DAPHNE 
D. cneorum (Rose Daphne). Rose Daphne is a 
dainty little bush 1 to 2 ft. high with gray green 
foliage, each shoot tipped with clusters of clear 
rose pink flowers in April and May and again in 
Autumn. The fragrance is delightful and so 
strong a few plants will scent a wide area. Likes 
plenty of lime in the soil. Must have full sun 
and loose soil which never becomes caked.

D. Somerset (Plant patent No. 315). A recent 
and worth-while addition to the Daphne fam- 
ily. Foliage is rich, dark green, much like the 
ever-popular Boxwood. The flowers are blush- 
pink, star-shaped and in clusters 6 to 8 in. long. 
Delightfully fragrant like D. eneorum and har- 
dier. Evergreen in sections where temperatures 
are moderate. Of medium height—good for 
underplanting the shrub border.

ILEX °¢ The Hollies 
There is something startling about the sight of 
a full-grown Holly tree aglow with red berries. 
Our imaginations are stirred by this familiar spe- 
cies not only because of its association with 
Christmas spirit and cheer, but by its crisp, domi- 
nant, year-round personality. Only one of this 
group looks anything like the tree Christmas 
Holly. They differ greatly in habit and use but all 
are among the most desirable of evergreen shrubs. 
I. bullata (Bozleaf Holly). Resembles dwarf 
Boxwood in habit and foliage. Usually grows 
broader than high, with very glossy foliage. We 
recommend its wide use as it has a live, healthy 
look through the coldest weather.

I. opaca (American Holly). The well known 
Christmas Holly, with red berries. Grows to a 
large tree but may be sheared to a dense bush. 
Both male and female plants should be planted. 
We believe we have one of the finest collections 
of American Holly available and all plants have 
been trained and transplanted frequently.

Mountain Laurel 
K. latifolia (Mountain Laurel). The pink blooms 
of Mountain Laurel in June can hardly be 
matched by any other plant for profusion, deli- 
cate form or lasting quality. Most effective in 
group planting and must have acid soil.

LEUCOTHOE 
L. catesbaei (Drooping Leucothoe). Most beauti- 
ful dwarf shrub for either shade or sun. White, 
bell-shaped flowers cover the drooping stems in 
early Spring. Prices are low for bushy plants. 
The Fall and Winter color of foliage is bronze 
to red and most decorative. Branches cut for 
floral arrangements last for weeks inside the 
home and the cutting improves the plant.

MAHONIA 
M. aquifolia (Oregon Grape). Beautiful at all 
seasons of the year; in Winter the prickly, 
shiny, purplish leaves turn to the finest bronze 
and crimson. Especially suitable if used with 
evergreen Barberry, and as filler where a well- 
foliaged plant is needed to complete the land- 
scape planting.

P. japonica (Andromeda). Hardy Laurel-like 
leafed plant of unequaled value in a broadleaf

lovely sprays of Lily-of-the-valley-like clusters 
of white flowers in very early Spring.

P. floribunda (American Andromeda). Foliage 
similar in size and pattern to P. japonica but 
flowers differ, growing in showy, upright clus-

some mound of rich green retained throughout.

PYRACANTHA 
P. coccinea lalandi (Firethorn). Semi-evergreen. 
Strong, slender branches rising from the ground 
develop stubby side growths upon which are 
hung the numerous orange red berries. Amaz- 
ingly beautiful in the Fall, especially when 
planted against a gray stone background.

RHODODENDRONS 
With beautiful blossoms in the Spring and rich 
green foliage during the Winter months, Rhodo- 
dendrons are indispensable in any planting. Little 
care is needed after the plants are once estab- 
lished. They succeed in any light acid soil; enjoy 
Summer shade anddislike “wet feet”. We will give 
you full instructions for planting and cultural care. 
R. carolinianum. A very early blooming 
variety, small and compact. Has handsome, 
dark green leaves and in May and June pro- 
duces a profusion of soft rose pink bloom. 
A great favorite.

June, just after R. carolinianum. Well budded 
plants.

RHODODENDRON HYBRIDS 
These are the grafted named Rhododendrons 
which produce such gorgeous displays of color 
in June. 
We offer only varieties hardy in this section. 
Their foliage is somewhat better than native 
types and they almost never fail to set bloom buds. 
Hybrid Rhododendrons are so searce this year 
that we can accept orders at the nursery only 
since we do not have all sizes in all varieties.
