Laeriay Hybrid Ftemerocallis 
If the value of a plant is to be judged by the aggregate qualities of hardiness, floriferousness, beauty 
and complaisance under almost any circumstances, then the Day Lily must be placed among the elect. 
By crossing numerous species and hybrids, and recrossing and 
reselecting the plants produced in an almost endless process into 
fourth and fifth generations, Dr. Leonian has created the most 
remarkable series now in existence. 
In height they vary from 3 to 4 feet. They stand on stalwart 
stems. Their flowers are of every shade, from deepest burnt or- 
ange through flaming orange-red into amazing tints of pastel old 
rose and maroon shades, all with a clean and pleasant fragrance. 
This marvelous collection of Hybrid Day Lilies has been growing 
and increasing at Wayside for three years, and we are now ready to 

offer some of these plants to our customers. We are going to dis- 
tribute them unnamed and in units of 6 hybrid plants, 12 hybrid 
plants and 25 hybrid plants. The price asked will permit you to 
buy freely. They will be carefully dug and bundled so as to avoid 
duplication. What you now own in Day Lilies does not matter. 
What you will receive will be entirely different in color. Dr. 
Leonian’s Hybrids contain no yellows but are a fine lot of seedlings 
of fascinating colors. And it is almost certain you will find several 
amongst those you buy that your friends and neighbors will want 
to purchase divisions of at a substantial profit to you.

CHRISTMAS ROSE and LENTEN ROSE 
There are two distinct types: one, Christmas Rose, flowering in late win- 
ter, and the other, Lenten Rose, in spring. Both are valuable for garden 
decoration because of their flowering during the dull Period of the year. 
Helleborus altifolius (Improved Niger) 
Each $1.20, Three $3.30, Doz. $10.00 
Helleborus grow about 12 to 16 inches high and have handsome ever- 
green, palmlike foliage. Very leathery in texture and dark green in color. 
During December, January or February, depending on the locality where 
grown, they have large single white, bell-like flowers which frost does 
not affect. They last for a month or more and are produced regardless 
of cold or snow. For hardiness they cannot be improved upon and are 
able to withstand many degrees below zero. Helleborus are frequently 
grown in small cold frames on which the glass is placed only from No- 
vember until after flowering sometime in February, the glass covering 
keeping the white flowers spotlessly clean. We offer. nice 2-year-old 
plants of this rare variety.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT 
As Well as for Your Flowers 
Plants, anytning that grows in the soil, are exactly the same in their 
food needs as humans. There are plenty of what might be called the. 
shot-in-the-arm kinds of ready mixed fertilizers. But, they are mostly 
only stimulants. 
What your plants need is a balanced organic food. Not just a stimu- 
lant. They need one containing in right amounts, those things that 
make plenty of strong roots, produce good sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage 
and an abundance of good sized blooms. 
That’s exactly the kind of Plant Food we use at Wayside. Much of 
Our success in growing such unfailingly fine plants is due to it. 
What it has done, and is doing for our 600 miles of plants, it will 
do for your garden.
