DAPHNE CNEORUM 
Daphne is going places. You used to know it as the oldtime 
favorite in rock gardens. Now it is a popular pot plant. Our plants

ficent solid pink globe of most fragrant blossoms. The individual 
flower resembles Bouvardia. Can be had in flower from St. Valen¬ 
tine’s Day to the Spring holiday season and bloom again in early 
Fall. The Fall flowering quality makes it extremely desirable for 
the*garden after flowering in the home.
