NORWAY MAPLE, “CRIMSON KING” 
Acer Platanoides Schwedleri Nigra 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 735) 
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 
color throughout the entire summer. The effect is not unlike that of the 
Copper Beech, but in addition, the tips of the branches and the young 
foliage are of a lighter shade and glisten brilliantly in the sun. One 
would think the tree was in bloom. 
Here truly is a rare thing in trees; a superb plant for lawn small or 
large, street trees or specimen for contrast among other trees. Unfor- 
tunately not many big trees are available so we decided to offer our 
customers what is known as a ‘‘whip.’’ This is a two-year grafted single 
stem tree about 6 to 7 feet tall without side branches. When this ‘’whip’’ 
is planted in the nursery it immediately starts to grow branches. It will 
do so, for you, in your garden. In two years time you will have a fast 
growing, vigorcus young tree which makes it possible for you to enjoy 
this beautiful novelty two years sooner. Our supply is limited and will 
be for several years to come. Order promptly and you will possess one 
of the finest trees you ever owned.

ALTHEA; HIBISCUS - Rose of Sharon 
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 aive color when most other shrubs have finished blooming. We offer 
four beautiful varieties of recent introduction, practically unknown, and 
in our estimation the four best. Their ultimate height is about 10 feet. 
Celestial Blue Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
A magnificent, distinct and truly blue Althea. The gorgeous single 
disc-like blue flowers are produced in large amounts. Planted with our 
white variety, Snowdrift, it makes a most handsome color effect in the 
summer border. Piants we send out will bloom this year. 
Hamabo Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This most interesting cheerfully colored Althea is not new but prac- 
tically unknown in this country. It is a great favorite in Europe and 
we can quite understand why. For several years we have tested it at 
Wayside and found it as hardy as any of the others. But it is so arrest- 
ing that everyone visiting us has wanted a plant of it. Flowers are 
white and red, charmingly colored, brilliant and gay, and contrast 
beautifully with the dark green foliage. Here is a real contribution to 
the summer flowering shrubs. The plants we send you will flower only 
a few months after planting. 
Woodbridge Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
This is an improvement over Rubis. Produces very large, wide-open, 
flaring flowers of a fine, clear rose-pink color. The best and most bril- 
liant of the pink Altheas. Its freedom of bloom is outstanding. 
W. R. Smith Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
Large, disclike, pure white flowers which open flat and are produced in 
great numbers from early July until frost. Most white Althea blooms do 
not open fully and therefore are not showy. W. R. Smith is the one ex- 
ception. Its flowers cre large, open wide and are superb. 
Caryopteris- Hardy Blue Spirea 
Blue Mist Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
(Mastacanthus x Mongolica.) This charming low growing shrub 
is a very real contribution to the meager list of summer and fall 
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 
for the flower border as well as for in front of the shrubbery 
border. Perfectly hardy and particularly valuable because it is one 
of the latest flowering shrubs. 
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 
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. 
Heavenly Blue 
Cydonia- lowering Onince 
(State regulations forbid the shipment of Cydonia, Crataegus and 
Malus into the states of Colorado and Utah.) 
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 tc 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. 
SPITFIRE - NEW UPRIGHT CYDONIA 
(Plant Patent No. 830) 
Perfect for Hedges and Single Specimens 
Here is a fine, early flowering shrub with excellent habit. It grows up- 
right to a height of about 6 to 7 feet when mature. It may be held 
down to 4 or 5 feet if you wish by simply topping it once or at the most 
twice a year; side pruning !s not necessary. The flowers are large and 
deepest crimson-red. The upright stems are covered with them from the 
ground up. You can well imagine what a brilliant effect is made when 
Spitfire Cydonia is used for a hedge. The plants are not more than 2 feet 
across when mature so that it is an excellent subject to use as a single 
specimen as well as in shrub plantings where space is limited. No flower 
buds have ever been killed nor has there been any damage from frost to 
the wood in temperatures as low as 15 degrees below zero. We have had 
this plant under test for ten years and think it is a fine addition to flow- 
ering shrubs that may be successfully used for hedging as well as speci- 
men planting. We offer plants about 3 feet tall, ready to bloom. 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
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. 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Aurea 
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 tc May. lt 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. 
Charming Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
Large flowers of soft shell-pink deepening towards the ends of the petals.

ground for Tulips or other spring bulbs. As a cut flower you will find 
it also most desirable. The plants we send are about 3 feet tall and 
ready to bloom. 
Knaphill Scarlet Each $4.50, Three $12.50, Doz. $45.00

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 
plantings; it may also be used for low edgings. Knaphill Scarlet will 
unquestionably become as great a favorite here as it is in Europe. We 
offer nice bushy specimens about 12 to 15 inches high. 
Nivalis Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
This is the best pure white Quince. The sparkling white flowers contrast

as well as a fine early flowering shrub for the border.

tion. The flowers are extraordinarily large, open geranium-red and

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

and twig is covered with thousands of bright purple blossoms almost 
double the size of the common variety and. noticeably darker. You will 
want this in your garden surely. Ultimate height from 6 to 8 feet. 
CLETHRA ALNIFOLIA ROSEA 
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.
