POLYGONUM .- Silver Lace Vine 
Auberti (Silver Lace Vine) Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
One of the fastest growing vines in cultivation. The foliage is perfectly 
clean. No insects bother it. It has no pests and it grows 15 to 20 feet 
the first year after planting. In summer it is covered from top to toe 
with foamy sprays of white flowers. It requires a warm, sunny exposure 
and well-drained sandy soil, fairly rich. If given these conditions its 
growth is astounding. Will cling to any kind of support, and it will 
cover an unsightly building, wall or barn in two years time. Be sure and 
plant only in full sun, eastern or southern exposure. 
SCHIZOPHRAGMA HYDRANGEOIDES 
(Climbing Hydrangea) 
This perhaps is the finest and choicest of all the vines offered in our 
catalog. It is not a rampant growing plant but when established makes 
good growth each year. It is woody but clings to brick or wooden walls 
without support, and also does fine on old trees or stumps. 
Its foliage is bold, clean and shrublike, and a rich dark green color. 
Short spur branches projecting from the wall are topped with white fragrant 
Hydrangea-like blooms throughout the summer. The effect created is most 
artistic. 
Last, but not least, it does equally well in shade or sun. In fact, we 
recommend the Climbing Hydrangea for north, west walls or such places 
where shade is dense in summer. If you own one of these vines you will 
have something you will admire all your life. The height can be easily con- 
trolled from 10 to 20 feet. 
Nice plants in pots, Each $3.50 

Food for Thought as Well as for 
Your Flowers 
Why treat your flowers in a way you would openly resent if 
done to you? You wouldn’t put up with any old food that comes 
along, so to speak. For your children, you are no end fussy about 
being sure of their having enough, and the right vitamins. You 
are particular about a balanced diet. 
Plants, anything that grows in the soil, are exactly the same 
in their food needs as humans. 
There are plenty of the ‘’shot-in-the-arm” kinds of ready 
mixed fertilizers. But, they are mostly only stimulants. 
What your plants need is a balanced organic food. Not just 
a stimulant. 
They need one containing in right amounts, those things 
that make plenty of strong roots; produce good, 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 unfailing fine plants is 
due to it. (See page 176.)
