CYTISUS SCOPARIUS - Golden Scandinavian Broom 
Scandinavia 
Plants from 5-inch pots, Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.75 
Scotch Broom has become established in this country as a naturalized 
plant from Nova Scotia to Virginia. The Scandinavian type is hardier 
than the Scotch and makes a most attractive and unique combination 
with other shrubs. Even in places where the extreme cold might freeze 
back the tops, it throws up its stems again in spring in greater quan- 
tities. Excellent for seashore planting, as well as in masses in fields or 
gardens where it will delight you with its golden pea-shaped flowers 
abundantly produced in June. About 3 to 4 feet high. 
DESMODIUM 
Shrublike plants producing long, willow-like canes which give the plants 
a lovely effect. Its thousands of purple blossoms are a magnificent sight 
late in the fall. 
Culture. Any good garden soil will do. Plant in full sun in the hardy 
border together with purple and bronze Chrysanthemums or at the base of 
shrubs. Remove all growth in spring, cutting the plant back to the ground. 
Penduliflorum Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A lovely shrublike plant for the hardy border or shrub border. Arched, 
slender branches are covered with hundreds of drooping racemes of 
liquid purple flowers which make a gorgeous display late in the autumn. 
DEUTZIA 
All Deutzias are showy flowering shrubs of very bushy habit. They 
have many stems rising directly from the root, arching upward and outward, 
thickly covered with foliage which almost completely disappears in May 
under a superabundance of panicles of small, frilled, bell-like flowers. They 
are hardy throughout most of the country. 
Gracilis Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
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 fountain-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. 
Lemoine Each $0.75, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
Lemoine’s Deutzia is a hybrid variety and not unlike Deutzia Gracilis. 
It is even more floriferous. The flowers are packed into short, chubby 
sprays. The color is creamy white and quite distinct. Considered by 
most the best of the Deutzias. 
ELAEAGNUS 
Multiflorus (Longipes) Each $0.75, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
From China. Attains a height of about 6 feet, of open spreading 
growth; small creamy white, fragrant flowers during April and May.

Dish 
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 not grow 
well in cold, poorly drained soil. 
*Cneorum 
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.

New Hardy Daphne, “Somerset” 
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.
