These occupy an important place in the development of the Home Grounds or in any landscape plantings. The present vogue of the Outdoor 

 Living Room permits the use of Flowering Shrubs in greater variety than ever before. 



Our plants, except where specially noted, are 2 to 3 years transplanted, and range from 1 Yi to 3 feet in height, according to variety; some being 

 stronger growing, are consequently taller at the same age. In the description of each variety we give the natural heights at maturity, but they 

 can be kept any size desired by pruning. Those marked * may be planted in a shady place. Plant as early in Spring as possible.

NEW HARDY DAPHNE 



SOMERSET (Plant Patent 315) 



This deliriously fragrant and easy-to-grow Hybrid Daphne originated in England 

 a few years ago. It has received the highest honors from The Royal Horticultural 

 Society. It has been on test in this country for a number of years, and has success- 

 fully wintered without protection, through all kinds of weather. During Mav and 

 early June the plants are covered with delightfully scented blush-pink, star-shaped 

 flowers. The fragrance is similar to that of Daphne Cneorum. 



The foliage is rich, dark green, giving the plants the effect of Boxwood, and it 

 remains green until the beginning of March, when the new leaves push the old ones 

 off the branches. Daphne So i erset may be used as a hedge. Spaced 18 inches 

 apart, it will grow into a tight fine mass. It may be clipped formally, and can 

 also be pruned informally, if the wavy Boxwood effect is desired. Left undipped, 

 it grows about 3 feet high and 2'/ 2 feet wide. Can be kept 24 inches high and 18 

 inches wide without difficulty. 



It is a lovely low shrub for the foreground of the shrub border, and blends 

 happily with hardy plants ill the flower border. Mr. F. F. Rockwell, writer of 

 many horticultural books, remarked when lie first saw it in bloom,"Here is one of 

 those rare things that happens once every 25 years or so." It is a choice plant 

 with a great future. 



Price, strong 2-year plants, 15 to 18 inches high, $2.25 each; $22.50 doz.
