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 genera¬ 
tions, 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 landscape, and 
properly placed as individual specimens, they are unsurpassed. 
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 dress¬ 
ing of well rotted stable manure or one pound of Wayside Gardens Plant 
Food scattered around each plant in the fall will help to produce abund¬ 
ant blooms. Remove faded flowers at once, do not let plants go to seed; 
never cultivate. Water freely in dry weather.

completely cover the plants while they are in bloom. One of the showiest.

popular. The orange, pink, copper, salmon and yellow shades of their

leaves when young are covered with silky hair, and in autumn turn to 
dull red and brown.

NEW BLUE BUDDLEIA, FORTUNE 
A 1936 Introduction by Wayside Gardens 
(Plant Patent No. 206) 
Most everyone is familiar with the Butterfly Bush. Several va¬ 
rieties 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 four feet high and four feet across. It possesses none 
of the undesirable wild and rough growing characteristics of the 
older varieties. The foliage of Buddelia 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 summer 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 varie¬ 
ties 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. Strong 
plants that will bloom this summer. (See page A for color illustra¬ 
tion.) Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
NEW PINK BUDDLEIA, CHARMING 
A new shrub bearing throughout the late summer and autumn elegant long 
spravs covered with lovely lavender-pink blooms which compared with 
other Buddleias introduced up to date, are distinctly pink. It received a 
Silver Medal from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. For September 
and October flowers we suggest pinching off the first flower-spikes which 
develop in July to aid in the development of side branches which will bring 
a greater abundance of flowers during the autumn months. Like other bud¬ 
dleias. this new variety attracts a great many colorful butterflies- -a feature 
which accounts for the popular name of this showy, hardy shrub. Charming 
gives a wonderful effect in the garden and has exceptional value for house 
decoration. Strong flowering plants, $0.75 each, $7.50 per doz. 
BUDDLEIA, ILE DE FRANCE 
Blooms prolificly and the flowers are large; the color is a deep purple. 
A fine plant for the flower garden or shrubbery border or as a single speci¬ 
men for the lawn. Each $0.60, Doz. $6.00

CARYOPTERIS 
Mastacanthus Superbus 
This handsome, free flowering plant makes a woody growth about 2 to 
3 feet in height. It branches freely near the ground and makes a well 
rounded plant composed of elegant long branches which are covered 
with large whorls of attractive, clear colored flowers arranged in tiers. 
Blooms during September and early October. Besides its value as a plant 
in the perennial border it also is splendid for cutting and because bloom¬ 
ing late in the season it always is particularly welcome. 
Culture. Plant in spring, 2 feet apart in good garden soil in dry sheltered 
location. Protect in cold sections with straw during the winter.
