GIRARD BROTHERS, PROPRIETORS 

BROAD LEAF 
DAPHNE CNEORUM (Garland Flower) 
One of the very choicest of all rock gar- 
den evergreens. Produces delicate rose pink 
clusters of flowers in early spring, com- 
pletely covering the plant and more sparsely 
at intervals all summer until freezing 
weather. Flowers rival the carnation for 
fragrance. Growth not exceeding 8-10 inches 
in height, but spreading out making a mat 
of grey green. Requires sunny position. 
Young rooted field grown plants, often in 
bloom. 
Transplants—4-6 in., 50c each, 4 for $1.85, 
postpaid. 9-10 in., BB., $1.25 each. 12-15

MAHONIA AQUIFOLIA 
(Oregon Holly Grape) 
The leaves are holly-like and bright green. 
Has long clusters of bright golden yellow 
flowers in the spring, followed by bunches 
of bright blue grape-like berries. Most at- 
tractive in foliage, flower and fruit. The 
sprays are fine for interior decoration. In 
the north the leaves lose their color in late 
winter but do not fall off. In the spring new 
life comes back into these leaves. Never 
winter kills. At its best in group plantings. 
We grow it in full sun, but it is at its best 
in half shade. Prefers a rather heavy soil. 
Transplants—Field grown, 8-10 in., 50c 
each, 3 for $1.35, 12 for $4.75, postpaid. 
ILEX OPACA (American Holly) 
Seedling American Holly cannot be de- 
pended upon to bear fruit, because there are 
both male and female plants. Our plants 
are grown from cuttings from bearing fe- 
male plants. These cost more than seed- 
lings, and Hollies dug from the wild. It does 
best in a moist, partially shaded, wind pro- 
tected spot. 
Cutting Grown Transplants—8-15 in., 3

mus). A purple leaf form of E. Radicans.
