A Winter Garden 
February Daphne 
(Daphne mezereum rubrum). 
A small shrub suitable for the Rock Garden; 
in February or the early March the stout little 
branches are thickly set with deep red, fragrant 
flowers. Following the bloom the light yellow 
leaves make a pleasing contrast. Enjoys partial 
shade, and a well drained soil. 
Bushy 12 to 15 in. Plants, $0.90 each; 
or 3 for $2.25 Postpaid. 
Springscent 
(Fothergilla major) 
Like the Robin, February Daphne is the 
harbinger of Spring 
In order to create a greater interest in this 
worthwhile hardy shrub the Arnold Arboretum 
prepared a special bulletin (Dec. 29, 1933) and 
from which we give the description. 
“The cream-white flowers are borne in 
Spring, just as the leaves are unfolding. They 
are massed in tight little plumes at the ends of short, upright branches, each little plume being 
made up of many individual flowers, whose long, milk-white stamens are their most conspicuous 
feature. During the summer Fothergillas are surprisingly similar to their cousins, the Witch- 
hazels. As Autumn comes on, they again show their individuality by coloring most brilliantly 
—some pure yellow, others deeply overlaid with brilliant crimson. ” 
Springscent can be grown in any good garden soil, but applications of peat and sand are 
beneficial. 12 tQ 18 in Plants? si.75 each; 3 for $4.00 Postpaid. 
18 to 24 in. Clumps, $2.85 each; 3 for $7.75 F. O. B. Piqua 
With each order for 3 or more plants we will send you the above mentioned Bulletin of 
the Arnold Arboretum and which includes a finely engraved insert.
