Deutzia Gracilis 
Forsythia Intermedin Primulina 
DAPHNE - Garland Flower 
These shrubs are of spreading habit and do not grow over 8 to 
12 inches high; producing delicately perfumed rose-pink blossoms. 
The flowers completely cover the plant not only in spring but 
again in early autumn. As an edging plant in front of evergreens 
or shrubs, it is unequalled. It also forms a splendid low hedge 
along garden walks and around flower beds. 
Culture. It prefers a sunny position in well drained, sandy soil. 
In order to keep the evergreen foliage perfect, protect it with a 
little straw during the coldest part of the winter. The plants will 
withstand temperatures as low as 10 below zero. Water sparingly 
in summer. Daphnes will not grow well in cold, poorly drained soil.

DEUTZIA 
All Deutzias are showy flowering shrubs of very bushy habit. 
They have many stems rising directly from the root, arching up¬ 
ward and outward, thickly covered with foliage which almost com¬ 
pletely disappears in May under a superabundance of panicles of 
small, frilled, bell-like flowers. They are hardy throughout most 
of fhe country.

Seldom more than 2 or 3 feet high. This is one of the prettiest 
and most graceful of all the Deutzias. The plant makes a foun¬ 
tain-like bush attractive at all times of the year. In May it 
is covered with an astonishing profusion of delicate snowy white 
flowers. It does well in light shade and is well adapted for low 
edgings to walks or paths, excellent in clumps in the foreground 
in the border.

Gracilis. It is even more floriferous. The flowers are packed
