COTONEASTER 
Known for Their Beautiful Red and Black Fruits 
This large Asiatic family has many members of high value for 
landscape planting. They vary tremendously in habit, yet all are 
attractive, and especially decorative when covered with their brilliant 
or glossy fruits. The larger types make excellent specimen shrubs 
while the low, prostrate forms are fine for use in the rock garden 
or against walls. 
Cotoneaster acutifolia villosula. 10 ft. A spreading shrub 12 feet high 
with especially attractive foliage, hairy on the under side. The 
decorative fruits are black.

C. horizontalis. RocA Cotoneaster. (D.) This prostrate shrub, with 
its almost horizontal branches and small glossy green leaves, is 
being used more each year. The flowers are pinkish white and the 
fruit bright red. While it is one of the very best shrubs for use 
in a rock garden, it is equally attractive in other spots and for use 
as a ground cover. No shrub in the garden produces more attrac¬ 
tive bright red berries in the autumn than the Rock Cotoneaster.

they like occasional applications of lime.
