Daphne Flower 
An Evergreen Shrub of Great Beauty 
Daphne Cneorum. This wonderful little Hardy Ever 
Green Shrub is too beautiful to express in words. 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 months. Will withstand zero weather but the protection 
keeps the evergreen foliage in better condition. Water 
sparingly in summer. Each SOc; 3 for #1.25; 6 for 
$2.25. 
Heather, Erica 
One outstanding memory in the minds of all of us who 
have lived in or traveled through Scotland, is the memory of

almost mist-like appearance, one we never forget.

growth, having pretty small pink flowers in June or 
July, followed by large clusters of waxy-like snow white 
berries throughout the late summer, autumn and early 
winter. A very effective shrub for masses in the shrub 
border, or for foundation planting. Does well under

background to other lower growing varieties blooming 
freely in May and June.

rant and produced in profusion. Decidedly one of the 
best varieties of Mock Orange. 
Strong two year. Each 30c; 3 for 75c. 
Coral Berry 
Indian 
Currant 
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. 
Two year heavy, 18 to 24 in. Each 30c; 3 for 
75c. 
African Tamarix

Sprays of delicate pink flowers appear in early spring, 
April and May, before the leaves appear. Blooms at 
intervals throughout the summer. The foliage is light 
green, fine and feathery. Very attractive. Excellent in 
masses with tall shrubs. 
One year strong plants, 12 to 18 inch. Each 
25c; 3 for 65c.

Salix Capre. A cultivated variety 
of Pussy Willow that is becoming 
quite popular. Cut the branches 
during the winter months, place in 
a vase in a warm room and watch 
them develop. The buds will begin 
to unfold and disclose the pretty 
catkins and in a few days more they 
will be loaded with a golden pollen. 
Very easily grown. They delight in 
a moist soil.
