Why You Tale NG ae 
On Any of Wayside’s New Varieties 
E believe in new varieties. Much of the pleasure 
and pride in gardening would be lost without 
novelties and new varieties. But after the hybrid- 
izer has developed these new flowers in his “labora- 
tory” it usually remains to be seen whether they can 
be grown successfully by average gardeners under 
average conditions. Wayside 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 recom- 
mendations. Listed below are some of the new fine 
plants of recent years that can add beauty and in- 
terest to your garden. You take no gamble on any of 
them. Wayside’s recommendation is back of them.

NEW PHLOX 
Sir John Falstaff (Page 69) 
New giant Phlox for breathless loveliness and unquestionable 
superiority. Rich, luminous, salmon-pink flowers form majestic 
bouquet-like heads of bloom on strong, stalwart stems. Robust 
and vigorous, this variety attains a height of 24 to 36 inches. 
White Admiral (Page 71) 
Beautiful big heads of bloom like great mounds of snow. Here 
is a brand-new white Phlox guaranteed to bring more beauty to 
your garden. It produces enormous pure white heads and the 
continually breaking side branches give an excellent late bloom. 
Reaches a height of 2 to 2% ft. and blooms profusely in July 
and August. It is delightfully fragrant. 
Mies Copyn (Page 71) 
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 
Wirral Pride (Page 31) 
A fine, vigorously growing and very profusely flowering Shasta 
Daisy from England. Flowers are usually 3 to 4 inches in di- 
ameter, heavily crested with short white petals in the center which 
produce a fine double effect. It has given excellent results here 
in Mentor and we recommend it without reservation. 
Mark Riegel (Page 31) 
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 42) U. S. Plant Patent 1198 
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 in early 
May and the flowers continue profusely until frost. Perfectly hardy, 
does well in any well drained soil and prefers sun to shade. 
The originator of these wonderful fragrant Pansies (not to 
be confused with Violets) writes us as follows: 
Three generations of the Read family have devoted unlimited 
time and patience to the perfecting of this lovely fragrant strain 
of Pansies. For over 60 years they have never been grown out- 
side of the family garden. The present generation of Reads

NEW BRILLIANTLY COLORED HARDY ASTERS 
FOR AUTUMN BLOOM 
From over six thousand seedlings during a four-year period, we 
have selected a dozen of the best. It was a big and costly job but 
the results well justify all the effort that has gone into this task. 
Twelve varieties are being offered this spring. 
This fine lot of varieties unquestionably replaces all the older 
ones. Their colors are cheerful and clear, devoid of any purplish 
Overtones. The flowers are produced in a most prolific manner. 
They are of medium height, hardy and of easiest culture. Planted 
along with Mums, they create a beautiful picture. Mixed through 
the border, they provide a splash of color towards the end of the 
summer that cannot be equalled. 
Variety list consists of the following: (Pages 18 and 19).

PHLOX STOLONIFERA, Blue Ridge (Page 72) 
This creeping Phlox came to us from England a few years ago. 
It has been carefully tested for habit and winter hardiness at 
Mentor and we find it perfect in that respect as well as outstand- 
ingly beautiful. It creeps over the ground but sends up upright 
stems about 3 or 4 inches tall which carry on top a cluster of the 
handsomest blue flowers you have ever seen, and a shade which 
cannot be reproduced accurately by printer’s ink. Here is a choice 
small plant for shady places in border foreground or rock garden. 
ANTHEMIS GRALLAGH GOLD (Page 15) 
Introduced in Europe three years ago, it has become one of the 
most popular border plants. It forms a huge bouquet of several 
hundreds of golden flowers. Grows 2 ft. high and 2 ft. through. 
It is an ideal border plant and par excellence for cutting. It is 
perhaps as a cut flower that Grallagh Gold will appeal. The flow- 
ers are borne on stiff wire-like stems and last over three weeks 
when cut. It is in full bloom from early June till September. Abso- 
lutely hardy anywhere. Loves sun and a well drained soil. 
RARE VINE 
HYDRANGEA PETIOLARIS, Climbing Hydrangea 
(Page 121) 
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. 
now feel they should be distributed and enjoyed by others. 
The Reads are an old family of nurserymen in England and 
only recently introduced the Shasta Daisy, Esther Read. The 
packets will contain approximately 200 seeds and are priced 
at $1.00 each.
