Peony- Flowered Culips

thankful for a little shading against hot midday sun which will help 
them to carry their heavy Peony-like blossoms erect.

Lily- lowering Culips 
The Tulips offered under this heading have been kept by them- 
selves because of their distinct Lily-like flowers. They really belong 
with the Cottage Tulips but would be lost or difficult to find if offered 
in that already quite large group. 
Lily-flowered Tulips bloom the same time as the Cottage Tulips, 
| and are best used where a light, airy, and graceful effect is desired. 
The delicately curved petals give a delightful effect. As a flower for 
cutting, it surpasses the regular Tulip because they are so much more 
graceful. Don’t miss planting a few this year. The best varieties in 
existence are offered here.

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. Much of 
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.
