NEW FLOWERS 
of Unquestionable Merit 
fl[ HE loveliest, most admired flowers for the 
hardy garden are Phlox, Asters, and Chrys¬ 
anthemums. They provide us with bloom from 
July until frost. Being easy to grow, they are 
universal favorites. 
It so happens that in this group of real garden 
beauties, we are able to offer this year very won¬ 
derful improvements. 
Let’s first take Phlox Columbia—a Wayside 
Garden creation. Nothing like it has ever been 
seen. Cameo-pink with a pale blue eye, giving 
perfect flower heads in superabundance. It is 
the loveliest Phlox ever introduced. 
Then we have the new dwarf Asters from 
England. Marvelous low growing plants for the 
border or rock garden. Their hundreds of flow¬ 
ers in late September completely smother the 
plants. Practically immune against all pests and 
free from troubles. 
Then follows the collection of Korean Chrys¬ 
anthemums, hardy as oaks. The new varieties 
that have been created possess colors that rival 
in brilliancy the annuals of summer. 
Lack of room prevents illustrating Chrysan- 
anthemum Pink Cushion, not over 18 inches high 
and spreading 3 feet. A mass of bloom early in 
October. It is offered in our plant catalog. 
Last but not least, Barberry Mentorensis—• 
another Wayside Gardens creation. A Barberry 
which remains green practically the entire winter 
and perfectly hardy. A beautiful plant for hedges 
or foundation planting. Think what that means 
for those people who cannot grow Rhododen¬ 
drons or other evergreen shrubs because of ad¬ 
verse soil conditions. This Barberry grows every¬ 
where. 
Before sending out these really fine new things, 
they have been tested, and tested again. We 
have grown them in large quantities so that we 
could pass on to you the savings that go with 
quantity production. 
We will send these plants to you at the right 
time for planting this spring and will send well 
developed strong roots which will surely flower 
for you to perfection this summer and autumn. 
And now; our usual request! Please order 
early. It will help us in getting our clerical work 
done before the spring rush. All of us will 
greatly appreciate your co-operation. We have 
plenty of stock on hand to fill all orders.
