THE GARLAND FLOWER 
Daphnes are lovely, fragrant plants and the two varieties offered give 
bloom from very early spring to May and, occasionally, through the summer 
Both are of delicious fragrance and dainty, compelling beauty. They are 
hardy with little protection except in the coldest sections of the country. 
Culture. They prefer 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 
well in cold, poorly drained soil. 3 eae ASLO

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.
