COTONEASTERS, Continued 
Cotoneaster lactea (Parneyi). Most desirable of the taller 
varieties of Cotoneaster. Graceful arching branches well 
strung with dark foliage and in spring, clouds of small white 
bloom. Countless clusters of deep red berries follow the 
bloom and last through winter. Cut sprays provide plenty of 
colorful berries during the Christmas season. Hardy. Sun. 
6-8 ft. We would like to settle one controversial matter here. 
There are no varieties of Cotoneaster or Pyracantha, bear- 
ing conspicuous berries, the birds will not eat. However, 
you will experience less bird trouble with this variety than 
with any other. 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. containers, 75c.

garden, for parking or for planting under low windows and

Crotalaria agatiflora. Spectacular green and yellow flowers 
that so closely resemble Canary birds you almost expect 
them to burst into song. Fern-like tropical foliage. The plant 
grows unbelievably fast. Sun. May be badly frosted during 
cold winters but usually recovers quickly with warm weather. 
Should be pruned heavily about March 1. 6-10 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.15. 
FAIRY LANTERNS 
Daboecia cantabrica Alba. We have this happy little 
shrub in our shaded patio garden and there is not a day from 
March until November that the slender upright stems are 
not laden with glowing white lanterns. Dense dark heather- 
like foliage. Thrives in either sun or shade but its blooming 
season is lengthened by several months if planted in a shaded 
location. Feels perfectly at home in company with Begonias, 
Ferns and Primroses. For best results keep old flower stems 
removed. Hardy. 1 ft. Gal. containers, $1.00. 
We grow hundreds of excellent varieties not listed here.

spicily fragrant clusters of white or pink blooms are among 
the first to show color in spring. Their glossy foliage pre- 
sents a clean polished appearance in all seasons. Daphnes 
require good drainage. Never plant them deeper than they 
were planted in the containers in which you receive them. 
Do not allow soil to wash in about the main stem of the plant.

ble for indoor decorations as the cut flowers retain their

when planting. Fertilize in spring and mid-summer with
