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 Y% 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.

DAPHNE GENKWA 

 Hardy Blue Daphne 



For sheer beauty, there are very few plants that can compare with 

 the charming Blue Daphne. 



In the latitude of New York it is in full bloom with the Lilacs in 

 April, when its slender graceful branches are covered from top to 

 bottom, before the foliage appears, with its lovely violet blue flowers. 



The plant develops into a finely proportioned mound about three 

 feet high and three feet across. The dainty narrow, silky foliage 

 dresses the plant in a most artistic manner after it is through flowering.

 situation. It is excellent for foreground planting in a shrub border, or 

 for background work in a rock garden.
