creamy, sweet-scented flowers on pros¬ 
trate branches which layer themselves if 
branches are buried under a few stones, 
or are interplanted with Erica carnea 
rosea or carnea vivelli, which serve to 
protect the bare branches from the sun 
and with their ruddy flowers provide a 
foil for the creamy Daphne flowers. Our 
stock of this very desirable shrub is 
limited. $2.00 and $3.00 each.
