SHRUBS—Coxtinued 
COTONEASTERS 
Cotoneasters are of high value for landscape plantings; 
vary greatly in habit and attractiveness and rely upon 
their brilliantly colored fruit for decorative effect. They 
do not transplant as readily as some shrubs and must be 
handled carefully during the transplanting operation. 
However, in an open situation, they generally prove to be 
very hardy throughout northern United States. The inter- 
esting branching habits, both the low, sprawly types 
and those with arching branches, are decorative all year. 
Cotoneaster Franchetti (FRANCHET COTONEAST- 
ER). Upright, dense shrub with wide spreading branches. 
Small pink flowers in June with a tremendous crop of 
orange berries in September. Foliage gray-green. F

Our imaginations are stirred by the familiar sight of a full-grown Holly tree aglow with red berries because of 
its association with Christmas spirit and cheer. However, only one of this group looks anything like the Christ- 
mas Holly. They differ greatly in habit and use but all are among the most desirable of evergreen shrubs. 
[lex crenata (JAPANESE HOLLY). A rapid-growing, dense evergreen bush with deep green, boxwood-like 
foliage. A beautiful and permanent plant of real character. F
