Why You Cake CNo Gamble 
On Any of Wayside’s New Varieties 
E believe in new varieties. Much of the pleasure and pride in 
W gardening would be lost without novelties and new varieties. 
But after the hybridizer has developed these new flowers in 
his “‘laboratory’’ it usually remains to be seen whether they can be 
jrown successfully by average gardeners under average conditions. 
Nayside is offered hundreds of new varieties every year. We give 
them all a two-year field test. Frankly most of these new things 
prove of no particular merit. The few that prove good and genuine 
additions we then pass on with our recommendations, Listed below 
are some of the new fine plants of recent years that can add beauty 
and interest to your garden. You take no gamble on any of them. 
Wayside’s recommendation is back of them. 
CNew ano Lovely Perennials 
NEW PHLOX 
John Falstaff (Page 66) 
New giant Phlox for breathless loveliness and unquestionable 
yeriority. Rich, luminous, salmon-pink flowers form majestic 
iquet-like heads of bloom on strong, stalwart stems. Robust 
id vigorous, this variety attains a height of 24 to 36 inches. 
White Admiral (Page 66) 
Beautiful big heads of bloom like great mounds of snow. Here 
a brand-new white Phlox guaranteed to bring more beauty to 
ur garden. It produces enormous pure white heads and the 
ntinually breaking side branches give an excellent late bloom. 
eaches a height of 2 to 2% ft. and blooms profusely in July 
snd August. It is delightfully fragrant. 
Mies Copyn (Page 66) 
A beautiful pure clear pink Phlox with carmine eye that pro- 
duces massive trusses of flowers throughout the summer season. 
It has an excellent erect habit of growth and will be a delightful 
asset to any garden and will make a very splashing effect on the 
landscape. This is a variety we can heartily recommend. It is a 
recent introduction from Holland. 
SHASTA DAISY 
Aglaya (Page 30) 
A magnificent, large, fluffy, fully double Shasta Daisy whose 
glistening narrow white petals produce a fluffy, pompadour-like 
flower. After the main crop of blooms, this hardiest of all double 
Shastas continues to bring forth flowers throughout the entire 
sesaon. Long lasting flowers are superb for indoor arrangements. 
Mark Riegel (Page 30) 
With the introduction of Mark Riegel Daisy, we move another 
step forward. First of all, its flowers have a distinct form. The 
broad, glistening white petals which overlap, come in a double row, 
are long and curve slightly at the tips. The center of the flower 
is very small and soft canary-yellow. Stems are thin and rigid and 
about 2 to 3 feet long. As many as 15 to 20 flowers to a plant 
at one time. Flowers frequently measure 4 to 5 inches across and 
will last longer than any other Daisy we have ever grown. 
The plants are compact, forming a tight neat clump with long 
ornamental dark green foliage. It is the hardiest of the new 
Daisies and we consider it tops in every respect. 
DICENTRA HYBRID 
Bountiful (Page 39) 
This is a remarkable Hybrid resembling in a robust way the 
Plumy Bleeding Heart (D. Eximia) but vastly superior. It forms 
a clump fully 18 inches in diameter of handsome dark blue-green 
foliage about 10 inches high. The flowers appear early in May 
and as many as 30 to 40 flower stems can be counted on a 2-year 
established plant. Stalks are about 18 to 20 inches tall and 
topped with fuchsia-red flowers which are about double the size of 
the common Plumy Bleeding Heart. It comes into bloom before 
D. Eximia and the flowers last well into July. Perfectly hardy, 
does well in any well drained soil and prefers sun to shade.

NEW ENGLISH HARDY HYBRID RUBELLUM 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS (Page 30) 
At the Chrysanthemum Trials held by the Royal Horticultural 
Society in September, 1949, these beautiful varieties were honored 
with the Award of Merit. They are of particularly neat habit, each 
plant forming a symmetrical bush, which, when in full bloom—with 
its masses of flowers—appears as a delightful bouquet often 3 
feet or more across. They are perfectly hardy and good perennials, 
ideal for border, bedding and cutting—a bunch of Duchess of Ed- 
inburgh remained in perfect condition in our office for over 3 
weeks when cut last September. 
Their complete hardiness is repeatedly stressed. Their perennial 
character is established. They are permanent plants and will con- 
tinue to add color and beauty to your garden year after year. Last 
but not least, they do exceptionally well in such locations where 
there is little shade and it is difficult to grow other flowers. 
HEMEROCALILIS - Day Lilies 
New Varieties in a Thrilling Range of Colors (Page 47) - 
A new family of hybrids that cannot be equalled for beauty, 
color and hardiness. Huge, showy, pleasingly fragrant flowers in a 
multitude of shades from soft, glowing amber to fiery coppery red. 
Careful selection of varieties will provide flowers in abundance 
from June until September. Day Lilies will flourish without care. 
Hyperion (Page 45) 
Exhibition variety that has proved its excellence in gardens all 
over America for the past 20 years. This delicately scented, citron- 
yellow beauty blooms profusely from July through August. Large, 
Hie baie flowers; the biggest and best of all the Lemon 
ilies. 
RARE VINE 
HYDRANGEA PETIOLARIS, Climbing Hydrangea 
(Page 139) 
While not new, this rare plant has been very scarce until now. 
Undoubtedly the finest vine ever offered anywhere, it grows well 
on brick or wooden walls, old trees or stumps without support. Rich, 
dark green foliage is bold, clean and shrublike. Short spur branch- 
es are topped with gleaming white, fragrant, Hydrangea-like 
blooms throughout the summer. Extremely hardy, grows well in 
shade or sun. This vine in your garden will make your friends 
and neighbors jealous. 
SEDUM SPATHULIFOLIUM 
Capablanca (Page 74) 
This variety is one of the nicest of Sedums and recently came to 
us from England. Low growing and slowly spreading, its blue-green 
rosette-like leaf clusters create a fine effect. During May and early 
June, the plants are covered with bright yellow flowers. A fine and 
orderly variety.
