Lutea major $2.25 per 12; $15.50 per 100 
A very effective autumn-flowering bulbous plant producing 
crocus-like flowers of a rich golden yellow. The bulbs make 
a charming decoration if planted in bowls or pots and 
flower a few weeks after planting. Out-of-doors the Stern- 
bergia likes a warm, well-drained situation on banks or bor¬ 
ders, where it should be left undisturbed. The bulbs should be 
planted 9 inches deep, and in cold districts a covering of 
dry litter should be given in winter. Fine for the rock garden. 
riteleia = ^Atilla 
*Uniflora violacea $0.60 per 12; $4.00 per 100 
A rootlike bulb which produces in early spring a pale violet- 
blue flower with white center. Somewhat resembles the 
Chionodoxa, is delightfully fragrant. They spread and multi¬ 
ply with amazing rapidity and are excellent in the rockery or 
under shrubs or trees where nothing else will grow. They are 
hardy, but like a little protection. About 3 inches high.

Gardeners and lovers of flowers know about the importance of 
Hardy Perennial plants in the garden. Beginners, we would like 
to tell that these plants are long lived and with modest care and 
attention grow larger and finer from year to year. They exist in 
infinite variety, ranging from the tiniest edging or rock plant to 
tall, stately, robust plants for backgrounds in larger gardens. 
Careful selection of plants will enable you to enjoy hardy flow¬ 
ers from earliest spring until snow. Masses of bloom may be had 
long before the annuals show color. 
The most successful and colorful hardy gardens are those which 
are planted early in the fall or early in spring and where three or

more plants of one kind have been planted in a good sized single 
group. In the larger gardens it is best to use six or even a dozen 
plants of one variety. Create solid bold masses. Gardens so 
planted are easy to take care of and unquestionably the most 
satisfactory. 
You, perhaps, know that Wayside Gardens are the best known, 
as well as the most critical, growers of Hardy Plants in the 
country. This reputation has been gained by painstaking caring 
for the needs of customers. We are ready to help you and sin¬ 
cerely hope that you will afford us this opportunity this year.
