Che Pick of the World’s Roses for Your Gawen 
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 a few hun- 
dred 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. The Climbing Horvaths are today the largest-flowered in existence; and all are remarkably free from 
conventional Rose ailments. 
Create Lovely New Garden Effects With Roses 
Polyantha or Floribunda 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

The Wayside Gardens Company, 
Mentor, Ohio. 
Gentlemen: | have not answered your letter of July 3rd 
sooner because | wanted to get a longer period of observa- 
tion on the action at our Memorial Garden of your Rose, 
Mabelle Stearns. 
Very candidly, it is my opinion that Mabelle Stearns is 
one of the finest Roses ever produced. It has withstood 
our variable weather. It has withstood neglect, also, and 
in return, it has rewarded us with marvelously strong 
growth, absolutely continuous bloom and a pleasing ap- 
pearance at all times. It has been the most satisfactory 
Rose planted in the Gardeners’ Memorial and | wish that 
you, or someone, could send us other varieties that would 
perform up to 75 per cent of Mabelle. This Rose needs 
room and we arranged a border planting in front of a 
hedge of Rhamnus Cathartica. The roots have had to fight 
for their share of food and they have done an outstand- 
ing job of getting it. In mass planting for borders and 
also in solid beds, it produces 100 per cent. This is the 
“unvarnished truth’’ that you asked for. 
With best regards. 
Yours very truly, 
Ge ESE RISiHER:

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 
dooryard 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. 
Roses have probably caused more men to become in- 
terested in gardens than have all other flowers combined. 
Try it on the men-folk of your household. He may have 
no particular interest in gardens but will frequently develop 
a deep enthusiasm for planting and cultivating Roses. It 
creates a new interest in his home and pays bountiful divi- 
dends in added domestic bliss. 
Wayside Roses Are Strong Rooted 2-Year 
Field-Grown Plants 
If you’ve had costly and disappointing experiences with 
“bargain’’ Roses such as you can always buy at cut-price 
stores and from other sources of no horticultural standing, 
you understand readily why so many thousands of garden- 
ers save money by purchasing their Roses and other hardy 
plants from Wayside Gardens.
