ROOT STRENGTH 
is of 
particular importance 
to buyers 
A S you read through the pages of this book we ask 
^ you to bear in mind that we are, submitting for : 
your approval something in excess of merely flowering 
bulbs, flowering plants or rose bushes as such. 
The vital something Is the intangible quality of 
''Root Strength." That something which is your defi- ‘ 
nite assurance that your garden, planted with Way- 
side plants and bulbs, will the first season, be a spot 
of satisfaction and exceptional beauty. Note we say 
the first season. 
There has been no effort on our part to compete 
with the ordinary low-priced plants and bulbs. Com¬ 
mon sense tells you that can't be done when every 
plant we offer is of highest quality. 
"Root Strength" quality is not always noticeable to 
your eye until the flower season arrives. Then the out¬ 
standing difference becomes decidedly apparent. 
All inferior or indifferent plants have been dis¬ 
carded, and replaced by the finest varieties at reason¬ 
able prices. This is possible because we offer no novel¬ 
ties until we have first tested them and then produced 
them in goodly numbers, giving you the benefit of 
quantity production.
