Corylus var. purpurea— (Purple leaved hazel)—This plant is by all odds the best purple foliage plant for gen- eral purposes we have and very hardy ; it is very showy at a distance.

Daphne mezereum {rti- brum and album) should be in our collection of shrubs from the fact that they are , the earliest flowering shrubs we have, and of very sweet per- fume.
