ROSACEAE 
For the most part the cotoneasters are far too large and bold for the 
rock garden, but the following close-to-the-ground species are not only 
useful in clothing unconsidered slopes and harsh rock, but add beauty 
wherever they are placed. They like to struggle with the elements 
and are better for wind and rain and sun.

rock and ground; small oval blue-green leaves; shy bloomer in this 
country, but nevertheless one of the best. 50c.

ground 6-8 in. flowing outward; oval leaves somewhat undulate, $1.00.
