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 attractive 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. As its best in group plantings.

YOUNG DAPHNE CNEORIUM 
DAPHNE CNEORUM (Garland Flower) 
One of the very choicest of all rock gar- 
den evergreens. Produces delicate rose-pink 
clusters of flowers completely covering the 
plant in early spring and more sparsley at 
intervals all summer until freezing weath- 
er. Flowers rival the carnation for fra- 
grance. Growth not exceeding 8-10 inches 
in height but spreading out making a mat 
of grey green. Requires sunny location. 
Young rooted, field grown plants often 
in bloom.

$1.85.

Cotoneaster )—Well known and deservedly a 
great favorite, low growing. The side 
branches grow with a pleasing perfection of 
regularity, the leaves are small and the 
foliage is a good, dark green. Bears masses 
of red berries in the fall that are carried 
well into the winter. Hardy. Deciduous.
