preceding. 35c and 60c each.

pink, a new color in this group of valu- 
able shrubs. 50c each. 
*pnolifolia rosea—Why the originator called 
it “‘rosea’’ we do not know, for the color 
is not pink but a deeper purple pink than 
the type polifolia. A valuable addition to 
the evergreen section of dwarf shrubs, 
beginning to bloom in early spring. 35c 
and 60c each.

this genus, but requires a little shade 
during the hot summer days. Large, 
creamy, sweet-scented flowers on pros- 
trate branches which layer themselves if 
branches are buried under a few stones, 
or are interplanted with Erica carnea 
rosea or carnea vivelli, which serve to 
protect the bare branches from the sun 
and with their ruddy flowers provide a 
foil for the creamy Daphne flowers. Our 
stock of this very desirable shrub is 
limited. Pot grown plants, $1.00 and $1.50 
each.
