New Buddeias 
Butterfly shrubs bloom abundantly the same year you plant them. 
Are easy to grow and require little or no care. 
Gortune (Plant Patent No. 206) 
In Buddleia Fortune we believe we come very close to perfection. The bush 
or shrub is of very neat habit, about 5 feet high and 4 feet across. The 
foliage of Buddleia Fortune is a deep, leathery dark green. The flower 
spikes are lilac with a brilliant orange eye in each tiny flower, thousands of 
which make up the sprays which are from 12 to 18 inches long. The flowers 
are produced in super-abundance throughout the entire summer and autumn 
until stopped by frost. The flower spikes, instead of being flat on one side 
as in many varieties, are fully round and in bloom from base to tip prac- 
tically at the same time. They may be cut. with stems 2 feet long and last 
in water for several days. Buddleia Fortune is a grand cut flower as well 
as a showy plant for the garden. 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
G| laming Violet (Plant Patent No. 519) 
This is one of the most brilliant of the Buddleias. In sunlight in the 
garden, the immense spikes are an amazing color of flaming violet or doge- 
purple, intensely brilliant and sparkling with a fiery glow rarely seen in 
flowers. Under artificial light as a cut flower it is supreme, far surpassing 
in brilliance anything yet produced in Buddleias. The flower trusses are 
completely rounded, measuring 12 to 18 inches long. The individual flowers 
are spaced closely and open practically all at the same time. They last a 
long time in bloom on the shrubs as well as when cut and placed in water. 
The plant is vigorous, strong and upright in growth, and flowers throughout 
the summer and autumn. We send vigorous young plants in pots which will 
flower profusely for you this year. 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
ie? ascinating 
A beautiful new Buddleia bearing long, graceful, somewhat open blooms 
of soft cattleya-pink or orchid. This handsome strong growing shrub flowers 
profusely throughout the summer and autumn, and its big round trusses of 
flowers, 14 to 18 inches long, make it a conspicuous subject. The more the 
flowers are cut, the more new ones grow. Like other Buddleias this new 
variety attracts a great many butterflies, adding to its charm in the 
garden. Not many plants are available for this year and it cannot be 
purchased elsewhere. We, therefore, urge you to send your order promptly. 
We offer fine young plants in pots which will flower profusely for you this 
summer, 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
Peace 
(1945 Introduction. Patent Applied For) 
At long last a pure white Buddleia, and one that is as hardy as any of the 
other varieties we offer. Buddleia Peace is a result of many years of effort 
and is an offspring of that fine parent Fortune. The graceful and slightly 
arching flowers are well formed, full, and 12 to 16 inches long, produced in 
abundance throughout summer and autumn until stopped by frost. In the 
garden they give a cool summer effect and contrast pleasantly with other 
varieties. As a cut flower, it is unsurpassed, combining handsomely with 
Glads, Dahlias, or for that matter, any other flower. The plants are rugged 
and grow about 6 feet tall, have fine foliage, grow rapidly and require no 
more care than any other kind. Be the first to have this rare white variety 
in your garden. We offer fine showy plants in pots that will flower abun- 
dantly the first summer, 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Purp le Prince 
(1945 Introduction. Patent Applied For) 
_ The immense broad spikes which resemble Lilacs are a rich, iridescent 
imperial purple which sparkles in sunlight. A brilliant golden orange eye 
in each tiny flower gives added charm and interest to this outstanding va- 
riety. The shape and size of the flower spikes of the new Buddleia Purple 
Prince are unusual and put this variety in a class by itself. The base of the 
flower spikes is at least twice as wide as that of other varieties giving a 
very massive effect. These big flowers are produced in unlimited quantities 
thrcughout the summer dnd autumn on handsome rugged but not too tall 
plants. They are excellent for cutting and particularly handsome under 
artificial light. We offer strong plants in pots that will bloom freely this 
summer, 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
FOOD FOR THOUGHT

What your plants need is a balanced organic plant food. Not just a 
stimulant. They need one containing in right amounts, those things 
that make plenty of strong roots, produce 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

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 Rhododendrons—and flowering periods from mid-April to 
early July. While classed as acid soil plants they thrive in soils 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 border, while 
many are most decorative used in the foundation planting where ever- 
greens 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 lecf 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 on alkaline soils. 
Mollis Hybrids. 
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 
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. 
Mucronulata 
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 
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. 
Pontica, “Golden Yellow” 
15-18 inches. Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
18-24 inches. Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
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 
enrue border, They are particularly beautiful in combination with spring 
bulbs. 
Poukhanensis 
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 
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.
