Even in small gardens there's always room for the rich color of Peonies, 
Oriental Poppies and Oriental, Japanese and German Iris. And where you 
have lots of room, they give you dramatic showings that easily explain their 
universal popularity. 
In choosing varieties, don't overlook some of the exciting novelties of well 
proved merit. For instance, the sensational new Snowflame Poppy on page 
61 that mere words can't describe and the new double Oriental Poppy, Sal¬ 
mon Glow, with its gorgeous 8-inch blooms that won it a first-class certificate 
in Holland. A magnificent German Iris is the Jean Cayeux, a masterpiece de¬ 
veloped by the famous French Iris specialist whose name it bears. And don't 
overlook the incredibly lovely Peony, Souvenir de Maxine Cornu, shown in nat¬ 
ural colors on page 50. You get the greatest masses of bloom from single 
Peonies of which we offer you a number of the finest varieties. 
All of these are hardy plants that do best if fall planted. And you're as¬ 
sured more luxuriant bloom right from the first year because, like all Wayside 
plants, these are of extra strong rooted, thoroughly acclimatized and of true- 
to-type pedigreed stock, that gives you years of unusual garden pleasure. 
Fall Planting Pays

Fall is the best time for moving 
or setting out all plants of unques¬ 
tioned hardiness. Weather and soil 
conditions are usually better and 
safer than in early spring and all 
hardy and rock plants are more 
safely moved while they are dor¬ 
mant. Most of them become dor¬ 
mant in northern United States 
early in September after the hot¬ 
test and driest days of summer are 
over. Plant them during this dor¬ 
mant period, before they begin 
their new fall growth. 
Why You May Depend 
on Wayside 
Root Strength Plants 
It's also important to you that the plants you buy 
shall grow and bloom as you expect. Nothing is more 
discouraging than a plant failure after it is too late to 
replace it, leaving a garden scar that often lasts most 
of the season. Our "pedigreed root strength" plants 
save you from such disappointment. 
Our long experience convinces us that only "pedi¬ 
greed root strength" plants can give you the full ex¬ 
pectation of abundant flowering that any grower's 
catalog pictures and descriptions promise you. It is 
only the skillful "breeding" of plants that can guar- 
Do You Have Our 
180 'page Spring Catalog? 
This Wayside Gardens Spring Catalog is 
a book of extraordinary value and conven¬ 
ience to gardeners. That's not surprising 
because thousands of America s most intel¬ 
ligent gardeners have contributed to it by 
their questions, asked us. You find in it all 
the cultural information needed to plan and 
plant a successful garden. The descriptions 
of more than 2000 varieties are accurate and 
clearly factual; hundreds of them are beau¬ 
tifully illustrated, 36 pages in gorgeous 
natural colors. As one of our customers has 
put it, “It's the finest presentation of the 
best things for my garden I have ever re¬ 
ceived from any nursery in my 32 years of 
gardening." The New Yorker Magazine said 
this of it, in reporting the New York Flower 
Show in March, “The one put out by the 
famous Wayside Gardens, of Mentor, Ohio, 
is such a beauty and so full of useful, clear¬ 
ly written gardening information that it 
really seems worth binding for a permanent 
place in your library."

antee you pure, true strains and 
prize specimens, every time. This 
is why so many thousands of 
America's most successful gar¬ 
deners, large and small, depend 
almost exclusively on Wayside 
Gardens for new stock. 
The reason lies in our special 
method of plant propagation. The 
plants we send you are reproduced 
only from finest seed parents or 
by cuttings and divisions from ex¬ 
ceptionally strong-rooted, vigor¬ 
ous stock, scrupulously selected 
for purity of strain and color— 
plants that have a "pedigree" 
without a stain. This scientific 
process carries all the strength 
and beauty of the parent stock 
over into the new plants. After 
that, the plants are grown in open 
nursery fields for a year or more, 
___ under soil and climate conditions 
unusually well adapted to the de¬ 
velopment of the stamina and survival characteristics 
that enable them to thrive anywhere in the east, north 
and central parts of the country. 
To make doubly sure to get all these exceptional 
qualities, we dig your plants fresh from the fields and 
ship them that same day, preserving all roots, mini¬ 
mizing the "surgical shock" of moving them. 
That's why Wayside Pedigreed Hardy Plants assure 
you extra years of enviable color and profusion in your 
garden. We start right from the beginning. You get 
more for your money!
