Hlowertug SHRUBS 
DAPHNE CNEORUM 
A beautiful, low shrub with very fragrant, bright rosy pink flowers in small clusters. 
Blooms in May and often produces more flowers again in the fall. Seldom more than 10 
inches tall and is, therefore, excellent for rock-garden use. The waxy foliage stays green 
all winter. 8 to 10 in., $1.69 each; 2 for $3.29; 4 for $5.95. 
AZALEA MOLLIS 
ee Ree : These aristocratic shrubs are excellent for formal plantings, in the shrub border and 
DAPHNE CNEORUM foundation planting. They are hardy and not difficult to grow. Ordinary garden treatment 
gives good results; a partly protected spot is advisable. A long-lived plant, increasing in 
beauty as the years pass. Excellent for either mass or specimen planting. The large flowers 
that come in May are delicate shades of yellow, salmon, etc., which contrast well with 
the dark foliage of rhododendrons. These plants belong to the same family and do well 
when planted together. 
oe 
There are many large Azalea gardens in the South that attract thousands of visitors 
every year and are world-famous. Not all of their varieties can be grown in the North, 
but Azalea mollis will be found very satisfactory if given a sheltered location. 10 to 12 in., 
$1.69 each; 2 for $3.29; 4 for $5.95. 
FRENCH LILACS (Syringa vulgaris) 
The richly fragrant and hardy Lilac has become one of the most widely planted of all 
shrubs. The old-fashioned Common Lilac has been grown for several hundred years, but 
modern French Hybrids are an improvement on it, bearing both single and double flowers 
in larger heads and a wider range of color, as well as a longer flowering season. They also 
begin to bear flowers at a much earlier age than the older kinds. Lilacs grow freely in almost 
any good garden soil. They do best in full sun. Pruning is necessary from time to time. 
Since many of the French Lilacs are grafted, all suckers produced below the point of union 
must be removed.

manent effects, especially in shaded 
places. Their huge heads of bloom 
are carried proudly against the thick, 
leathery leaves in early summer. They 
must have acid soil. The roots should 
be kept cool and moist by the use of a 
mulch of rotted oak leaves, peat moss 
or pine needles. It is best to set the 
plants where they will not be exposed 
to sharp winds. Mixed colors. 10 to
