Cotoneasters and Pyracanthas 
These lovely plants try to be a little difficult. Both 
are inclined to send out long rat-tails for roots. If 
you plant them in the field, even though you do root- 
prune them religiously, and do dig them with an 
extra large ball of earth, they oftentimes don’t grow. 
The solution, of course, is to plant them in clay pots, 
and plunge the pots in beds or in the field. Set the 
pots no deeper than an inch from the pot top, or

the pots when a little soil is raked up in cultivation. 
Be sure to cover over well the hole in the pot; and 
start with pots big enough. 8” standards are not 
too large. 
Then, when you sell the plant, you can give the 
customer the roots as well as the top of the plant; 
and it will grow. 
Another advantage in potting them as above, is that
