COTONEASTERS 
General landscape planting places certain requirements on shrubs 
used to make the plant compositions or pictures in the garden. Among 
these are neatness, uniformity of growth, pleasing texture and form 
and general all around beauty. Whatever purpose you have in mind, 
you can safely select a Cotoneaster for that purpose. The dainty 
flowers in spring and glorious red berries later are the same for all, 
but the habit, height of growth and color of foliage and size of leaves 
vary with the varieties: We list dwarf and large growing sorts, all re- 
quire sun and little care once they are established. 
Horizontalis. Rock Cotoncast-r. Low spreading shrub with angular 
branches almost hugging the ground. The tiny round leaves turn deep 
red in the fall accentuating the brightness of red berries. Very beauti- 
ful in spring when myriads of tiny “‘apple-blossom’”’ like flowers cover 
the entire plant. Excellent for bank planting, rock gardens or as a 
low shrub cover for many dry sunny problem places. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. 
$2.85.
