Evergreen Shrubs and Vines 
DAPHNE (Garland Flower) 
Daphne Cneorum is a dwarf evergreen shrub. It has become very popular within the last few 
years, due to the beauty and pleasing fragrance of its blossoms. 
The soft pink flowers appear profusely during April and May. Later, in the fall, it will blossom 
again. The fall flowers are not affected by frost and frequently can be picked in early December. 
The blue-green foliage is handsome at all seasons of the year. 
It is a most adaptable hardy plant, ideal for the herbaceous border, edging the shrubbery border 
or in the rock garden. The plant grows to a height of one foot, with spreading branches which cover 
over a space of two to three feet. 
2-year-old, well branched plants, 65c each; 3 for $1.75; 12 for $6.00, postpaid. 
EVERGREEN BITTERSWEET 
(Euonymus Vegetus.) A beautiful thick leaved evergreen shrub or vine. Will grow in either 
shady or sunny location. If planted near a wall, they make a low vine, and if planted in the open, 
they grow into a low spreading evergreen shrub. They bear bright orange-red berries in the autumn 
like the wild Bittersweet, the berries remaining on the plant the greater part of the winter. The 
plants also hold their beautiful green leaves all winter. 2-year-old plants, 40c each; 3 for 90c; 
12 for $3.00, postpaid. 
English Ivy 
HARDY ENGLISH IVY 
A true evergreen climbing vine which retains its beautiful, broad, glossy, 
dark green leaves all winter. It is perfectly hardy in the open ground, and 
can be grown in the shade, near porches and foundations, where very few 
other plants will grow. It is a most desirable vine wherever a low or me¬ 
dium size vine is wanted; much used for cemetery work. It also makes an 
excellent house plant or tub plant for the porch. By pruning it will branch 
out and can easily be trained into fine globe, pyramid, and fan-shaped speci¬ 
mens. Choice pot plants, 25c each; 3 for 50c, postpaid. 
ROSE ROULETTI 
The Miniature Rock Garden Rose 
Just imagine a full grown rose bush small enough to place beneath a 
water glass. The tiny buds are perfectly formed, opening into miniature 
double rose-pink flowers about the size of a dime. May be used as a pot 
plant or grown outside in the rock garden, or for edging around the rose 
garden and flower bed. It is perfectly hardy. Blooms all summer out¬ 
doors and the year around in the house. If wanted for a house plant, 
specify when you want it sent, otherwise the order will be filled in the 
spring in time for outdoor planting. Strong plants, grown in pots, 30c 
each; 3 for 75c, postpaid.
