READ CAREFULLY
All of the stock offered is grown on our own grounds, that grown from cuttings and divisions we know to be clean and true. Plants grown from seeds are from seed stocks obtained from the most reliable sources.
OUR PLANTS ARE ALL FIELD GROWN, ARE GIVEN CONSTANT CARE AND CULTIVATION AND WHEN SENT OUT ARE STRONG AND WELL DEVELOPED. MUCH LARGER AND WORTH A GREAT DEAL MORE MONEY THAN POT-GROWN PLANTS.
We do not divide our plants before shipping but send the entire plant as dug. Divid- ing is only done in rare cases and only then because it is necessary to get the best results.
If, after receiving, you are not satisfied with the quality of the stock, let us know and we will replace anything you mention without charge or without question.
TERMS OF PAYMENT
Customers unknown to us will please send cash or references with their order. It is impossible for us to make immediate shipment to new clients who do not send references or cheque with their order. NOT SENDING REFERENCES OR EN- CLOSING CHEQUE CAUSES DELAY IN THE FORWARDING OF THE STOCK YOU ORDER.
GUARANTEES
We guarantee all stock furnished by us to be first-class, true to name, and larger than pot-grown plants, all of a size so as to give immediate results.
However, there are so many causes for failure over which we have no control that we can assume no responsibility after stock is delivered. Poor soil, unfavorable weather, ignorant or careless culture — all contribute to failure and are beyond our control.
QUANTITIES ORDERED
We do not sell less than three plants of a kind unless offered otherwise; twenty-five plants are sold at hundred rate. Five hundred at thousand rate.
RISK
All goods are at purchaser’s risk after they are delivered to the forwarding com- panies and we receive their receipt for the shipment in good condition.
SHIPPING DIRECTIONS
Please give explicit shipping directions, stating whether stock is to be shipped by freight or express, and by what route.
Small shipments can be sent by parcel post. All such shipments will be sent in- sured, insurance and postage to be paid by the customer.

The Vogue of Old-Fashioned Hardy Flowers
ODAY, more than ever before, lovers of flowers everywhere, are seeking for their gardens the better forms of those Old-Fashioned Flowers of Grandmother’s Days, many of which are indige- nous to our soils, while other new and rare types continue to appear from various sources, both here and from foreign countries.
Maintaining our position as leading American growers of Hardy Herbaceous, Alpine and Rock Plants, we here present our 1926 Catalogue of what we believe to be the greatest and most representative collection of these classes ever produced by one single American concern.
Without arrogating to ourselves the credit of having originated many of these Perennial Garden Favorites, we pride ourselves on the magnificent quality and variety of our stock, the excep- tional beauty and rareness of many, of which we are exclusive producers in this country, and lastly in the magnitude of our industry (the largest in this country), amply reflected in our 1925 returns, whereby close to four million plants left our grounds for points all over the U. S. A. and Canada.
With such achievements behind us, we look forward to, and are splendidly prepared to meet even a greater demand in 1926 for our justly famous Wayside Gardens “Quality” Perennials.
[We will gladly give prospective customers references and information about our stocks and growing methods; we can also furnish names cf leading American landscape architects who use our plants.)

ANCHUSA (Alkanet).
For producing a mass effect of brilliant blue, the An- chusas cannot be surpassed. Dropmore, the darkest one, is most effective. Opal has larger flowers and is the best of the tall varieties, producing a solid sheet of soft tur- quoise-blue. They should be treated as biennials, as the old plants exhaust themselves at the end of two or three years. They reproduce themselves, however, from self- sown seed. The blooming season can be extended for several weeks by cutting the spikes as soon as the flow- ers fade, thus preventing seeding.
Three Doz. 100 Dropmore. Tall spikes of beautiful blue flowers, flowering all Sum- mer. Rough, broad foliage. 4 to
5 feet $0.85 $2.50 $15.00

AQUILEGIA (Columbine).
As a cut flower the Long-Spurred Aquilegias are the daintiest of our outdoor grown flowers. They come in blues, whites and yellows, and shades of pink and rose in strains reasonably true. Practically all the various shades and colors are in the Coerulea Hybrids. They re- main in bloom for a long season and are vigorous and long lived. They are not at all particular as to soil or location, although they prefer a sandy Irani and a moist but well drained, sunny position, and usually make them- selves at home in any hardy border or rockery. Their period of flowering covers the late Spring and early Summer months. Taken as a whole, they are a most important part of the hardy garden, and should be grown in quantity by every lover of old-fashioned gar- den flowers.

