SPRING EFFECTS ON THE LA WN. 41 beautiful things that do not fiaunt their charms before the eye of the passei'-b_y, it has been simply overlooked. Ex- quisite as all its tints are, they are yet (^uiet, Quaker-like, and almost neutral in effect. The slender stems or branches are a delicate drab, and the flowers have that tender violet or mauve tint so difficult to desci-ibe and yet so charming to dwell on minutely. These flowers are numerous and appear early. When we light, therefore, unex- pectedly on a cluster of rhodoras in some retired nook, they impress us as one of the most exquisite indica- tions of settled spring. Only less dainty than the rhodora is the Daphne Mezereum, bearing many early small flowers on brown erect stems. The color of these flowers is also neutral, a violet purple, very different and less ex- quisite than the rhodora. Very different, too, are the leaves. In- deed, the entire plant is less choice in every way, but, bearing flowers very early, before the leaves appear, it forms on the outskirts of deciduous groups, or better still, standing alone, a noteworthy feature on the lawn. Smaller and more exquisite is the Japan Daphne Genhwa, another, but more dwarf, slender-growing shrub, with nu- merous long downy twigs, which in early spring, before the leaves appear, are thickly garnished with violet-colored.
