Cotoneaster 
THE QUEEN OF SHRUBS 
All the species of Cotoneaster will thrive either in shade or full sun, 
and are very suitable for growing under trees, “clothing” north or other 
walls, and for covering wet, dry, or shady banks, etc. 
The outstanding characteristics of this genus are the beautiful, con- 
spicuous clusters of berries, ranging in color from brilliant orange- 
scarlet, through varying shades of red to black, all preceded by a 
profusion of white or pinky white flowers wreathing the branchlets, 
and also in many species the rich autumnal colorings of their foliage. 
For hedges they are becoming more and more popular, Multiflora 
being especially well adapted for that purpose. The under-mentioned 
list contains most of the best recent introductions from China, to which 
country they are native.

double flowers of great charm and beauty. There are upright growing, 
spreading, and weeping forms of this lovely tree. Should be grown in 
every garden where winters permit their planting. We offer only the 
hardiest varieties which are successfully grown at Highland Park, 
Rochester, N. Y. 
Akebono (Daybreak) Each $2.75, Three $7.50, Doz. $27.00 
Erect growing Single Cherry. In our opinion this is the most beautiful 
tree in the world or at least the most beautiful we have ever seen. 
It is a pink flowering type of the famous Yoshino Cherry so widely 
planted in Tokyo. There are said to be over 10,000 trees of it in 
that city. It belongs in the same class as those around the tidal basin 
in Washington, D. C., but there is considerable variation in those 
trees. When in bloom this variety is a cloud of pink with not a leaf 
showing. We get the same old thrill from it every spring as it does 
not seem possible to remember from one year to another how superbly 
beautiful it is. Luckily it is one of the best growers and soon makes 
a good sized and freely blooming tree. Very early; the first true 
Japanese Cherry to bloom. 
Amanogawa Each $2.75, Three $7.50, Doz. $27.00 
Erect growing, semi-double Cherry. Name means “Milky Way.” Unlike 
all others in its extremely narrow, erect growth, which takes little room. 
Flowers semi-double, pink, in erect clusters. 
Cotoneaster Horizontalis as Edging for Pool 
Gyoiko Each $2.75, Three $7.50, Doz. $27.00 
The flowers are yellow with green stripes which later turn cerise. Quite 
unusual. 
Kanzan Each $2.75, Three $7.50, Doz. $27.00 
Also called Kwanzan and Sekiyama. All names mean Gateway to the 
Mountain. Probably the most common and best known double. Flowers 
very large, up to 2 inches in diameter with about 30 large petals; deep 
rosy pink. 
Kuramayama Each $2.75, Three $7.50, Doz. $27.00 
Name means Mt. Kurama. Flowers large, up to 2 inches in diameter, 
with flesh center strongly stained cerise toward the frilled margins. Color 
effect very fine. Grows very slowly. 
Shirofugen Each $2.75, Three $7.50, Doz. $27.00 
(Victory.) Color effect very unusual. When first open the large flow- 
ers are soft pink, soon becoming white. Then as they get older they 
turn deep cerise so that the tree always has plenty of both pink and 
white flowers at one time. It is an extremely profuse bloomer and 
good grower. New leaves deepest bronzy purple. 
Shogetsu Each $2.75, Three $7.50, Doz. $27.00 
Easily the most profuse bloomer in the doubles. When in full flower the 
tree is practically a solid mass of bloom. Flowers pale flesh in ag 
clusters. Growth very spreading, usually wider than high. Seems to stan 
heat, as the largest specimen we know of is in Sacramento. 
WEEPING CHERRIES 
Single Pink Weeping Cherry Each $4.75, Three $14.00, Doz. $44.00 
4-year heads, B&B. Weeping heads grafted on straight trunks about 
6 feet tall. Flowers small, single, pale pink.
