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 submit¬ 
ting 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 definite assurance that your garden, plant¬ 
ed with Wayside 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 com¬ 
pete with the ordinary low-priced plants and 
bulbs. Common sense tells you that can't be 
done when every plant we offer is of highest 
quality. 
"Root Strength" quality is not always notice¬ 
able to your eye until the flower season arrives. 
Then the outstanding difference becomes decid¬ 
edly apparent. 
All inferior or indifferent plants have been dis¬ 
carded, and replaced by the finest varieties at 
reasonable prices. This is possible because we 
offer no novelties until we have first tested them 
and then produced them in goodly numbers, giv¬ 
ing you the benefit of quantity production. 
Correct and Complete Cultural Information 
Makes the Wayside Gardens Co. Catalogs Valuable 
Wayside Gardens Catalogs are more than just 
price lists. 
They contain complete cultural information 
for all plants offered, as well as being a guide 
to all worth-while new plants, bulbs or seeds. 
Public libraries, schools, garden clubs and 
thousands of enthusiastic gardeners throughout 
the country use Wayside Gardens Catalogs as 
text and reference books. 
To be able to give all this additional informa¬ 
tion and continue to render this much needed 
service to gardeners, it is necessary that we re¬ 
ceive a fair compensation. An order for a reason¬ 
able amount will enable us to continue to comply 
with the many requests for a worth-while catalog. 
If the catalog is desired simply for reference, 
25c will pay us for its actual cost of printing and 
mailing. 
Your earnest co-operation will be greatly ap¬ 
preciated. 
SUCCESS COSTS SO MUCH LESS THAN FAILURE 
It is the "Root Strength" in all Wayside Plants that so largely determines and insures 
your garden success. So why take chances when Wayside plants are your guarantee of 
satisfactory results?
