All Perennials on this page, 65 cts. for 3 of one kind, 
DAPHNE Cneorum. Rose Daphne or Garland Flower. 
The most charming evergreen shrub in cultivation. 
A lovely, low-growing plant at all times, but at its 
best during May and June, when it is completely 
covered with clustered bright pink blossoms as sweet 
and deliciously scented as the arbutus. It thrives in 
full sunshine and in a rich, well-drained, light soil. 
Failures with this choice plant are largely due to 
wet, heavy soil or exposed and wind-swept locations. 
It retains its foliage through winter. While it seldom 
exceeds 8 inches in height, well-established plants 
often make a spread of 2 feet or more. 2-yr. plants, 
50 cts. each, $5 per doz.; 3-yr. plants, extra large,
