Hardy Azaleas and Flowering Shrubs 
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.

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.

BOXWOOD 
We are glad to be able to offer this valuable shrub again and at a price 
everyone can afford. The stock we offer is bushy and wide, excellent for 
edging walks or beds. Contrary to the usual idea. Boxwood is hardy and 
will stand a temperature of 10 below zero without any damage, providing 
the plants are protected with a little lath screen, admitting air and 
light, but qivinq enough shade so that the sharp sun during the months 
of December, January and February, does not burn the foliage. Grows 
in any soil. Plant 4 inches apart.
