26 THE DANIELS NURSERY 
FRENCH 
HYBRID LILACS 
The Garden’s Most Gorgeous 
Flowering Shrubs 
Lilacs have long been considered 
one of the finest of flowering shrubs. 
They come early, when we seem 
more than ever appreciative of gar- 
den bloom, they are so fragrant, 
they are most colorful, and they are 
produced in such generous amounts. 
These marvelous French Lilacs 
have all the good points of the other 
older sorts but produce such tre- 
mendous blooms of such beautiful 
and varying colors that they are 
definitely in a class by themselves. 
No yard is complete without a 
planting of several French Hybrid 
Lilacs. They are absolutely “tops” 
in the flowering shrubs.

“THE BOSS’S CHOICE” 
of 
THE TEN “BEST” SHRUBS

Common Euonymus 
Winged Euonymus 
French Lilacs 
Juneberry 
Virginals Mock Orange 
Tamarix 
Wayfaring Tree 
Really there is no such things as the 
ten “best’—but these ten are all so out- 
standingly beautiful and useful in the 
ornamental planting—so different from 
the “ordinary run” of shrubs—and so 
infrequently used and so apparently 
little known, that we venture recom- 
mending them as plants of such truly 
outstanding merit that they should, if 
possible, be used in some part of every 
planting. 

basal shoots. If this procedure is practiced 
a shrub will remain perpetually young and 
vigorous. Remove the older stems first. 
The older stems can be identified by their 
size and height, their darker bark color, 
and their greater number of branches. The 
remaining shoots should be shortened 
slightly and at varying lengths so that a 
symmetrical but natural shape will result. 
HOW TO PLANT EVERGREENS 
The hole for 
y planting an ever- 
Y green should be 
<2 at least one foot 
a 8: larger than the 
ball of earth and 
deep enough to 
allow placing the 
tree slightly 
deeper than it 
stood in the nur- 
sery. Place the 
tree in the hole, 
loosen and pull 
back the burla 
covering and fill 
the hole three- 
quarters full of 
good soil. Firm 
it well. Fill once 
or twice with 
water and allow 
it to soak into 
i the ground be- 
fore putting on more soil. A slight basin 
or depression should be left to facilitate 
later waterings. Water evergreens freely 
throughout the summer. A mulch of straw . 
or peat will prove highly beneficial.