HARDY ASTERS (Michaelmas Daisies).
The many species, widely distinct from each other in habit and form, are with a few exceptions, all native of North America. It is in Europe, however, that our Asters have been most highly appreciated. Many improvements have been made by European growers, and many hybrid forms have been produced by crossing the different species.
For the best results, they require division and replanting every third year.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
Hardy Chrysanthemums are undoubtedly one of the best of border plants, coming in with a grand display of color and cut flowers when other plants are on the wane. In our estimation one cannot plant too many. From Sep- tember until frost one can literally gather armfuls from a seemingly inexhaustible supply.
HARDY OLD-FASHIONED VARIETIES Full Field-Grown Clumps — Not Divisions.
We collected from old gardens some of the old-fashioned Chrysanthemums which are really hardy and which bloom in October and November, after all other outdoor flowers are gone. Often in bloom when the snow is on the ground; are very showy. 3 to 4 feet high. When in bloom are a perfect mass of flowers.

CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM (Shasta Daisy).
The improved varieties of Marguerite, all allied to the Shasta Daisy that adorns our fields in the Spring', are among the most useful of our garden flowers. Not only have these flowers been greatly improved in size and form, but there are now early and late blooming varieties which give a succession of long-stemmed flowers so valuable for vase decoration during four months of the year. Glory of Wayside is a variety worthy of atten- tion, and Etoile d’Or is robust and free-flowering. Mrs. C. Lowthian Bell has enormous flowers with strong stems. The Shasta Daisy has a yellow center with long, white petals, the slender stems springing from the base of the plant, and is most attractive either in the perennial border or as a cut flower. Common kinds like Alaska have been discontinued.

DELPHINIUM (Larkspur).
English Delphiniums are the most beautiful hardy plants in cultivation, for they have such an immense variety of beauty and increase in size, in beauty, and often in quantity, year after year. Some varieties grow 8 feet high in rich soil. They have immense spikes of most beautiful flowers of every imaginable shade of blue, and their season is long; in fact, they will bloom from Spring till Fall.
The culture of Delphiniums is exceedingly simple. They thrive in almost any position, and may be planted at any time of the year, provided that in Summer the plants are not too forward, and that they be well watered if the weather is dry. The soil may be a rich, friable loam, which suits them finely; but any soil, even hot and sandy, if well watered and manured, will give excellent results. Placed in lines, as a background to a border, or in groups of, say, three plants at intervals, the effect of the Delphin- ium is exceedingly fine. A succession of flowers may be expected from Spring to early Autumn, especially if the spikes, which have done flowering early, be cut down to the ground; fresh growth will then be produced which will give blossoms. Watering in Summer will increase size of spike and flower. Top-dressing is greatly recommended on certain soils, instead of the bare surface of the ground being left exposed to the sun. Some of the neater dwarf Alpine and other hardy plants may be utilized to plant between and around Delphiniums. Coal ashes strewn over the crowns will protect the plants from slugs through the Winter and Spring. Any garden soil suits the Del- phiniums.

Eximia (Plumy Bleeding Heart). A dwarf-growing sort, with beauti- ful finely cut foliage and showy racemes of pretty pink flowers throughout the season. Too much
cannot be said for this fine border plant as it is equally at home in full shade or sun and perfectly hardy anywhere. Bailey’s “En-
cyclopedia of American Horticul- ture” says in description: “The handsomest foliage of any border plant in the entire collection.”
This variety of Bleeding Heart is the only kind which will replace the Spectabilis which is so hard to get. Will grow in any climate under any conditions.

For stately and picturesque beauty it is not to be sur- passed, and, planted in masses in the garden among shrubs or naturalized on the edge of woods, in the orchards or along brooks, it is extremely effective and satisfactory. It is a biennial, but, as it renews itself from self-sown seed, it may be treated as a perennial.

