Acer—Red-Leaved 
By selected, we mean this: In the average small garden you are apt to find a number of old-time, 
out-of-size things, mingled rather indiscriminately 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 back- 
ground plantings. 
Among them are the remarkable new Cotoneasters brought from China by Wilson, which he called 
“The Queen of Shrubdom.” Interesting in a unique individuality of growth, flowers and colorful 
fruit. 
Another one that’s particularly worthy is the Flowering Crab. Far superior in so many ways to 
the Japanese Cherry trees, which can’t approach them in color and beauty of bloom and hardiness. 
If you, therefore, seek the newest and finest in flowering shrubs and trees, Wayside has selected 
them for you. 
Althea Rubis ACER - Red-Leaved Maple 
Palmatum atropurpureum Each $3.50, Three $10.00, Doz. $35.00 
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; 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, 4 
and in our estimation the three best. Their ultimate height is about 10 feet. 
Celestial Blue Each $1.00, Three $2.75, 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 a most handsome color effect 
in the summer border. Plants we send out will bloom this year. 
Snowdrift Each $0.75, Three $2.00, 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 $2.00, 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.
