Dicentra Spectabilis 
DIANTHUS BARBATUS - Sweet William 
This charming old favorite has been in cultivation for some three cen- 
turies. Strictly speaking, it is a biennial, but on well-drained soils it is 
perennial in character. There are single and double forms of it, but the 
former are the hardier and more easily grown of the two. 
Culture. Sweet Williams will succeed in good, ordinary rich soil in masses 
in the mixed, sunny border. Plant in autumn or early spring, 8 to 12 
inches apart. 
Sutton’s Giant White Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
Enormous trusses which might well be mistaken for perennial Phlox. 
Sutton’s Pink Beauty Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
We have succeeded in fixing the shade of this beautiful salmon-pink 
variety, which should be grown in every garden. 
Sutton’s Scarlet Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
A remarkable color. The flowers are of an intense scarlet. 
Sutton’s Mixed Shades Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
Include all the various tints, which give a most pleasing and harmonious 
effect. 
DICENTRA - Bleeding Heart 
Old-fashioned perennials; also known under the name of Dielytra. The 
species named below have fleshy, brittle stems and finely cut, fernlike 
foliage. 
Culture. Spectabilis should be grown in a partially shady border. Eximia 
will do well in a similar position, or in the woodland garden, or in a shady 
nook of the rockery. Plant in fall or very early spring, 8 to 12 inches 
apart. 
*Eximia Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
(Plumy Bleeding Heart.) A dwarf-growing sort, with beautiful, finely 
cut foliage and showy racemes of pretty pink flowers throughout the 
season. Too much cannot be said for this fine border plant as it is 
equally at home in full shade or sun and perfectly hardy anywhere. 
Spectabilis Each 90c, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25 
(Bleeding Heart or Seal Flower.) An old-fashioned favorite; its long 
racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are always attractive; 
it is used also for forcing in the house, and is perfectly at home in any 
part of the hardy border, and especially valuable for planting in clumps. 
DICTAMNUS - Gas Plant or Fraxinella 
An old-fashioned, herbaceous perennial. Once firmly established, a 
plant will continue to thrive in the same spot for several generations. 
They have ashlike leaves which emit a delightfully fragrant odor, and 
the quaintly formed flowers are borne in upright racemes. The inflores- 
cence is covered with glands secreting a resinous, volatile matter, which 
gy be ignited in the evening of hot days without any damage to the 
plants. 
Culture. They require a deep, rich, loamy soil and a sunny, well-drained 
border. Not suitable for heavy, damp soils. Best grown singly, so as to 
display the handsome contour and beauty of the foliage. Once planted, 
avoid disturbing the roots. Plant in spring or fall, 10 to 12 inches apart. 
Fraxinella caucasicus Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A very showy border perennial, forming a bush about 214 feet, having 
fragrant foliage and spikes of rosy pink flowers with deeper veins dur- 
ing June and July. It is not advisable to transplant often, as it. im- 
proves with age, being one of the most permanent features of the 
herbaceous border. 
Alba Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
The white-flowered variety of above, and much sought after as a long- 
lasting flower for cutting. 
Wayside has several hundred acres of flowers 
brought to a high state of perfection by the use of 
but one specially prepared organic plant food.
