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.coloring 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. 
Apiculata (Cranberry Cotoneaster) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
A beautiful hardy dwarf Cotoneaster from Western China. This little 
known variety grows about four feet high with arching branches 
weighted down during autumn with masses of bright crimson sub-globose 
fruits. The foliage is shiny green and beautiful through the year. Per- 
fectly hardy. 
Divaricata Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
From Central and Western China. 5 to 6 feet high, of graceful spread- 
ing habit; small green polished leaves and red egg-shaped fruits; few 
shrubs can equal its glorious scarlet autumn tints. 
Floribunda Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Grows into a beautifully shaped round bush. Branches slightly arching 
and heavily covered with handsome blue-green foliage. It flowers as 
freely as the English Hawthorn and jin fall is covered with thousands 
of small, brilliant red berries. 30 to 36 inches high. 
Multiflora Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00

Double Flowering Cherry, Kanzan

BS 
Cotoneaster Divaricata in Flower 
lowexing Cherviia 
Very beautiful early spring-flowering small trees, seldom growing 
over 25 feet tall. From early to late May they are loaded with single or 
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 $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
In our opinion this is one of the most beautiful trees. It is a pink flow- 
ering 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. Akebono belongs 
in the same class as those, around the tidal basin in Washington, D. C. 
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 Cherry to bloom. 
Amanogawa Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
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. 
James H. Veitch (Fugenzo) Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Rather late flowering but considered one of the finest garden varieties. 
Nice, shapely small tree which in the spring is loaded with deep rose- 
pink blooms. 
Kanzan Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Also called Kwanzan and Sekiyama. All names mean Gateway to the 
Mountain. Probably the most popular and best known double. Flowers 
very large, up to 2 inches in diameter with about 30 large petals; deep 
rosy pink. 
Kuramayama Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
A beautiful double late flowering Cherry. Its flowers open flat and wide 
and are quite full. The flower petals are ruffled’ and friltled and of a 
beautiful shade of pink with delicate carmine edges. The center of the 
blossoms is flesh-pink. 
Mt. Fuji Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
A lovely variety highly valued by all who love flowering Cherries. Its 
double, snowy white flowers are very large and heavy, produced in great 
abundance. Being the only snow-white, rose-flowering Cherry in culti- 
vation in this country, it is very popular.. The Arnold Arboretum Bulle- 
tin often mentions it because of its beauty and hardiness. 
Naden : Each $4.00, Three $11.00. 
A great garden favorite. Makes a tremendous show when trees are 
literally smothered in apple-blossom-pink, semi-double flowers arranged 
in short-stem clusters. Nice, small lawn tree. 
Shirofugen Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
(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. 
WEEPING CHERRIES 
Single Pink Weeping Cherry Each $6.00, Three $16.00 
Weeping heads grafted on straight trunks about 6 feet tall. Flowers 
small, single, pale pink.
