Clematis Mandschurica 
CLEMATIS, Non-Climbing Varieties 
Here we deal only with the herbaceous species, the stems of which die 
down in autumn, and that are of a bushy and non-climbing habit. Those 
offered are suitable for the mixed border, and make a very effective dis- 
play when in flower. 
Culture. They prefer a chalky, well drained loam. Where this is not 
available, mix plenty of lime with the soil. Plant in autumn or spring. In 
autumn cut the stems back to the soil, and give a good mulching of well- 
decayed manure. 
Davidiana, Azure Each $1.25, Three $3.35, Doz. $11.00 
A fine hybrid of this worth-while border plant. Deep blue flowers 
in great profusion, sweetly scented, Hardy as an Oak, no insect pests, 
does well on any soil. Easily one of the best of summer-flowering border 
plants. Height about 24 to 30 inches. Unusually good in shade. 
Mandschurica Each 95c, Three, $2.50, Doz. $8.00 
Here we have an exceptionally good plant for cutting. When established 
this variety will send up in July spikes about 3 feet high which are 
superb for cutting. The white, fragrant flowers are loosely spaced on 
wiry branches and mix nicely with other cut flowers. In the hardy border 
it grows into a large, graceful clump that blends well with other plants. 
It is an iron-clad plant. Nothing bothers it and it will withstand the 
lowest temperatures encountered in this country. 
COREOPSIS - Tickseed 
A useful and attractive herbaceous perennial, both for border and cut 
flowers. They are of easy culture, and produce their golden yellow flowers 
in profusion throughout the summer. 
Culture. All require a well-drained, medium soil. They also need a full, 
sunny position. Plant in autumn or early spring, 10 to 12 inches apart. 
Grandiflora Three $1.60, Doz. $5.00 
An improved variety with large bright yellow flowers; one of the best

A most profuse flowering hardy Cyclamen. The small, deep rose, deli- 
cately sweet scented flowers are produced in early autumn or late sum- 
mer literally by the hundreds; a rare bulbous plant for the rockery or 
shady place in front of the border. 
CYPRIPEDIUM - Lady’s Slipper 
Hardy Orchids that thrive in a moist, peaty soil in shade or partial shade. 
Flowers are very interesting with their odd shapes and uncommon colors 
and markings. 
Culture. It is required for best results that they be planted in shade 
in peaty soil, such as one finds in woods or swamps. Should be carefully 
watered during dry weather. Do well along streams or small ponds in the 
rock garden. Plant in fall or early spring, 6 to 8 inches apart. Do not 
disturb, once planted.

DIANTHUS BARBATUS - Sweet William 
This charming old favorite has been in cultivation for some three cen- 
turies. Strictly speaking, it is a biennial, but on well-drained soils it is 
perennial in character. There are single and double forms of it, but the 
former are the hardier and more easily grown of the two. 
Culture. Sweet Williams will succeed in good, ordinary rich soil in masses 
in the mixed, sunny border. Plant in autumn or early spring, 8 to 12 
inches apart.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT—As Well as For Your Flowers 
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 sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage and an abun- 
dance 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. Turn to page 195 and get the full facts about it.
