Delicately Tinted 
New Hardy Phlox 
Wonderful Companions to Our Patented Variety, Columbia. 
PINKETTE (Page 58) 
The large florets are soft, delicate pink, very pure and 
lovely. This unusual coloring is heightened by the fact 
that the little narrow tubes which fasten the florets to 
the stem are clear, deep pink. Pinkette belongs among 
the loveliest of Phlox. Flower heads are large, it is a 
good grower and combines beautifully with Columbia 
and Rosy Blue. 
ROSY BLUE (Page 58) 
Soft lavender blue with delicate pink undertones have 
created here one of the finest of Phlox. There never is 
at any time a sign of objectionable purple or violet tint- 
ing. Rosy Blue is one of the finest in this color group- 
ing. The florets are large and grow in fine big clusters. 
The plant is vigorous and makes a superb companion 
to Columbia. 
COLUMBIA. (Page 57) 
The finest light pink Phlox ever introduced. The color 
suggests a delicate cameo-pink with faint blue shading 
at center. The clearness of tone is remarkable, the bril- 
liancy is so pronounced that immediate attention is 
given to this wonderful plant. As the flower ages, the 
blooms always retain their delicate pink shade; there 
never are any mcgenta tones visible. Out of each leaf 
joint grows a lateral or secondary flower spike con- 
tinuing the display of blooms long after the main flower 
head has disappeared. Columbia is, therefore, well 
called the “‘perpetual flowering’ Phlox. 
New Fruit 
“HOWARD’S MIRACLE” (Page 171) 
A New Plum—A New Fruit 
The Most Sensational Fruit of a Decade, Exclusive Wayside 
Introduction 
Giant Fruit, Small Seed, Tastes Like Nectarine, Peach and 
Plum Mixture 
The introduction of the ‘“Miracle Plum’’ marks an epoch 
in the advance of fine fruits for the table. The tantalizing 
and delicious flavor, the great size, firm amber flesh, 
combined with a delightful color, place the ‘Miracle Plum” 
in a class by itself. Invariably, after tasting the ‘’Miracle 
Plum,’’ comes the exclamation: ‘This fruit is truly a 
miracle.” It is something out of this world.” 
Here are some facts about the “’Miracle Plum’’: Extraor- 
dinary large size fruit, average diameter 2/2 to 234 inches. 
An astounding surprise to the palate, flavor not unlike 
Nectarine, Peach and Plum mixed; skin thin and un- 
noticeable when eating fruit, miniature stone, meat Nec- 
tarine-like in quality. Keeping qualities excellent, deli- 
cious in preserves, fruit ripens over long period during July 
and August. Exceedingly fast-growing and quickly bearing 
tree, which will bear fruit second year after planting. 
Beautiful ornamental tree of medium size, foliage per- 
sistent, in autumn richly tinted not unlike the leaves of a 
Maple. Can be grown in a small garden. 
Now as to its hardiness, the demand for this new fruit 
from states where temperatures are not too severe, is so 
insistent that we cannot withhold distribution until final 
tests for hardiness have been completed. However, we are 
offering it for such a modest price that anyone living in 
the coldest sections of this*country desiring it, can well 
afford to take a chance and be the first to enjoy this 
wonderful new Plum. 
New Bulbs 
THE NEW BEGONIA MULTIFLORA 
(Page 104) 
Here we have a most interesting European development 
in Tuberous Begonias. This strain has been bred to 
produce hundreds of medium sized flowers per plant, 
instead of a limited number of the giant flowers. Beds 
and borders planted with the Multiflora Begonias are 
more colorful and brilliant because of the greater masses 
of blooms which are carried well above the foliage. They 
also are able to withstand heat and direct sunlight better 
than the other types but of course their big value is 
their ability to give lots of color in shade. The bulbs 
should be dug after the tops have been killed by frost 
and may be used again the following season. They in- 
crease in size from year to year. 
New Shrubs 
NEW DWARF WHITE BUDDLEIA, 
White Profusion (Page 147) 
With hundreds of flowers all summer. One of our own 
originations. This new dwarf Buddleia fills a long-felt 
want for a low growing, all-summer flowering shrub of 
which there are so few. Not over 3 feet high and about 
the same in diameter, it forms a green mound studded 
with literally a hundred or more short-stemmed flower 
spikes -with pure white blooms the same as those of 
Buddleia Peace. Starting to bloom in early August, a 
continuous supply of flowers is produced until October. 
It fits perfectly into the perennial border and is tops 
in front of taller shrubs, providing a spot of cool color 
where otherwise there is none. 
NEW DOGWOOD, White Cloud (Page 155) 
From thousands of seedlings of white Dogwoods, we 
selected several years ago an outstanding variation. 
This distinctive tree was replanted and grown by itself 
for further observation until we were satisfied we had 
something extra fine in white Dogwoods. It is outstand- 
ing, in particular, for the immense amount of flowers it 
produces as well as the rapidity with which it starts 
flowering so freely. At opening the flowers give a creamy 
yellow effect which, after a few days, changes over to 
white. When in bloom the tree is literally a white cloud; 
the foliage is almost not to be seen. Instead of just 
planting ordinary seedling trees, particularly when space 
is limited, try this new variety. It will reward you with 
greater masses of blooms for all your life. 
Rare Tree 
DAVIDIA INVOLUCRATA (Dove Tree) 
(Page 155) 
Rarest Flowering Tree in America 
(Can only be had from Wayside.) 
The Dove Tree is one of the rarest trees in cultivation 
and originally came from Western China where old speci- 
mens reach the height of 40 to 50 feet. It is slow to start 
but once established, growth is rapid. Any ordinary soil 
suits it. The leaves are Mulberry-like and sweet scented 
when bruised. The outstanding feature of the tree consists 
of two large white bracts of unequal size, enveloping the 
flowers which develop in late May. The hanging white 
bracts are almost constantly in motion and resemble Doves 
in flight. This is one of the most beautiful trees in ex- 
istence. After 15 years’ work we have produced a very 
few which have been grown in bush form about 4 feet tall. 
We believe there are no other plants of this size obtainable 
in America. We do not recommend you attempt to grow 
this beautiful tree in the colder sections ‘of this country; 
south of Philadelphia is safe or temperatures milder than 
encountered there.
