DAPHNE, Somerset (Page 159) 
During May and early June the plants are covered with 
delightfully scented blush-pink, star-shaped flowers. 
The fragrance is not unlike that of Daphne Cneorum. 
The foliage is rich dark green, giving the plants the 
effect of Boxwood and it remains green until the be- 
ginning of March when the new leaves push the old 
ones off the branches. 
LACE FLOWER HYDRANGEA (Acuminata) 
(Page 162) 
This new variety is outstanding for its delicately beau- 
tiful and very decorative flat umbels of blooms. The 
small inner flowers are light blue tinted and surrounded 
by large white and rose sterile flowers. The effect 
created is delicate and lacy. The foliage is bronzy 
green, happily contributing to the general effect. 
DOMOTOI (Hardy semi-double Hydrangea) 
(Page 162) 
This beautiful hardy variety produces large globe- 
shaped clusters of flowers 12 to 15 inches in diameter, 
composed of immense semi-double flowers. Very fre- 
quently the main stem produces 3 or 4 additional small- 
er bloom clusters below the main flower head creating 
a veritable bouquet. The flower heads are well above 
the foliage and last 8 to 10 weeks or more. The color 
is pure pink on alkaline soil but will change to a mag- 
nificent blue if the plant is grown in acid soil. 
HYPERICUM PATULUM, Sungold (Page 165) 
A beautiful, dwarf, shapely shrub which grows into an 
almost completely oval globe of 22 to 3 feet in diam- 
eter and about 18 to 24 inches in height, densely 
covered with foliage that is handsome throughout the 
summer. It bears its cymes of golden flowers at the 
end of every shoot of the summer’s new growth. The 
flowers are bigger and produced in immense quantities 
transforming this lovely plant into a small mound of 
gold when in full bloom. Of particular interest and 
value is its exceptional hardiness.

MOCK ORANGE (Philadelphus) Atlas (Page 168) 
This giant-flowered Mock Orange, with its pure white 
blooms as large as those of Dogwoods, will be sen- 
sational in your garden and we predict will replace 
many of the more common and indifferent shrubs. This 
magnificent hybrid came to us a few years ago from 
France. Hardy, of easy culture, grows most anywhere, 
good upright habit, and covered with immense blooms 
which slightly lack being 3 inches in diameter that are 
magnificent for cutting. Decidedly a ‘’must”’ for every 
shrubbery border. 
PHILADELPHUS, Belle Etoile (Page 168) 
The milky-white flowers are most unusual in that they 
have a conspicuous, light purple blotch in the center. 
For fragrance, very little more can be asked than the 
perfume wafted through the garden by this lovely bush. 
It’s a vigorous, but neatly growing shrub, develops with 
age into a good looking plant of about 5 feet in height. 
Received the Award of Merit from the Royal Horticul- 
tural Society of Great Britain. 
PHILADELPHUS, Innocence (Page 168) 
The long arching branches carry a wealth of large 
single alabaster-white flowers. So heavily loaded with 
flowers are the slender branches as to assume the ap- 
pearance of sheaves of bloom. They are of such purity 
of whiteness as to make all other Mock Oranges seem 
gray by comparison. The fragrance is delightful, more 
delicate, yet more penetrating, than that of Jasmine. 
PHILADELPHUS, Enchantment (Page 168) 
New double Mock Orange, a gorgeous shrub. Has 
erect branches furnished with long thick panicles of 
double white flowers. The blossoms are set very closely, 
creating a most striking effect. Sweetly fragrant. 
POTENTILLA fruticosa, Gold Drop (Page 171) 
A charming small shrub of such compact growth it is 
closely and densely covered with small fern-like leaves 
and studded with intensely brilliant golden yellow but- 
tercup-like flowers from early June until October. This 
delightful shrub may be used in front of the shrub bord- 
er or in the foreground of any perennial planting. 
POTENTILLA fruticosa, Snowflake (Page 171) 
A graceful, small, 3-foot-high shrub, upright in growth, 
yet compact. Foliage is dense and fern-like in effect. 
From early June until October the plants are studded 
with silvery white, chalice-like blooms. 
SPIREA, Mongolica (Snowbank Spirea) (Page 172) 
This is the earliest flowering of the Spireas, in full 
bloom along with the Forsythias. It is a gracefully 
slender but erect shrub. The branches are thin and 
arching, plentifully besprinkled with pure white flowers 
like snow lingering from winter. It is a dainty and 
very beautiful shrub with feathery fresh green foliage 
that in autumn turns orange and scarlet. 
NEW RUBY WEIGELA, Bristol Ruby (Page 177) 
Makes a shapely plant with attractive rich green foli- 
age. Color is a soft ruby-red shading to garnet-crimson, 
extremely pleasing in effect and without harsh tone. 
Attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet at maturity, it makes 
a perfectly formed, well rounded specimen. 
OTHER NEW SHRUBS 
Do not overlook our 3 new Flowering Peaches, Cardinal, 
Iceberg, and Pink Charming. They are magnificent. 
Their big double flowers transform the small trees in 
early spring into large, brilliantly sparkling bouquets, 
while in early autumn you may pick the fruit which, 
while not large, is delightfully tasty and ripens several 
weeks after the regular peach season. There are the new 
French Hybrid Lilacs. Also four of the best hardy, beau- 
tifully fruited Cotoneasters. The red-fruited Tree Euony- 
mus, Viburnum Burkwoodi in bloom at Tulip time with 
sweet scented, snowball-like flowers. Robinia Monument, 
is a new upright pink-flowered Rose-Acacia. Most of 
the trees and shrubs offered are new, or little known, 
but each one a garden treasure.