FERNS (Hardy Varieties).
The cultivation of Hardy Ferns is remarkably simple. All they want is a light alluvial soil, a little loam and peat or leaf-mould sufficient to keep the soil light and open, plenty of moisture, positions varying from partial to deep shade. The Aspleniums and many others will grow on walls, chinks of rocks, etc. Many will revel in full sunshine in any ordinary border. There is scarcely a garden or even a back yard where Ferns cannot be grown successfully. Anyone commencing with a few specimens will soon be induced to go on collecting until he has made a feature both interesting to himself, and also to all who see them. Three Doz. 100

GAILLARDIA (Blanket Flower).
Improved English Strain. We consider the Gaillardia one of the most desirable hardy plants in cultivation, and our strain of these brilliant flowered plants to be the finest extant. Though such an ornamental addition to the herbaceous border, the perennial Gaillardia is con- tent with extremely simple treatment. Dig the soil deep- ly and enrich with well-rotted manure. We recommend the Gaillardia for bedding purposes as well as for borders. Everyone will have noticed how grandly Gaillardias have thriven through droughts; they seem hardly to need water. The gay blossoms are obtainable in perpetual profusion from June to November and the greater the drought and scarcity of other flowers the more the utility of the perennial Gaillardia is demonstrated. No more beautiful and brilliant sight can be imagined than a large bed of Gaillardias, with their profusion of highly colored flowers of all shades. Some of the varieties of our improved strain measure fully 5 inches in diameter.

GRASSES (Hardy Ornamental).
The ornamental grasses can be used with telling effect in borders, large beds, or by the margin of ponds and lakes. They are often used with small shrubs and me- dium sized trees in wide borders. The Eulalias planted singly on lawns where the soil is deep and rich, take care of themselves and grow rapidly into large specimens. In large, round beds, with ornamental grasses as the princi- pal feature, the effect is heightened by the addition of such plants as Cannas or dwarf-flowering plants near the margin.

The Hollyhock is an old garden favorite, full of senti- ment and association with a distant past. It is a plant of strong, vigorous growth and noble aspect, with elegant camellia-like flowers that form perfect rosettes of the most lovely shades of color. They require a deep, rich soil and a sunny corner, but will repay by their gorgeous and lavish bloom all the attention bestowed upon them. Painters choose Hollyhocks as subjects for floral paint- ings oftener than any other flower. We suppose the rea- son for this is that artists have a keener appreciation of beauty than other people, and recognize that the common single Hollyhock is one of the most stately, picturesque and beautiful plants in the world. Nothing can be more effective than a large group of single Hollyhocks, and once planted they will literally take care of themselves even if planted in the grass. We know of patches that have not been cultivated or disturbed in any way for twenty years. Some people think double Hollyhocks are more beautiful than single. They are mistaken, although the doubles are beautiful, but inclined to be topheavy. Hollyhocks planted in the Pall will bloom the following Summer.

IRIS KAEMPFERI (Japanese Iris).
The magnificent Iris Kaempferi belong to the Apogons, and a field of them in bloom is a most gorgeous sight. Seeing them for the first time, one cannot withhold an exclamation of surprise, and having once seen can never forget their striking beauty.
Culture. The secret of success is to keep the ground well stirred, never allowing it to bake or become hard. Any good mellow clay loam will grow Japanese Irises to perfection, if well enriched. They like plenty of moisture during the growing season, but flooding with water is not a necessity, as many suppose. Water standing over the plants for a great length of time in Winter is fatal to them.
Time to Plant. Latter part of August to the beginning of October is the best time. Late plantings should be protected by a light covering of straw or leaves after the ground is permanently frozen, to prevent roots from being heaved out of ground by frost. In northern sections late planting had best be deferred until Spring.

IRIS GERMANICA (German or Flag Iris).
The Iris is one of the finest, if not the finest, of our hardy plants. Not particular as to soil or location, but asking only that the sun shine on it. It throws up spikes of bloom that are marvelous in their delicacy of structure and the colorings which are exquisitely dainty are won- derful in their blendings and variety.
They are very effective planted in groups and if used for borders are particularly desirable in that the foliage remains fresh and upright after the blossom stalks are removed.
Plant in late August or early September preferably. Spring- will do also.
The roots offered in this list are from plants transplanted a year ago and are of a size large enough to bloom next Spring. The collection is up to date and consists of the best and newest standard varieties.
Twenty-five roots at 100 rate, 250 roots of a kind at 1000 rate. We guarantee the usual Wayside Gardens quality. The letter “S” refers to the standards or upright petals; “F” the falls or drooping petals.

