BRILLIANT COTONEASTERS 
Probably no other family of shrubs has been used as ex- 
tensively here as the cotoneaster. They feel entirely com- 
fortable at all seasons of the year, not being affected by 
heat or cold, if planted in a sunny location. Their cheerful 
berries warm the days through the whole winter. 
Cotoneaster Parneyi. Our most spectacular cotoneaster. 
A graceful slightly pendulous shrub well furnished with 
large dark leaves from the ground up. It puts on two shows 
a year, in spring thousands of small heads of frosty white 
and in winter spectacular quantities of drooping scarlet hued 
berry clusters. Use the flaming berry sprays for Christmas 
decorations. They will last in the house for weeks. 6-8 ft. 
and about as broad as tall. Balled, heavy plants 4-4% it., 
$4.50; 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 40c. 
Cotoneaster procumbens. As the name implies, a low 
spreading shrub. Will drape over low walls or clamber be- 
tween and over stones in the rock garden. Very effective, 
too, in parkings and under low windows. Tiny, glossy leaves. 
White flowers in spring and vivid scarlet berries in winter. 
pene to 1 ft. tall. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers,

DWARF CUPHEA 
Cuphea hyssopifolia. A compact dwarf plant thickly cov- 
ered with very small leaves that we find to be absolutely 
indispensable. For low hedges, either trimmed or untrimmed, 
around beds or walks it is always attractive. Also to cover 
low brick work along open porches. Through most of the 
year it is thickly peppered with tiny lavender flowers. Hardy. 
Sun or shade. 12-in. Gal. containers, 40c. 
A NATURAL ESPALIER 
Distylium racemosum variegatum. As this shrub grows 
naturally fan-shaped, no more suitable plant can be found for 
training against north walls. The dark polished leaves faintily 
edged with silver maintain their rich green appearance at all 
times. 5-gal. containers, $3.50. 
FRAGRANT DAPHNE 
Combine the permeating perfume of orange blossoms with 
the exotic sweetness of the Sweet Olive and you have the 
full rich fragrance of the Daphne. A single cluster of the 
small single blossoms will scent a large room. A handsome, 
full foliaged shrub of unquestionable character. Give it part 
or all shade, good drainage, a handful or two of acid food 
each spring and it will give a good account of itself. 3-4 ft. 
Will not freeze. 
Daphne odora. Clear white. Substantial. glossy green 
foliage. 5-gal. containers, 2-3 ft., $4.50; 1%4-2 ft., $3.00; 12-18- 
in., $2.50; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Daphne odora marginata. White tinged with rosy pink. 
Varnished dark green leaves edged with creamy white. 
Balled, bushy 24-30 in., $6.00; 18-24 in., $4.50; 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.50; gal. containers, $1.00. 
BREATH OF HEAVEN 
Diosma pulchrum. Pink Breath of Heaven. Countless 
thousands of minute star-shaped rose-lavender flowers cover 
the heather-like tips of this dwarf compact shrub in early 
spring. Prune twice yearly, early and mid-summer and you 
will have a shrub that will keep its good looks for years. 
Hardy. Plenty of sun. 2%4-3 ft. Balled, very bushy 14-2 ft., 
$1.80; 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 40c. 
Diosma Reevesii. Much lower growing than the preced- 
ing variety and far superior in every way to alba, the va- 
riety so popular for many years. Soft, compact heath-like 
foliage that is spicily fragrant when crushed. Flowers snow 
white. Sun and good drainage. Hardy, except in severe 
frosts. Balled, very bushy 1%-2 ft., $1.80; 5-gal. containers, 
$1.50; gal. containers, 40c. 
DOMBEYA 
Dombeya Wallichii. In very early spring before most 
flowering shrubs are awake to their responsibilities the 
Dombeya puts on a show that should stir envy in the hy- 
drangeas (the flowers are quite similar). From the axil of 
each of the higher leaves, hang huge dense heads of many 
bright pink flowers. Enormous saucer-sized leaves. Quite 
tropical in appearance. Plant in sun in sheltered location. 
Tender to frost but grows up quickly if frozen. 10 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 60c. 
FOR WINTER BLUE 
Eranthemum nervosum. In mid-winter when little else is 
in bloom this delightful plant provides lustrous panicles of 
vivid blue above lush green foliage. Plant in a frost pro- 
tected shady spot. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 
50c. 
WINTER BLOOMING HEATHERS 
Erica Hieliana. One of the most unusual and highly col- 
ored of the heathers. Erect stems thickly covered with soft 
needle-like foliage are ringed for most of their length with 
salmon red tubular flowers. Blooms through fall, winter 
and spring. Short-lived. Ordinarily survives but a season 
or two but is most worthwhile anyway. Full sun. 2-2% ft. 
5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 50c. 
Erica melanthera rosea. This is a much improved variety 
bearing clouds of deep rosy purple flowers from October 
until April. Enjoys cold weather—the colder the nights the 
deeper the color. Keep it in the sun and on the acid side. 
Long lived. Hardy. 6-7 ft. Balled, bushy 2%-3 ft., $1.80; 
5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 40c. 
Erica Veitchii. In late winter and spring this variety is 
a 4 to 5 foot mound of clear glowing white. Not choosy as 
to soil. Plant in the sun and watch it perform. Hardy, 5-gal. 
containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 50c. 
HEATHER FOR SUMMER 
Erica mediterranea hybrida. Just a real good easy to grow 
plant that forms a thick 3-ft. clump that hugs the ground. 
Grows less than 1 ft. tall, and is studded in summer with 
short racemes of dainty deep purple flowers. A shrub we 
have always enjoyed thoroughly. Not particular as to soil. 
Hardy. Give it a hot location and not too much care and 
it will thrive. Balled, bushy 1%-2 ft., $1.50.
