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.

ae 
Akebono (Daybreak) Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
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 
Sa blooming tree. Very early; the first true Japanese Cherry 
to bloom. 
Amanogawa Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
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. 
Kanzan Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
Also called Kwanzan and Sekiyama. All names mean Gateway to the 
Mountain. Probably the most common and best known double. Flowers 
very se up to 2 inches in diameter with about 30 large petals; deep 
rosy pink. 
Shirofugen Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
(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 $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
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 large 
clusters. Growth very spreading, usually wider than high. Seems to stand 
heat, as the !argest specimen we know of is in Sacramento. 
WEEPING CHERRIES 
Single Pink Weeping Cherry Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
4-year heads, BGB. Weeping heads grafted on straight trunks about 
6 feet tall. Flowers small, single, pale pink.
