Cotoneaster Horizontalis 
AZALEA - Hardy Varieties 
These plants, combining as they do the advantages of both evergreens 
and flowering shrubs, have deservedly won their way to the forefront 
of popularity. Once established, they remain for years, often for gen¬ 
erations, becoming more beautiful, increasing in value, and assuming 
more distinct character with each passing season. For worth while 
permanent foundation plantings, for generous use in the natural land¬ 
scape, and, properly placed, as individual specimens, they are unsur¬ 
passed. 
Culture. Plant in full sun, in the south in light shade, in soil freely 
mixed with leaf mold and peat in about equal proportions. A yearly 
top dressing of well rotted stable manure or one pound of Wayside 
Gardens Plant Food scattered around each plant in the fall will help 
to produce abundant blooms. Remove faded flowers at once, do not let 
plants go to seed; never cultivate. Water freely in dry weather.

6UDDLEIA FORTUNE - New Summer Lilac 
PATENT APPLIED FOR 
A 1936 INTRODUCTION BY WAYSIDE GARDENS 
Most everyone is familiar with the Butterfly bush. Several varieties of 
it have been offered for a number of years. All of them had defects 
and many shortcomings. In Buddleia Fortune we believe we come very 
close to perfection. The bush or shrub is of very neat habit, about 4 
feet high and 4 feet across. It possesses none of the undesirable wild 
and rough growing characteristics of the older varieties. The foliage 
of Buddleia Fortune is a deep, leathery, dark green. The color is pure 
lilac with a brilliant orange eye in each tiny flower, thousands of which 
make up the sprays which are from twelve to eighteen inches long. 
The flowers are produced in superabundance throughout the entire sum¬ 
mer and autumn until stopped by frost. The flower sprays instead of 
being flat on one side as in the old varieties are fully round and in 
bloom from base to tip practically at the same time. The blooms of 
the older varieties are faded and brown at the bottom of the spray 
before the tips are in bloom. To see one of these plants in bloom is a 
sight worth while. The flowers may be cut with stems 2 to 3 feet long 
and last in water for several days which is not possible with older kinds. 
All of the old kinds wilt very quickly. Buddleia Fortune is a grand 
cut flower as well as a fine plant for the flower garden. This is the 
first year of its introduction and it can be had from Wayside Gardens 
only. 
Strong plants that will bloom this summer, Each $2.00. 
COTONEASTER - Rock Spray 
*Horizontalis 
(Prostrate or Rock Cotoneaster). A low-growing shrub with almost 
horizontal branches covered with shiny dark green leaves. The fruit, 
which hangs on until spring, is bright red, giving the plant a wonder¬ 
ful appearance in the fall and winter. It is a most desirable plant for 
rock garden in front of shrubbery or at the base of steps near the 
front door. 
Fine 6 inch pot plants, Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00, 100 $75.00. 
12-15 inch spread, Each $0.75, Doz. $8.00, 100 $60.00. 
*Amoena Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Japanese Evergreen Azalea). A dwarf shrub with double purplish red 
flowers in May; is especially adapted for borders and rock gardens; 
needs some protection in northern latitudes. Should be planted in 
sheltered positions and will abundantly repay for any care given. 
Calendulacea Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Flame Azalea). Probably the most gorgeous of the native Azaleas. 
From early May until well into the month of June the plants are literally 
covered with orange-yellow or flame-red blooms which in size are often 
2 inches across. Foliage remains good until late fall and breaks in the 
spring just before the blooms appear. 
ESPALIER OR TRAINED FRUIT TREES 
In European countries, where space often is limited, it has long been 
the practice to grow trained fruit trees. Some of these trees are 
shaped so that they take no more space than a vine or a climbing 
rose, yet in gracefulness they far surpass these wall decorations. 
Trained fruit trees are not only highly ornamental but also very pro¬ 
ductive. Trees only three years old have been seen in our nurseries pro¬ 
ducing luscious fruit because they have been grown on the proper root- 
stock. Our trees will often produce fruit for you the first and almost 
always the second season after planting. 
*Kaempferi Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
(Torch Azalea). One of the most popular, hardiest and most satisfac¬ 
tory of all; a vigorous grower, never failing to produce its orange-red 
flowers in May; excellent as a point of emphasis in the mixed shrubbery 
border. 
‘■•‘Mollis 12-15 Inches Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
15-18 inches Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Chinese Azalea). Without exception the most colorful of all low- 
growing shrubs; in innumerable shades of orange-flame, and yellow; 
bushy plants offered in mixed colors only. 
Mollis, Louisa Hunnewell Each $1.80, Doz. $18.00 
Derived from a cross between Azalea Mollis and Azalea Japonica, this 
new variety is hardier than either parent and is more beautiful and 
floriferous. The huge clusters of brilliant* salmon-red flowers completely 
cover the plants while they are in bloom. One of the showiest. 
Nudiflora Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Pinxter Bloom). An extremely beautiful Azalea. Rosy pink or whitish 
blooms, after or before the foliage develops, of strong, sweet fragrance, 
and borne in great profusion at about the same time as A. Canescens. 
Fall foliage assumes attractive shades of orange and bronze. Fine for 
dry, open places. 
It is absolutely necessary that all dwarf trained fruit trees are grown 
on proper root system. Reports have come to us that since the United 
States placed an embargo on all Doucin apple stock importations, used 
in the growing of these trees, some gardeners are training ordinary 
standard apple trees into "espaliers." Needless to say that these 
trees will grow out of bounds in a few years' time Our trees are grown 
on originally imported rootstock and all of our present and future 
plantings are and will be grown on the offsprings of this original un¬ 
derstock. 
Where the old type of "standard" fruit tree is cumbersome and takes 
up much valuable garden space, the trained dwarf tree produces an 
abundance of fruit and requires but little space. It is not at all im¬ 
possible for a suburbanite to have a dozen different kinds of fruit 
around his home and at the same time have all the flowers desired. 
Trained trees are easily taken care of and will reward you handsomely 
for the little time devoted to them. They will grow in any exposure 
except north. 
A special circular describing forms and varieties will be sent on request. 
Prices range from $4.00 to $25.00 each. 
Espalier Fruit Trees 
Pontica Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
These are also called the Hardy Ghent Azaleas; they have always been 
popular. The orange, pink, copper, salmon and yellow shades of their 
blooms you must see to appreciate their wonderful beauty. The lus¬ 
trous leaves when young are covered with silky hair, and in autumn 
turn to dull red and brown. 
Schlippenbachi Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Royal Azalea). A vigorous plant 3 to 5 feet high, with very large 
showy flowers of pale rose-pink, the upper petals lightly spotted with 
brown. 10-12 inch selected clumps. 
6ERBERIS - Barberry 
Thunbergi 
(Japan Barberry). Where a dwarf deciduous hedge is wanted, nothing 
equals this beautiful Barberry. Requires but little pruning to keep its 
shape. The leaves are small, light green, and towards fall assume rich, 
brilliant colors, the fruit or berries become scarlet. Absolutely hardy.
