FOR HARDY WINTER BEAUTY 
Cotoneaster rules the shrub border all winter through, 
with its laden wealth of brilliant berry beauty. Beyond that the 
Cotoneasters are graceful shrubs, with excellent foliage; 
pleasing habit and form. Many have pretty spring flowers. 
Species vary, from those few with strictly upright place¬ 
ment, through many with layered horizontal branches that 
later dip with weight of fruiting, to others that pile into 
irregular moundings of foliage and berry color, or spread 
almost to the ground-fur of a creeping Juniper. Dominant 
always in autumn and winter is the massed succulent orna¬ 
mentation of the fruits, polished black reflections, soft tones 
of pink, glowing orange, or burning scarlet. We offer here 
Cotoneasters in mixture, mostly of full hardiness, a blend 
of very many desirable species, “y” culture. Pkt. 10c;
