CYDONIA (Chaenomeles) 
One of the first shrubs to bloom in spring. Their brilliant flowers and 
shiny foliage place them among the No. 1 plants for the spring garden. 
They may be allowed to grow into specimen plants or trimmed into hedges. 
Ultimate height about 5 to 6 feet. We offer here a collection of new hybrids 
not yet known in this country. These varieties are outstanding. The size 
of their blooms as well as the quantity in which they are produced is almost 
unbelievable. 
Aurea Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Many shrubs flower in May and June, but few can surpass the beauty of 
this lovely dwarf Quince. It is completely covered with rose suffused 
salmon-tinted yellow flowers from March to May. It is particularly fine 
for dwarf hedges in its natural form, or it can be clipped if a formal 
hedge is desired. Growing less than 3 feet high, it is no problem to keep 
it in form. It makes a perfect picture in front of taller shrubs and looks 
well in the flower border along with Tulips and other spring flowers. 
Kermesina Semi-Piena Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00

tities early in spring. A very attractive early flowering double Quince

well with the dark green foliage. A very handsome flower for cutting 
as well as*a fine early flowering shrub for the border. 
Three New Hybrid Cydonias 
The beautiful hybrid Cydonias offered under this heading are great im- 
provements and, as soon as they become more plentiful and better known, 
will be universally grown. Our stock is decidedly limited. We, therefore, 
urge you to send for yours at once and be one of the first to have them 
in your own garden. 
Stanford Red Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
This new hybrid we believe to be the finest red hardy Quince in cultiva- 
tion. The flowers are extraordinarily large, open Geranium-red and 
deepen to an intense blood-red of great strength and carrying power. 
It is excellent for cutting, the flowers lasting a long time and in addi- 
tion, it’s almost thornless. A beautiful shrub to grow with white Tulips.

to bloom. 
Coral Sea Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
One of the loveliest spring flowering shrubs. The soft buff-coral blooms 
cover the slender branches through what seems two distinct blooming 
seasons in spring. This prolonged flowering makes Coral Sea a very 
valuable variety. It not only is delightful in the garden but you will 
value it highly as a cut flower, its color blending beautifully with other 
spring flowers. You will surely want this. We offer 3- to 4-foot plants, 
ready to bloom. 
Juliet Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00

of this so recent introduction. Cheerful outdoors and superb for cutting.

becomes known and _ plants are available. Combines beautifully with 
lavender and yellow Tulips, or other spring flowers. We offer 3- to 4- 
foot plants that will flower this year. 
ZAG, 

D aphne 
Daphnes are lovely, fragrant plants and the two varieties offered give 
bloom from very early spring to May and, occasionally, through the summer. 
Both are of delicious fragrance and dainty, compelling beauty. They are 
hardy with little protection except in the coldest sections of the country. 
Culture. They prefer a sunny position in well drained, sandy soil. In order 
to keep the evergreen foliage perfect, protect it with a little straw during 
the coldest part of the winter. The plants will withstand temperatures as 
low as 10 below zero. Water sparingly in summer. Daphnes will not grow 
well in cold, poorly drained soil. 
*Cneorum 
These shrubs are of spreading habit and do not grow over 8 to 12 
inches high; producing delicately perfumed rose-pink blossoms. The 
flowers completely cover the plant not only in spring but again in early 
autumn. As an edging plant in front of evergreens or shrubs, it is 
unequalled. It also forms a splendid low hedge along garden walks and 
around flower beds.

New Hardy Daphne 
(( Dy, 
Mart. 
(Plant Patent No. 315) 
This deliciously fragrant and easy to grow Hybrid Daphne originated in 
England a few years ago. It has received the highest honors from The 
Royal Horticultural Society of Great Britain. When first shown in London, 
England, it was one of the highlights of the show. It has been on test at 
Wayside Gardens for eight years, and has successfully wintered without pro- 
tection all kinds of weather that occurred during those several years 
During May and early June the plants are covered with delightfully 
scented blush-pink, star-shaped flowers in clusters 6 to 8 inches long. The 
fragrance is not unlike that of 
reps Cneorum or Viburnum Car- 
esi. 
The foliage is rich dark green, 
giving the plants the appearance of 
Boxwood. It remains green in north- 
ern Ohio until the beginning of 
March when the new leaves push 
the old ones off the branches. In 
those sections of the country where 
temperatures are moderate, Daphne 
Somerset is evergreen. 
Left unclipped it grows about 5 
feet high and 4 feet wide. 
It is a lovely low shrub for in front 
of the shrub border and blends hap- 
pily with hardy plants in the flower 
border as well as with other ever- 
greens. 
_ Visitors to our nursery, profes- 
sional as well as amateur, all have 
admired it. Mr. F. F. Rockwell; gar- 
den expert and writer of many horti- 
cultural books and articles, re- 
marked when he saw it in bloom 
this spring: ‘Here is one of those 
rare things that happens once every 
25 years or so.’ It is a choice plant 
with a great future.
