Choice Flo wer Shrubs 
And Small Ornamental Trees 
In most gardens, particularly those started many years ago, one is apt to find big, overgrown shrubs of little value, 
taking up a lot of room. Their long roots reach out for moisture and_ plant food needed by more valuable flowers 
growing nearby. Often, too, their branches cast heavy shade, preventing sun-loving flowers from developing to their 
full beauty. Such overgrown and out-of-size bushes should be promptly removed and replaced with more suitable 
kinds. ; ; 
The removal of overgrown and undesirable material and replacing it with new and appropriate plants is a “face 
lifting” for a garden. Changes outdoors to give you the pleasant sensation as if you had acquired a new garden and 
there is nothing like “a change” to boost us along. } : ; . 
The list of shrubs and small flowering trees offered on the following pages ts decidedly one suited for the small 
garden where every square foot counts. It contains the very best and most colorful new things, many not found in 
the average nursery. 
ene them = 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. 
Lemoine’s new Mock Oranges and new Lilacs, as well as the new Weigelas, new Viburnums and Daphnes, make 
this listing one of the choicest in America. 
If you, therefore, seek the newest and finest in flowering shrubs and trees, Wayside has selected them for you. 
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. Za CAs 
We offer three beautiful varieties of recent introduction, practically unknown, 
and in our estimation the three best. Their ultimate height is about 10 feet.

One of the very first Azaleas to flower, opening rosy lavender flowers 
the same time as Forsythia, thus lengthening by several weeks the 
blooming period of the Azaleas. It will succeed in dry locations and it 
likes some lime. Can be grown quite successfully in slightly alkaline 
soils. Planted in front of a Forsythia, it makes a handsome combination.

Not unlike the Azalea Mollis in habit or appearance but faster and 
stronger growing, forming perhaps a more compact and bigger plant. 
Another outstanding feature is the leaves which in autumn turn to rich- 
est shades of coppery red and fiery browns, creating an effect as color- 
ful as in the spring when the hundreds of golden yellow flowers trans- 
form the plant into a mound of golden yellow. Pontica Azaleas are 
often called Hardy Ghent Azaleas. You'll enjoy some of them in the 
shrub border. They are particularly beautiful in combination with spring

A compact low-growing Azalea which in late May produces such a pro- 
fusion of fragrant Orchid-lavender flowers. The plant is entirely hidden 
by its blossoms. It is easily one ofthe best hardy Azaleas for form as 
well as color and combines brilliantly with the golden yellow Pontica.
