A late flowering and handsome 

 Thorn when its orange-yellow 

 are in perfection, but the 

 birds soon consume them. 



More curious than beautiful ; 

 it is only 2 feet to 3 feet high 

 and has greenish haws. 



Quite a shrub, 4 feet to 6 feet 

 high, very rare, although 

 introduced as long ago as 

 1765. The flowers are in 

 drooping racemes on pre- 

 vious season's growth. 



A pretty little Heath-like shrub 

 growing about 18 inches high, 

 and producing erect spikes 

 of comparatively large bell- 

 shaped blossoms. It is the 

 most continuous blooming of 

 its class. There is a beautiful 

 pure white variety— alba. 



A spreading deciduous shrub, 

 with white, sweet - scented 

 flowers. It grows about a 

 couple of feet high, and is 

 essentially a shrub for the 

 rockwork, as it is particularly 

 happy when the roots are 

 wedged between stones. 



Like the last, this forms a 

 spreading bush, and is equ- 

 ally at home under similar 

 positions. It is, however, 

 of an evergreen character ; 

 the ivory white are very 

 sweet-scented blossoms. It 

 is worthy of a place among 

 the most select Daphnes. 



A delightful little evergreen, 

 with highly fragrant blos- 

 soms. A good proportion 

 of vegetable soil is necessary 

 to its welldoing. 



In its flowers this Daphne close- 

 ly resembles the Lilac, so 

 that it is frequently mistaken 

 for that well-known shrub. 

 It needs the protection of a 

 wall in most parts of Eng- 

 land. 



The flowers of this are not par- 

 ticularly showy, but as an 

 evergreen bush some 3 or 4 

 feet high it is valuable from 

 the fact that it will thrive 

 under the drip of trees, and 

 is one of the few evergreens 

 absolutely rabbit proof.
