New Hardy Daphne “Somerset” 
(Plant Patent No. 31 
This deliciously fregrant and easy to grew Hybrid Daphne 
originated in England a few years ago. It has received the 
highest honors from The Royal Horticultural Society of Great 
Britain. When first shown in London, England, it was one 
of the highlights of the show. It has been on test at Wayside 
Gardens for five years, and has successfully wintered without 
protection all kinds of weather that occurred during those 
several years. 
During May and early June the plants are covered with 
delightfully scented blush-pink, star-shaped flowers in clus- 
ters 6 to 8 inches long. The fragrance is not unlike that 
of Daphne Cneorum. 
The foliage is rich dark green, giving the plants the ap- 
pearance of Boxwood. It remains green in northern Ohio 
until the beginning of March when the new leaves push the 
old ones off the branches. In California, Daphne Somerset 
is evergreen. 
Daphne Somerset may be used as a hedge. Spaced 18 
inches apart, it will grow into a tight fine mass. It may 
be clipped formally and can also be pruned informally, if 
the wavy Boxwood effect is desired. 
Left unclipped it grows about 3 feet high and 2% feet 
wide. Can be kept 24 inches high and 18 inches wide with- 
out difficulty. 
It is a lovely low shrub for in front of the shrub border 
and blends happily with hardy plants in the flower border. 
Visitors to our nursery, professional as well as amateur, 
all have admired it. Mr. F. F. Rockwell, garden expert and 
writer of many horticultural books and articles, remarked 
when he saw it in bloom this spring: ‘‘Here is one of those 
rare things that happens once every 25 years or so.’ It is 
a choice plant with a great future.
