FOOD FOR THOUGHT—As Well as For Your Flowers 
Plants, anything that grows in the soil, are exactly the same in their 
food needs as humans. There are plenty of what might be called 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 stimu- 
lant. 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. 
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 do 
for your garden.

CALLUNA AND ERICA - Heaths and Heathers 
The Heaths are compact, low growing evergreen plants, and as such 
are extremely useful for planting in front of evergreens or as edgings. The 
small foliage is densely arranged around the wiry little stems, and either 
when in full bloom or in midwinter makes a very pretty picture. 
Culture. All Heaths and Heathers require a warm, well drained soil. Half 
peat and loam freely mixed with coarse sand to which a liberal quantity of 
well-rotted cow manure has been added suits them best. 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
(Scotch Heather.) A low-growing shrub, with erect branches covered 
with short, closely adpressed leaves. The pretty, bell-shaped flowers 
occur in great profusion toward tops of the shoots, and are a pretty 
rosy color. 
CALYCANTHUS 
Floridus Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Few shrubs are so well known as the Carolina Allspice. In fact, over 
a large part of the United States it is called “Shrub” or “Shrub Bush 
without any other qualification. In some places it is referred to as the 
"'Sweet-scented Shrub,” the ‘Sweet Shrub,’’ or the ‘Strawberry Shrub. 
The handsome, dark red-brown flowers are produced in early spring. 
During the summer, the plant is neat and very handsome, with glossy, 
corrugated foliage. It grows 4 to 5 feet high. 
CARYOPTERIS. (See page 160.) 
CHIONANTHUS 
Virginica 
*Calluna vulgaris 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
One of the most striking of native small trees. Its handsome, oblong 
leaves turn a bright golden yellow in autumn. In June large masses 
of loose panicles of feathery petaled, snow-white flowers make it an 
outstanding garden plant. 
CORYLUS 
Maxima atropurpurea (Purple-Leaved Filbert) 
Each $3.00, Three $8.00, Doz. $32.00 
For a rich display of bronze foliage there is not much better than the 
Purple Leaved Filbert. It is a much branched shrub covered from top 
to bottom with fine, bronze leaves which make a pleasant break in the 
monotony of the green leaves. in the shrubbery border. The richest and 
deepest colors are obtained when it is grown in full sun. It grows well 
in shade but it then loses part of its coloring. Maximum height about 
10 feet. Can be kept any height up to 5 feet with pruning. Hardy 
anywhere! A fine plant for the lawn as a single specimen. 
English Fhawthorns 
(Crataegus Oxyacantha) 
State regulations forbid the sending of Crataegus, Cydonia and Malus 
into Colorado and Utah. 
The English Haw or Hawthorn is a lovely flowering shrub or small tree 
about 15 feet high, with spreading branches and stout spines. The leaves 
are broad, the 3 to 5 lobes much toothed. Its flowers are in. large clusters 
and produced in immense quantities. The fruits are scarlet. They are 
especially well suited for the small garden or as specimens on the lawn 
where a Maple would be too big and create too much shade. 
Paul’s Scarlet English Hawthorn Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
This is a brilliant rosy red, double-flowered variety. One of the choicest 
ornamental trees in existence. Foolproof and hardy; sure blooming. It 
is a joy to see it each spring. ’ 
Crataegus, Crimson Glory Each $4.50, Three $12.50 
This magnificent Hybrid Thorn grows into a medium sized tree about 
15 to 18 feet high. Makes a shapely head and has deep green foli- 
age. In spring it is very attractive with its many big clusters of white 
blooms. But in early autumn it really is a sight to behold when the 
immense clusters of giant berries turn a brilliant red. In our opinion 
it is even more spectacular than the well known and popular Moun- 
tain Ash. The fruit remains on the tree well into the winter. A rare, 
beautiful and unusual small tree you will enjoy in your garden for 
many, many years.
