DAPHNE *blagayana — One of the hardiest of 
this genus, but requires a little shade 
during the hot summer days. Large, 
creamy, sweet-scented flowers on pros¬ 
trate branches which layer themselves if 
branches are buried under a few stones, 
or are interplanted with Erica carnea 
Daphne cneorum 
rosea or carnea vivelli, which serve to 
protect the bare branches from the sun 
and with their ruddy flowers provide a 
foil for the creamy Daphne flowers. Our 
stock of this very desirable shrub is 
limited. $3.00 each. 
*cneorum —(Rock or Rose Daphne) Ever¬ 
green foliage and crowded heads of fra¬ 
grant bright pink flowers during May

flowering shrubs. Glossy evergreen foli¬ 
age, sometimes variegated with a yellow 
edge. Clusters of light pink, waxy flow¬

*petraea grandiflora —Probably the most 
rare and dwarf of all Daphne. Make very 
tight mounds of dark green foliage, cov¬ 
ered from June to August with heads of 
pink flowers which are very large for 
the size of the plant. Very slow growing, 
it should be planted in narrow crevice, 
and fed plenty of lime chips. Our plants
