Daphnes are lovely, fragrant plants and the two varieties offered give 
bloom from verv eoar!v sorinaq te 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 country. 
Culture: They prefer a sunny position in well drained, sandy soil. In order 
to keep the evergreen fcliage perfect, protect it with a little straw during 
the coldest part of the winter. The plants will withstand temperatures as 
low as 10 below zerc, Water sparingly in summer. Daphnes will not grow 
well in cold, pocrly drained soil.

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.

Ftardy 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 occured during those several years. 
During May and early June the plarts 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. 
FLOWERING PLANTS FROM POTS 
Daphne Somerset grows best ana fastest when it is transplanted while 
not too big. We, therefore, offer nice young plants from pots which will 
bloom the first year. They average about 12 to 18 inches tall, and in 
one year will grow to almost twice the size.

each autumn for its unbelievable brilliance of foliage. Its compact

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.

and shapely, and ultimately about six feet tall. Its foliage is rich green, 
somewhat like that of Euonymus vegetus and remains on the plant

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.

deepest colors are obtained when it is grown in full sun. It grows well 
in shade but it then loses part of its coloring. Maximum height about 
10 feet. Can be kept any height up to 5 feet with pruning. Hardy 
anywhere! A fine plant for the lawn as a single specimen. Superb foli- 
age for cutting and use with flowers. 
DEUTZIA

many stems rising directly from the root, arching upward and outward, 
thickly covered with foliage which almost completely disappears in May

are hardy throughout most of the country.

lent in clumps in the foreground in the border.

ers. Very frequently the main stem produces 3 or 4 additional smaller 
bloom clusters below the main flower head, creating a veritable bou- 
quet. The flower heads are well above the foliage and last 8 to 10 
weeks or more. The color is pure pink on alkaline soil but will change 
to a magnificent light blue if the plant is grown in acid soil. It grows 
into a stout plant two to three feet in diameter and about the same 
in height, has healthy decorative foliage throughout the season, and 
last but not least it is one of the hardiest of the Hydrangeas.

fountain of bell-shaped, light pink flowers. not unlike the Weigela.
