and most will bloom the first season. Note that “most’— 
it’s hard the first season to depend upon a shrub called 
Spitfire. 
Japonica Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
This is the old favorite. It is covered with masses of coral- 
red flowers and recommended because it is cheap for 
screening or hedging. 
DAPHNE CNEORUM 
Cneorum is also known as The Garland Flower because 
of the profusion of delicately-scented, rose-pink flowers 
it produces. It is a low, spreading shrub which hardly ever 
reaches more than 12 inches in height. A splendid edging 
plant—like all Daphnes, it prefers full sun and a well- 
drained soil. They will not grow in poorly drained loca- 
tions. Water sparingly in summer; and in winter, if pro- 
tected from the coldest weather (say 20 degrees below), 
the cool green leaves will remain evergreen. 
Heavily budded plants, 9-12 inches tall: 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
DAPHNE SOMERSET 
(Plant Patent #315) 
This is a relatively recent English origination—hardy prac- 
tically anywhere and does well in light shade. Its blooms, 
a blush pink, come in May and early June in clusters 
6-8 inches long that are wonderfully fragrant. If left un- 
clipped it grows to a height of 5 feet and will reach a 
width of about 4 feet. The leaves, resembling those of 
Boxwood, are evergreen except where temperatures are 
extreme. It grows best when transplanted while young 
and we offer potted plants which usually will bloom the 
first year. Much larger Daphne Somerset plants growing 
in big tarpaper pots can be obtained at the Sales Center. 
Young potted plants: Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
DEUTZIA

and planted around the base of old trees, it will climb

about all you can’t do with it. It Is evergreen and abso-

plantings) they have no equal. 
FORSYTHIA-SPRING GLORY 
This is the Bush that grew in Brooklyn—the common varie- 
ties are everywhere and although they are quite beauti- 
ful, Spring Glory is so much more beautiful that we urge 
you to get it instead of accepting a chunk of root from 
a common variety from an obliging neighbor. Spring 
Glory produces twice as many flowers as common For- 
sythia. Also, the blossoms are larger and of a pale yellow 
that is more pleasing than the usual citrons. Like ordinary 
Forsythia, branches cut and brought indoors during Janu- 
ary and February burst into bloom a few days later.
