Cydonia- lowering Onince 
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 te 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 is 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. 
Charming Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
Large flowers of soft shell-pink deepening towards the ends of the petals. 
A nice orderly shrub which produces a mass of color early in the spring. 
When fully grown it will be about 6 feet tall. We offer plants about 
3 feet tall, ready to bloom. 
Coral Beauty Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
its lovely coral blooms are a real treat to behold. Exceedingly free 
blooming; it makes a grand show in the spring and provides a fine back- 
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 
This fine flowering Quince originated in England and is a choice low 
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 
well with the dark green foliage. A very handsome flower for cutting 
as well as a fine early flowering shrub for the border. 
Stanford Red Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
This new hybrid we believe to be the finest red hardy Quince in cultiva- 
tion. The flowers are extraordinarily large, open geranium-red and 
deepen to an intense blood-red of great strength and carrying power. 
It is excellent for cutting, the flowers lasting a long time and in_addi- 
tion, it’s almost thornless. A beautiful shrub to grow with white Tulips. 
a “must” for your garden. We offer plants about 3 feet tall, ready to 
oom. 
CALLICARPA - Violet Jewel Berry 
Purpurea Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Gracefully recurving branches, covered in August with thousands of 
closely set, small pink tinted flowers. These are followed in late 
September by masses of violet-purple berries which last until mid- 
winter. There are few shrubs which give as much pleasure in the garden 
or which are so satisfactory for cutling. Ultimate height about five 
feet. We offer nice plants that will bear fruit at once. 
CYTISUS 
Battandieri Each $4.50, Three $12.50, Doz. $45.00 
A very fine, little-known shrub from North Africa. It is outstanding for 
its handsome foliage as well as its golden flowers. The leaves, green on 
top and silvery below, make the plant conspicuous throughout the sum- 
mer months. In late May and June, brilliant golden yellow Lupine-like 
flowers in tight clusters, shaped not unlike a Lilac bloom, cover the plant. 
In addition to their golden color, they have a delightful pineapple-like 
fragrance. Best grown in a warm, sunny, dry location. Most any soil 
will do as long as it is well drained. It has grown luxuriantly in Mentor 
and flowered beautifully and survived winter temperatures down to zero. 
Ultimate height, we think, will be about 7 to 8 feet. Can be pruned to 
any height desired. 
Praecox (Warminster Broom) Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
One of the most beautiful of all May-flowering shrubs. Grows about 
4 to 5 feet high. The twiggy evergreen branches are pendulent and 
in May are hidden under a mass of sulphur-yellow pea-shaped blooms. 
The effect created by this shrub when in bloom is most unusual and will 
be one of the highlights in your selection. Our original stock plants came 
from the Arnold Arboretum in Boston where year after year they con- 
tinue to make a grand display. This is no new shrub but one not easily 
propagated in the nursery. Therefore, it is not generally offered. We 
send you 3-year plants that already have flowered in 5- or 6-in. pots. 
Pot plants invariably establish at once and this is the best way to 
transplant them.

Abeliophyllum 
Weenies (White Forsythia) 
The popularity of early flowering 
shrubs has greatly increased during re- 
cent years, and they give us a fore- 
taste of the glories of spring. A welcome addition to those 
that brighten the dull days of February and March is the 
recently discovered Abeliophyllum distichum. It is a native 
of Central Korea where it was found in 1919, but was not 
introduced to England until 1932. 
\t is quite hardy and an excellent deciduous shrub for the 
small garden, seldom reaching more than 3 feet in height, and 
despite its strong growth, a compact grower. The branches 
tend to arch over when the leaves appear. The deep purple 
flower buds are produced in autumn. In a mild climate 
they cpen in February and transform the bush into a mass 
of white blossoms similar to that of the Forsythias. The 
flowers are actually pale pink when they open but soon fade 
to white. It needs a background of evergreens to be seen 
at its best, and although its flowers will stand some frost, 
avoid exposure to cold winds. This should be borne in mind 
when planting. 
We have only a-limited supply available of this rare shrub. 
Each $8.00 
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. 
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. 
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 
grect 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.