LILIES (Hardy Garden Varieties).
Noble and beautiful flowers which are too frequently strangers in American gardens. It is always with a touch of sadness that we note the infrequency of Lilies in American gardens. No flower, it seems to us, is at once so noble and so beautiful. Nor is there lack of va- riety. Furthermore, the Lily is singularly valuable for its charming effect on the skyline of the garden when in bloom.
There is a notion that Lilies are “hard to grow.” Some of the rarer species are, it is true; they not only stub- bornly refuse to make themselves at home in the garden, unless conditions are precisely to their liking, but some of them cannot endure the northern Winter without the necessary covering of litter, which many other tender plants require. Unless one goes in for Lilies to the ex- tent of making a hobby of them, however, these can all be left to the collector and there will be quite enough species remaining to give one a Lily season in the three months’ duration of which loveliness follows loveliness with breaks of only relatively brief length. We say species for the reason that the Lilies in cultivation show an ex- ceptionally low percentage of horticultural varieties. Possibly because Nature made every species perfect to begin with, the hand of the hybridizer has been loath to endeavor to “paint the Lily,” as it were.
The varieties which we offer in these three pages are such as have, with us, withstood the Summer’s drought and the severest of Winters, and have thus proven them- selves worthy of a place in your garden.
Lilium Auratum.
DELIVERY — This depends upon the arrival of the bulbs from our foreign sources. Many get here too late for Autumn planting, thus necessitating carrying over the bulbs until Spring. Those marked (**) thus, should be planted in the Fall only; those marked (*) may be planted in Spring or Fall, preferably the latter; all the others are for Spring delivery.
Each
Auratum (Golden-Banded Japan Lily). Undoubtedly one of the finest. Its large, graceful, fragrant flowers are composed of six petals of a delicate ivory-white color, thickly studded with chocolate- crimson spots and striped through the center a golden yellow; 3 to 5 feet. July to September.

It is delightfully perfumed, remind- ing one of the Jasmine, and lack- ing the heavy, oppressive odor of most Lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early in July.

PAPAVER (Poppy).
Oriental Poppies are the regal representatives of this pop- ular genus, growing 3 to 3% feet high, and far surpassing in splendor of bloom all the annual and biennial kinds, and for a gorgeous display of rich and brilliant coloring noth- ing equals them during their period of flowering in May and June, and whether planted singly or in masses their large flowers and freedom of bloom render them con- spicuous in any position. They are of the easiest cul- ture; almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do best in deep, rich loam. Set the plants out in the Fall or early Spring before the first of May — give them water occasionally during dry spells in the early part of the season. Mulch with stable litter in the Fall; and they will increase in size and floriferousness for several years. We offer the best of the latest introductions, as well as the distinct standard varieties.
Three Doz. 100 Orientale (Oriental Poppy). Tremen- dous scarlet, cup-shaped blooms of brightest crimson-scarlet, with large, purplish black blotches at base of petals, creating a wonder- ful contrast when bloom is fully open. Clumps of these through- out the border add a brilliancy

NEW JAPANESE PEONIES
A type not very generally known, but in every community wherever established is awakening great interest and enthusiasm. The opened flowers are of extra wide spread, with one or more layers of broad guard petals which act as a cup to the mounded center. In place of the pollen- bearing stamens which center the Single Peony flowers, in this class the stamens and anthers are greatly en- larged into narrow, thick, twisted petaloids of various colors, forming a dense cushion.
We heartily recommend our list to those who want some- thing different from the other fellow's; and to Peony planters generally, as types which will add zest and beauty to their gardens.
Orders for the following booked now for September de- livery. Strong

PHLOX.
PHI.OX DECUSSATA (Hardy Phlox).
Perennial Phloxes succeed in almost any soil enriched with manure in Spring, and in hot weather an occasional soaking of water. If the first spikes of bloom are re- moved as soon as over, they will produce a second supply of flowers, continuing the display until late in Autumn. These later blooms are often finer than the first.
(We offer nothing but strong, 2-year-old plants).

