Although related to Snowberry and similar to it in 
many ways, Coral Berry is not so upright in growth, 
and the branches sweep gracefully to the ground, al¬ 
most trailing in habit. An excellent subject for planting 
on dry terraces and banks where it thrives in spite of 
dry and adverse conditions. It also makes a pretty 
hedge or border. Grows about 4 ft. tall and bears pink 
flowers in July. The beauty, however, is in the racemes 
of currant-like scarlet berries which follow the flowers 
during the fall and winter.

Daphne Flower 
An Evergreen Shrub of Great Beauty 
6760 Daphne Cneorum. This wonderfullittle Hardy Ever 
Green Shrub is too beautiful to express in w r ords. You just 
must see its charming beauty to fully appreciate it. 
The nature of Daphne is a dwarf, bushy, spreading plant, 
not over 10 to 12 inches tall, covered with dark green leaves, 
each branch tipped with a dense cluster of delicately per¬ 
fumed rose-pink blossoms. 
Daphne blooms in the spring and again in the fall, unusual 
because most shrubs flower only once each year, making it 
an ideal shrub for edging, in front of Evergreens or for the 
Rock Garden. Its color is exquisite and the flowers are pro¬ 
fuse. 
CULTURE. Daphne likes a sunny place, well drained, 
sandy soil and a little protection with straw during the cold¬ 
est monttis. Will withstand zero weather but the protection 
keeps the evergreen foliage in better condition. Water 
sparingly in summer. Each 50c; 3 for 81.25; 6 for 
82.25.
