Che Pick of the World’s Roses for Your Garden 
If you have only a little space by your door, you very likely would plant there a Rose. 
No flower is more universally loved. No matter where you go, be it along the unfrequented 
by-paths of the earth, you find people who know the meaning of the word ‘‘Rose.’’ It isn’t 
because poets are peculiar that they’ve sung more about Roses than about all other flowers 
put together. Roses are the romance and beauty of life, loved by all. 
Many a man with no particular taste for gardening has developed a deep enthusiasm for 
planting and cultivating Roses. Few other flowers repay you more satisfyingly in fragrant 
garden loveliness or cut flowers for indoors than the Rose. 
Prize-Winning Wayside Gardens Roses 
To make it easy for you to get the most from your Rose budget, the Wayside list is made 
up of but 200 of the finest types and varieties, the most popular older Roses along with the 
most exciting of the new ones—all of them selected for hardiness, abundant bloom and easy 
growing. 
Among Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses, for instance, you have a remarkably wide selection from 
prize-winning new strains of Europe and America. There are many new Setigera Hybrids and 
other varieties originated by Mr. M. H. Horvath, which are internationally famous, and dis- 
tributed exclusively by us. The Climbing Horvaths are today the largest-flowered in ex- 
istence; and all are remarkably free from conventional Rose ailments. In the list also are 
the best varieties of Hybrid Perpetuals and Polyanthas, besides Hugonis, Rugosa, Floribunda, 
Miniature Roses and other Wayside special items which now grace thousands of the finest 
gardens in America. 
Create Lovely New Garden Effects With Roses 
Polyantha or Baby Rose varieties planted in solid beds give you a magnificent display all 
summer long. People in Europe have long known this for they’ve jeweled the continent with 
millions of them. You get lovely effects with Bedding and Cluster Roses by planting them in 
small groups in front of shrubbery in combination with perennials and annuals. Tree Roses add 
a striking third dimension in your Rose beds and take up practically no ground space. No door- 
yard or garden is complete without Climbing or Rambler Roses on a sunny wall, fence or arbor. 
There are few lovelier sights than the ‘’“Golden Rose of China’’ (Rosa Hugonis) blooming 
with a clump of lavender or purple Tulips in front of it. Pink Rose ‘’Sterling’’ which won the 
Hubbard Gold Medal as the finest Rose of the past five years should have a place in every 
Rose garden. And for your rock garden, don’t miss the miniature beauty of the Rosa Rouletti.
