in early 
summer on delicate, arching stems.

Chorizema varium. This is more com¬ 
pact and erect growing type than the 
ilicifolium, and with quite a different 
coloring. The flowers are made up of 
very brilliant copperish hues and pur¬ 
plish shades. This plant forms a very 
compact mass both as to foliage and 
flowers, and also likes full sun for best 
development. The flowers appear in late 
spring. 1-gal. 40c. 
Cocculus 
Cocculus laurifolius. It is very difficult 
to get a more beautiful foliage plant than 
the Cocculus, which grows into a 
splendid, graceful shrub with arching 
branches, well covered with long, taper¬ 
ing, bright green leaves. Its habit of 
growth makes it perfect for use in mass planting effects. Best results 
can be obtained in partial shade, although the plant will stand sun 
or full shade. 1-gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Rock Rose 
Cistus ladaniferous maculatus (Brown-Eyed Rock Rose). A very 
hardy, sun loving, small shrub that is free blooming throughout 
the summer. The flowers resemble the single rose, about the size 
of a silver dollar, having five pure white petals with a small blood 
red spot in the center of each one. The flowers only last a day. 
1-gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Cistus purpureus (Orchid Rock Rose). This sun loving variety 
grows to 3 ft., the flowers being light purple with a yellow center. 
The petals present a very crinkled appearance. Free blooming; 
doesn't need a great deal of water. 1-gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Cistus Rosea (Pink Rock Rose). This variety is very similar to 
purpureus as far as general shape of the shrub is concerned, but 
this one has a bright pink flower. It makes an excellent plant to 
use where a little spot of light color is wanted in sunny bank of 
shrubbery. 1-gal. 40c. 
Pam pass Grass 
Cortaderia argentea. A large coarse growing grass with arch¬ 
ing leaves, which attain a height of 8 feet and produces tall, 
feathery plumes of creamy white color, in late summer. This will 
make a beautiful plant in the neighborhood of pools, or to give 
a tropical effect in landscape work. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.50.

Cotoneaster 
Cotoneaster coolidgi (Silver Spray). A dwarf variety of Coton¬ 
easter which had its origin as a seedling of the old standby, 
pannosa variety. Its maximum height is about 2 feet, and grows 
into a fairly compact shrub, with fine, grayish foliage, and 
bright red berries in the fall. A good plant to use in foreground 
planting for foliage contrasts. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Cotoneaster franchetii. One of the most graceful of all the 
Cotoneaster group. The shrub attains a height of about 4 feet, with 
a spread of about 6 feet. The foliage is a light green which takes 
on beautiful fall colors in late autumn, while the fruit which 
appears in small clusters of two or three, resemble tiny, minia¬ 
ture apples, both in appearance and coloring. Gal. can 35c; 5- 
gal. $1.40. 
Cotoneaster glaucifolia (Dwarf Spray). One of the dwarf varie¬ 
ties of Cotoneaster and a good one to use in rockeries or similar 
planting, where a low spreading shrub with compact foliage is 
desired. This shrub is liberally covered with red berries in the 
fall and is especially hardy in all respects. Gal. can 40c. 
Cotoneaster horizontalis (Rock Spray). A shrub of many uses, 
where low spreading growth and brilliant green foliage are 
wanted. The berries too are very brilliant, and after the cold 
weather approaches it is difficult to distinguish the berries from 
the foliage, because they are both extremely bright red. Its rugged, 
angular growth, which reaches about 2 feet in height, is always 
striking in appearance regardless of the time of year. Gal. 40c; 
5-gal. $1.50. 
Cotoneaster pannosa (Silverleaf Cotoneaster). This has long 
been a popular variety, because of its rapid growth and hardy 
nature. It will attain a height of from 6 to 8 feet quite quickly, 
and because of its many upright, arching stems, well covered 
with grayish-green foliage and masses of dull red berries in the 
fall, is an excellent plant to use for screening purposes. Gal 35c; 
5-gal. $1.50. 
Cotoneaster pannosa nana (Dwarf Silverleaf Cotoneaster). This 
is a newer development of the preceding variety, and is very 
similar in general characteristics, except in height, which is about 
4 feet for this variety. It can be used under the same conditions 
as the pannosa, and, like all the Cotoneasters, it wants plenty of 
sun. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Cotoneaster parnayi (Parnay Cotoneaster). We consider this one 
of the best of all of the large growing Cotoneasters, because of 
its beautifully arching branches which are heavily covered with 
rich, dark green foliage, and very large clusters of brilliant red 
berries in the fall. This shrub will attain a height of from 6 to 8 
feet, and is an especially good shrub to use for heavy screen pur¬ 
poses, or as a specimen plant, which requires little in the way of 
pruning. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.40.
