Daphnes are lovely, fragrant plants and the two varieties offered give 
bloom from very early spring to May and, occasionally, through the summer. 
Both are of delicious fragrance and dainty, compelling beauty. They are 
hardy with little protection except in the coldest sections of the country. 
Culture. They prefer a sunny position in well drained, sandy soil. In order 
to keep the evergreen foliage perfect, protect it with a little straw during 
the coldest part of the winter. The plants will withstand temperatures as 
low as 10 below zero. Water sparingly in summer. Daphnes will not grow 
well in cold, poorly drained soil. 
*Cneorum (Garland Flower) 
These shrubs cre of spreading habit and do not grow over 8 to 12 
inches high; producing delicately perfumed, rose-pink blossoms. The 
flowers completely cover the plant not only in spring but again in early 
autumn. As an edging plant in front of evergreens or shrubs, it is 
unequalled. It also forms a splendid low hedge along garden walks 
and around flower beds.

pendulant branches before the foliage appears. Its ultimate height 
is about 3 feet. It can be grown in flower border, rock garden or in 
front of shrub border. Likes well drained, ordinary garden soil but 
will not thrive without protection in localities where temperatures go 
below zero. Transplants with absolute success if pot-grown plants 
are set out. We offer fine young plants about 12 to 15 inches tall

FORSYTHIA 
Spring Glory 
Forsythia Spring Glory, is without question the loveliest 
of all the Golden Bells. 
When seen in bloom, it is a sight not easily forgotten, its 
large pale yellow flowers completely cover the branches in 
such masses that they literally bend with their weight. 
It would not be far amiss to say that it produces twice 
the number of blossoms of the common Forsythia. Further, 
the pale yellow color is very pleasing and brilliant, infinitely 
more attractive and cheerful than that of the varieties now 
in general use. If you desire a sparkling and cheerful dis- 
play in your garden in early spring, plant a few Forsythia 
Spring Glory. There is nothing which will make you forget 
winter as quickly nor announce spring as flamboyantly. 
Spring Glory is ‘’the variety’’ to grow for flowering in- 
doors. Branches cut during January and February burst 
into bloom without any trouble in a few days and make a 
gorgeous show in the house during the winter months at 
practically no cost to you.

New Hardy Daphne UN oneueLe 
(Plant Patent No. 315) 
This deliciously fragrant and easy to grow Hybrid Daphne orig- 
inated in England a few years ago. It has received the highest 
honors from The Royal Horticultural Society of Great Britain. 
When first shown in London, England, it was one of the highlights 
of the show. It has been on test at Wayside Gardens for many 
years, and has successfully wintered without protection all kinds 
of weather that occurred during those several years. 
During May and early June the plants are covered with delight- 
fully scented blush-pink, star-shaped flowers in clusters 6 to 8 
inches long. The fragrance is not unlike that of Daphne Cneorum 
or Viburnum Carlesi. It grows and flowers exceptionally well in 
light shade. 
The foliage is rich dark green, giving the plants the appearance 
of Boxwood. It remains green in northern Ohio until the beginning 
of March when the new leaves push the old ones off the branches. 
In those sections of the country where temperatures are moderate, 
Daphne Somerset is evergreen. 
Left unclipped it grows about 5 feet high and 4 feet wide. 
It is a lovely low shrub for in 
front of the shrub border and 
blends happily with hardy plants 
in the flower border as well as 
with other evergreens. 
Visitors to our nursery, pro- 
fessional as well as amateur, all 
have admired it. Mr. F. F. 
Rockwell, garden expert and 
writer of many _ horticultural 
books and articles, remarked 
when he saw it in bloom this 
spring: “’Here is one of those 
rare things that happens once 
every 25 years or so.’ It is a 
choice plant with a great fu- 
ture. 
FLOWERING PLANTS FROM

Doz. $20.00
