Daphne, Somerset 
(Plant Patent No. 315) >>> 
This deliciously fragrant and easy to grow Hybrid Daphne orig- 
inated 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 high- 
lights 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 de- 
lightfully scented blush-pink, star-shaped flowers in clusters 6 to 
8 inches long. The fragrance is not unlike that of Daphne 
Cneorum. 
The foliage is rich dark green, giving the plants the appear- 
ance 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 21/4 feet wide. 
Can be kept 24 inches high and 18 inches wide without diffi- 
culty. 
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 hap- 
pens once every 25 years or so.” It is a choice plant with a 
great future.

Viburnum Burkwoodk 
(New English Hybrid) 
Improved Carlesi. Waxy blush-white and delicately fra- 
grant, the flowers of this new fragrant Viburnum are produced 
in early spring when the leaves are unfolding. They form 
round, domed clusters, and the gardenia-like fragrance is so 
sweet as to pervade a large area. The plant grows about 6 
feet high and 4 to 5 feet in diameter. It likes a well drained, 
sunny place, with plenty of moisture. This is a new jewel for 
the garden—a real aristocrat. For the small garden, where 
there is room only for the choicest shrubs, the one Viburnum 
above all others that should be grown, is Viburnum Burkwoodi. 
Foliage brilliant in autumn, shiny dark green all summer.
