D aphne 
Daphnes are lovely, fragrant plants and the two varieties offered give 
bloom from very early spring to May and, occasionally, through the sum- 
mer. Both are of delicious fragrance and dainty, compelling beauty. They are 
hardy with little protection except in the coldest sections of the couniry. 
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 are 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 alsc forms a splendid low hedge along garden walks and 
around flower beds. Each Three Doz.

Hardy Daphne “Somerset” 
(Plant Patent No. 315) 
This deliciously fragrant and easy to grow Hybrid Daphne originated 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 delightfully 
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 Box- 
wood. 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 hap- 
pily with hardy plants in the flower border as well as with other evergreens. 
Visitors to our nursery, professional 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 future.

EUONYMUS 
Alatus compactus (Dwarf Flame) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
In the Arnold Arboretum in Boston this shrub causes much comment 
each autumn for its unbelievable brilliance of foliage. Its compact 
growth, easy culture, and slow growth make it one of the outstanding 
shrubs for hedges as well as individual specimens in the garden. Its 
ultimate height is six feet. Be sure to plant one or more of them in 
your garden for a brilliant autumn foliage display. Does well in shade. 
Monstrosus Each $4.00 
A rare new shrub particulorly interesting during the winter. Its bark is 
corky and spreads out in big flat wings of most interesting character. 
The common Euonymus alatus does this also but not in the same degree 
as this new variety Monstrosus. Grows beautifully in shade or full sun; 
in autumn its foliage becomes a brilliant, glowing, fiery mass. Ultimate 
height about 5 feet. Grows anywhere and is hardy anywhere. 
Patens Each Three Doz. 100 
Bushy plants 15 to 18 inches...... $2.00 $5.75 $20.00 $150.00 
This is one of the finest and easiest grown evergreen shrubs. Compact 
and shapely, and ultimately about six feet tall. Its foliage is rich green, 
somewhat like that of Euonymus vegetus and remains on the plant 
practically throughout the entire winter and is quickly replaced by shiny 
new foliage in spring. It is a plant par excellence for growing in shady 
places, under tall trees or in sunless corners. It makes a fine hedge and 
can be pruned any way to suit. Blends beautifully with evergreens, 
grows equally well on acid or alkaline soils and is iron-clad hardy. 
In autumn numerous orange berries add to its charm. Transplants 
easily either in fall or spring. Does excellently in shade.
