Coral-Fruited 
COTONEASTER

racemiflora Veitchi) 
Perhaps the choicest of 
all the hardy, upright, 
deciduous, shrub-like Co- 
toneasters, attaining a 
height of 4 feet, with small 
round glabrous leaves 
which clothe the entire 
plant. 
In summer and early 
fall, tts showy coral fruit 
creates a lovely contrast 
with its glossy foliage. 
The picturesque habit of 
this variety, with its 
graceful arching branches, 
offers many uses in garden 
planning. Should not be 
confused with its pros- 
trate-growing relative the 
Rock Spray, described 
on page 52. 
Recommended for hedge 
planting. shrub borders, 
or planted in a triangle of 
three to be allowed to 
grow into one large speci- 
men or group. $1.75 each; 
3 for $5.00. 

POLYGONUM, CRIMSON BEAUTY 
(Polygonum amplexicaule rubra) 
Mountain Fleece-flower 
This is truly a different and unusual herbaceous shrub, displaying 
a shower of striking red fleecy flowers during September. 
The flower racemes are pendulous and break from each leaf axil, 
creating a profusion of bloom amidst fine verdant foliage. Being 
deciduous, the branches and stalks freeze back to the ground each 
winter but more and stronger new cane-like stalks come up again 
in spring. Adaptable to any well-drained soil and lends itself well 
to trimming or training; when fully established will grow 6 to 8 feet. 
Excellent for quick summer screening. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50.

are a worthwhile addition to any shrub border, for 
they are woody shrubs producing attractive flowers 
in summer and bearing very fine foliage. While

flower from the new wood. Growing in nearly any 
well-drained soil, they prefer a light loam and full 
sun and attain a height of 2 to 3 feet.
