About ten years ago a fascinating purple or maroon leaved Norway 
Maple tree was sent to America from Europe. It created the same sen- 
sation over here as it did in Europe. Several specimens were propagated 
and planted along the East Coast as well as on the Pacific Coast for 
observation. The results have been most gratifying. It proved perfectly 
hardy and happy where Maples grew and it retained its magnificent leaf

Erect growing shrubs of stately and formal shape, particularly well suited 
for screens or specimens in the shrub border. They bloom from July to frost 
and give color when most other shrubs have finished blooming. We offer 
three beautiful varieties of recent introduction, practically unknown, and 
in our estimation the three best. Their ultimate height is about 10 feet.

ception. Its flowers are large, open wide and are superb.

flowering shrubs. It is covered from August till autumn frost with 
numerous clusters of powdery blue, fringed flowers. This shrub grows 
about 18 to 24 inches tall and is perfectly rounded, making a 
small mound about 2 feet in diameter. The foliage is lanceloate and 
slightly toothed and silvery green in color. A truly worth-while plant 
will be universally grown. Our stock is decidedly limited. We, therefore, urge

your own garden. 
Aurea Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00

salmon-tinted yellow flowers from March te 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

well in the flower border along with Tulips and other spring flowers.

growing plant. Eight-year-old specimens in our nursery are about 16 
inches high and 18 inches across. It forms a small mound which in 
early spring is completely covered with big vermilion-red flowers. An 
ideal variety for planting in front of the shrub border or foundation

tion. The flowers are extraordinarily large, open geranium-red and 
deepen to an intense blood-red of great strength and carrying power.

tion, it’s almost thornless. A beautiful shrub to grow with white Tulips.

Heavenly Blue Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
(Plant Patent No. 1091) 
A delightfully deep blue colored autumn flowering shrub. It is the dark 
blue form of Caryopteris Blue Mist which Wayside Gardens introduced 
several years ago. Heavenly Blue is our own crigination; the result of CLETHRA ALNIFOLIA ROSEA 
crosses and selections made at Mentor. 
Heavenly Blue is upright in growth. When mature, it is about 15 
to 18 inches in diameter and 18 to 24 inches tall. One shrub will 
produce 30 or more beautiful deep blue flower spikes, a color which 
we all know is quite rare at any time and particularly so in the autumn 
garden. It does best in a light soil; in fact, the sandier the better, 
and must be grown in full sun. It comes to perfection in a warm, dry, 
sunny. spot. We consider this new shrub one of the finest things avail- 
able for rich autumn color. 
For this season, only plants in pots are available. These will produce 
almost as many flowers as a field-grown plant and will reach the same

grows naturally throughout eastern United States, and is one of the 
chief adornments of the early spring landscape. Before the leaves come 
out, the branchlets are covered with clusters of small, purplish pink, 
Pea blossoms, very charming when associated with the Red Cedar and 
the Dogwoods. 
The Pepper Bush is a compact neat plant of many slender, upright 
branches rarely over four to five feet high. Each branch is topped 
with finger-like clusters -of small deliciously scented pink flowers. 
To many people, the fragrance is reminiscent of pepper; hence, its 
name. This is a very fine and useful shrub, especially for low moist 
places or damp woodland conditions. It grows equally well in full sun 
or shade. Here is the rare pink form of the much loved white 
Pepper Bush, giving bloom when most needed in late summer and 
early autumn with fine dark green foliage to boot.
