1 Atropurpureum Dissectum—Red-Leaved Map 


le with Laciniated Foliage 
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 finds. 
The removal of overgrown and undesirable material and replacing it with new and appropriate plants is a face 
lifting” for a garden. Changes outdoors give you the pleasant sensation of having 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 is 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. 
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. 
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. 
zaleas 
Just as the Rhododendron is the king of the Evergreen Shrubs, so are its 
cousins, the Azaleas, the aristocrats of the Deciduous Shrubs. In color, the 
Azaleas give an assortment of hues in much wider range than in the Rhodo- 
dendrons and flowering periods from mid-April to early July. While classed 
as acid soil plants they thrive in solis of considerable range, particularly the 
Asiatic sorts, which even prefer some lime in the soil. The opportunities for 
using deciduous Azaleas are almost unlimited. Their graceful habit appears 
to good advantage in informal plantings either in wooded areas or in shrub 
borders, while many are most decorative used in the foundation planting 
where evergreens create a dark background for their vivid colors. They 
succeed equally well in sun or shade, preferring a moderately moist soil or 
a mulch of leaf mold. 
Culture: Plant in full sun, in the South in light shade, in soil freely mixed 
with leaf mold and peat in about equal proportions. A yearly top dressing 
of well-rotted stable manure or one pound of Wayside Gardens Plant Food 
scattered around each plant in the fall will help to produce abundant 
blooms. Remove faded flowers at once, do not let plants go to seed; never 
cultivate. Water freely in dry weather. All the varieties offered here are 
quite tolerant of lime and do well in alkaline soils. 
Azalea Mollis 

Mollis Hybrids—AlIl Colors Mixed 
Without exception one of the most satisfactory of all. The color range 
is through innumerable shades .of orange, flame, yellow and, salmon- 
orange of the most brilliant hues. Unlike all other Azaleas, it is quite 
tolerant of lime, and does well most anywhere. It is very hardy, ten 
degrees below, zero does not affect the flower buds. A group of these 
in bloom in the foreground of the shrub border is a delightful sight. 
Average height of old plants about 3 to 5 feet. 
12-15 in. high Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
15-18 in. high Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
18-24 in. high Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
AZALEA MOLLIS BY COLOR 
The below Azalea Mollis are all selected to color. It has taken a long 
time to obtain this carefully picked lot of plants. We, therefore, urge 
prompt ordering as they will be in great demand. 
Yellow Shaded Hybrids 
12-15 inches Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Various tints of yellow from pale to clear yellow. 
Rose Shaded Hybrids 
12-15 inches Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This is a selection of soft rose-salmon and pink tints. 
Red Shaded Hybrids : 
12-15 inches Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Various brilliant shades of reds, orange-red and fiery reds. 
Spotted Hybrids 
12-15 inches Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
These are of various orange-rose and salmon tints but with amber or 
soft green spotted upper petals. Very choice. 
Pontica, “Golden Yellow” 
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. Particularly beautiful in combination with spring bulbs. 
15-18 in. high Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
18-24 in. high Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
Poukhanensis 
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 of the best hardy Azaleas for form as 
well as color and combines brilliantly with the golden yellow Pontica. 
12-15 in. high Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
15-18 in. high Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00
