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 ovegrown 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 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. 
Althea Rubis ACER PALMATUM - Japanese Maple 
Atropurpureum dissectum Each $7.50 
(Purple Threadleaf Japanese Maple). 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, and 
in our estimation the three best. Their ultimate height is about 10 feet. 
Celestial Blue Each $0.90, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25 
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 $0.90, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25 
Giant single, disk-like, pure white flowers fully 4 inches across. ‘The 
flowers open flat and are produced in great numbers from early July 2 
until frost. The plants we send out will bloom the first year. 
Rubis Each $0.90, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25 
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.
