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.

CULTIVATED LARGE FRUITED BLUEBERRIES 
The supreme achievement of skilled horticulturists who have worked for 
years to improve our most luscious native fruit 
The question invariably asked by those whose interest has been aroused 
is "Are these new Blueberries hard to grow?" The answer instantly and 
truthfully given is "No; they are not in the least hard to grow." In bloom 
they are attractive, and in fall the green foliage turns into beautiful shades 
of red and crimson. 
Blueberries are acid-soil plants. This acid condition is easily brought 
about by simple preparation of the soil—with woods soil, oak leaves, peat or 
aluminum sulphate. 
The new, named varieties of cultivated Blueberries are not self-fertile. 
Consequently, a bush grown by itself will not bear fruit, but where six or 
more plants of different varieties are grown in close proximity, perfect 
fertilization of the blossoms takes place, and abundant crops of huge, 
luscious berries result. 
Consequently our Blueberries are sold in units of 6 plants (mixed varieties) 
or in blocks of 24 plants or more (mixed varieties). Each plant bears a 
carefully written name-tag. Orders for single plants will positively not be 
accepted for reasons noted above. 
2-year size, $7.50 per unit of 6 plants; 24 plants or over, $1.10 per plant. 
All plants are sent with ball of earth. Cultural hints with each order. 
HYPERICUM 
*Calycinum Three $1.40, Doz., $4.00, 100 $25 00

which, when they come up, produce a beautiful carpet of green covered 
with large, yellow blossoms. Ground cover; hardiest of all; 20 inches. 
Henryi Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
The same as Moserianum, though slightly more upright. A lovely little

^’Moserianum Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
A most desirable border shrub about 20 inches high, of free and grace¬ 
ful habit, producing long, slender stems, drooping, apparently from 
the weight of the flowers and buds, although the flowers face so none 
of their beauty is lost. Color a rich golden yellow, and bloom con¬ 
tinuously the entire season. 
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 giving 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.

shape. The leaves are small, light green, and towards fall assume rich, 
brilliant colors, the fruit or berries become scarlet. Absolutely hardy.

TRUEHEDGE COLUMNBERRY 
Berberis Thunbergi pluriflora erecta 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 110). A new Barberry of dense upright growth 
with extra-heavy foliage giving a dainty upright hedge of a rich green 
color that changes to brilliant autumn tints. Perfectly hardy, bearing an 
abundance of berries. Immune to rust. Columnberry should be used as 
an edging to flower beds or for small low hedges. It is recommended in 
place of Boxwood where this is not hardv. Doz. 100

CORNUS - Dogwood 
Florida rubra (Pink Dogwood) Each $4.50, Doz. $45.00 
The Dogwood is one of the handsomest trees in the world at all seasons. 
In the spring its large white flowers are spectacularly beautiful; in the 
autumn its glittering red berries, clustered in a nest of glossy foliage, are 
ornamental to the highest degree. When the robins have eaten the 
berries, the foliage turns various shades of pink, crimson, scarlet and 
maroon, and falls late. There are no trees or shrubs which possess a 
larger measure of attractiveness throughout the whole year. The rare 
pink Dogwood is similar in all respects to the common variety except that 
the flowers are various shades of pink. It is very beautiful and a good 
specimen; in full bloom is a magnificent sight in the spring garden. 
Does well in shade. We offer plants full of buds, about 4 to 5 feet tall.

KALMIOPSIS 
Leachiana Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
A rare and attractive rock garden plant that has recently caught the 
attention of gardeners the world over. It was discovered a few years 
ago by a Portland, Oregon, botanist. Here is something new for the 
gardens. Undoubtedly one of the rarest and one of the finest of small 
broadleaf evergreens. Believed to be one of the few hold-overs of the 
plants of the glacial period, seemingly a remnant of ancient plant life, 
and found only in a very limited area in the mountains of Oregon. 
Foliage is a deep healthy green and in the spring the plants are covered 
with bright pink blossoms. In every respect, it is a most delightful little 
shrub, among the choicest of the choice. We offer a limited number of 
young plants to advance the introduction of this beauty at same re¬ 
quirements as Daphne Cneorum. Perfectly hardy. 
LABURNUM VOSSI Each $4 so 
Long-clustered Golden Chain. A small tree-like shrub with green bark 
and foliage like exaggerated clover leaves. Flowers are pure golden 
yellow and formed exactly like those of Wisteria. The hanging clusters 
attain as much as 1 8 to 20 inches length and are borne very profusely 
in late spring. Very beautiful. Usually bloom the first year. Fine 4 to 5 
foot specimen plants. 
LONICERA - Honeysuckle 
Syringantha Wolfi Each $2.00 
The twiggy droopinq branches of this most delightful and practically 
unknown small shrub are covered with rosy lilac showy fragrant blooms 
in clusters not unlike in fragrance and form the Daphne Cneorum. It is 
of very easy culture. Does well in light shade or full sun, growing not 
much higher than 2 to 2Vjj feet. Excellent for in front of larger shrubs 
or in the flower border and rock garden. You will much enjoy the fra¬ 
grance of this rare little bush. 
MAGNOLIA 
Soulangeana Each $4.50, Doz. $45.00. 
Soulange's Magnolia, sometimes called the Saucer Magnolia for no reason 
at all, is the rather rare Pink Magnolia of city gardens and parks. It 
makes a small tree with gorgeous shining foliage and in early spring 
produces its enormous, pinkish white flowers more or less purplish out¬ 
side and slightly fragrant. This Magnolia is the showiest of the family 
for planting in northern gardens, and when in bloom, even one plant 
will dominate the garden—yes, the neighborhood, if it is a sizeable 
specimen. A whole street in Rochester, lined with this variety, is a 
mecca for all enthusiasts every spring. We offer flowering plants with a 
lot of buds, about 3 to 5 feet tall. 
VIBURNUM - Snowball 
Burkwoodi Each $2.50 
Improved Carlesi. Waxy pink and deliciously fragrant, the flowers of 
this new fragrant Viburnum are produced in early spring when the leaves 
are unfolding. They form round, domed clusters, and the Gardenia-like 
fragrance is so sweet as to pervade a large area. The plant grows about 
4 feet high and 5 to 6 feet in diameter. It likes a well-drained, sunny 
place, with plenty of moisture throughout the season. This is a new 
jewel for the garden—a real aristocrat. For the small garden, where 
there is room only for the choicest shrubs, the one Viburnum above all 
others that should be grown, is Viburnum Burkwoodi. Foliage brilliant 
in autumn. Much stronger and healthier grower than Carlesi.
