mean this: In the 
average small gar- 
den you are apt to find # 
a number of old-time, 
out-of-size things, 
mingled rather  indis- 
criminately with the choicer new ones. 
Have the courage to uproot and discard all such out- 
of-bounds, old fellows. Replace them with the more 
desirable new things. Ones that are so much more 
pleasing in habit of growth and more rewarding in 
both beauty and quantity of blooms. Things we have 
selected because of their right height for certain uses. 
Ones happy in shady places. Others that are best for 
either fore or background plantings. 
Among them are the remarkable new. Cotoneasters 
brought from China by Wilson, which he called ‘The 
Queen of Shrubdom.”’ Interesting in a unique indi- 
viduality of growth, flowers and colorful fruit. 
Another one that’s particularly worthy, is the Flow- 
ering Crab. Far superior in so many ways to the Jap- 
anese Cherry trees, which can’t approach them in color 
and beauty of bloom and hardiness. 
If you, therefore, seek the newest and finest in flow- 
ering shrubs and trees, Wayside has selected them 
for you. 
ACER - Japanese Red-Leaved Maple 
Each $3.50, Three $9.00, Doz. $35.00 
Palmatum atropurpureum 
Magnificent purple-red foliage, gracefully laciniated; one of the best 
of small-leaved shrubs. It is attractive at all seasons and makes a 
handsome specimen on the lawn or a colorful group in the foreground 
of the shrub border. 
Althea Rubis 



Japanese Maple 
ALTHEA; HIBISCUS - Rose of Sharon 
Erect growing shrubs of stately and formal shape, particularly well 
suited for screens or specimens in the shrub border. They bloom from July 
to frost and give color when most other shrubs have finished blooming. 
We offer three beautiful varieties of recent introduction, practically unknown, 
and in our estimation the three best. Their ultimate height is about 10 feet. 
Celestial Blue Each $1.00, Three $2.85, Doz. $10.00 
A magnificent distinct and truly blue Althea. The gorgeous single 
disk-like blue flowers are produced in large amounts. Planted with 
our white variety, Snowdrift, it makes aq most handsome color effect 
in the summer border. Plants we send out will bloom this year. 
Snowdrift Each $0.75, Three $2.15, Doz. $7.50 
Giant single disk-like, pure white flowers fully 4 inches across. The 
flowers open flat and are produced in great numbers from early July until 
frost. The plants we send out will bloom the first year. 
Rubis Each $0.75, Three $2.15, Doz. $7.50 
Very large wide-open, deep rose-pink flowers with deeper center. The 
best and most brilliant of the pink shaded Althea. Infinitely better 
than the ordinary double varieties in common use.

fuse the Young’‘s Weeping Birch with what is now generally in use. The 
commonly known Weeping Birch has only secondary weeping branches, 
or rather it is the tips only of the branches that weep or hang down- 
ward, while in the new Young’s Weeping Birch the entire branch or 
limb grows downward. The effect is superb. Ultimate height 25 to 30 
feet. Excellent in small as well as large gardens. All Birches are diffi- 
cult to transplant. Therefore, we offer this lovely tree only in a medium 
size which, with careful handling and watering after planting, will surely 
succeed. However, they are sold at the Purchaser’s risk.