PYRETHRUM (Persian or Painted Daisy).
The Pyrethrums are so simply and easily cultivated that they may be recommended to all who possess a garden. They are perfectly hardy and absolutely invaluable for cut flowers through the Summer and early Fall. The flowers are bright and elegantly borne on long stems; most convenient for decoration. In form, the double va- rieties are somewhat aster- or chrysanthemum-like, and as their chief beauty is in the months or May and June, they may well be designated Spring Chrysanthemums, possessing the advantage over the Chrysanthemums of being able to withstand the severest Winter without protection. The single-flowered varieties are variable colored Marguerites and possess a range of color and hardiness that Marguerites might envy in vain. Noth- ing can surpass the Pyrethrum profusion of flowers throughout the entire Summer from May to July, and the blossoms are not injured by storm or sun. As a cut flower, their long stems make them ideal for decorative purposes. Their position should be in the border or in beds.

VIOLA (Tufted Pansy).
This is the best edging plant for the hardy border or garden ; when properly cared for, these plants remain in full bloom from May until October. The great secret of their continuous bloom, though, is the fact that they must be sheared several times during the season, so that the flowers do not go to seed.

CLIMBING PLANTS AND VINES
AMPELOPSIS (Ivy).
Veitchi (Boston Ivy or Japan Ivy). The most popular climbing plant for covering brick walls, stone or wooden walls, trees, etc. When it becomes established it is of very rapid growth, and clings to the smoothest surface with the tenacity of Ivy. The foliage is of a rich olive-green during the Sum- mer, changing to various shades of bright crimson and scarlet in the Fall. In planting Ampelopsis of all kinds, the plants, if still in a dormant condition, should be cut down to w'ithin 6 inches of the ground, so that the new growth may cling to the wall or tree from the bottom up.

The trailing Euonymus are particularly desirable for their dense, evergreen foliage and extreme hardiness, some varieties on account of this taking the place of the English Ivy for wall covering, others that of the box- wood as an edging plant. Makes a splendid ground cover, and one of the best creepers for rockeries.

Radicans vegetus (Evergreen Bitter- sweet). A strong growing variety, with larger leaves than the type, and producing bright orange-red berries, which remain on the plant the greater part of the Win- ter. As an evergreen, absolutely hardy wall cover, this plant is unequalled. An enthusiastic hor- ticultural writer predicts that it will become as popular for this purpose here as the Ivy is in Eng- land. Extra strong 1.70

BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING
In order to complete our service in furnishing hardy material for gardens, we are herewith offering an excellent selection of Imported Dutch Bulbs. Varieties most suitable for forcing are indicated by a star (*).
We are doing this upon request of our customers who have been most insistent in their demand that we furnish them with bulbs of the same high quality as the plants we send out. We are able to give this service due to the fact that our secretary and treasurer, Mr. J. J. Grullemans is a son of the owner of the firm of J. J. Grullemans & Sons, Lisse, Holland, who are the second largest bulb growers in the world.

NARCISSI FOR NATURALIZING
Naturalizing Daffodils, meaning planting them scattered irregularly in quantity, is a rare pleasure. They "bring sunshine into shady places’’ most delightfully. A lightly wooded bank or open meadow, covered with these golden flowers is a charming sight, as is a grove of white birches carpeted with them. A fairly good rule to follow is, the paler the Daffodil the more it enjoys the shade.
All varieties mixed, $40.00 per case of thousand extra heavy bulbs.
$375.00 per ten thousand bulbs.
Not less than 250 bulbs sold for $10.00; 500 at $20.00.

Planting Table for Plants and Bulbs
PLANTING. The table below shows the number of plants or bulbs required to fill a circular bed of the dimensions given. In planting begin at outside row — where 6 inches apart. 3 inches from edge of bed; where 12 inches apart, 6 inches from edge of bed. It is customary among professionals in planting a bed to set the plants or bulbs somewhat closer together in the two outer rows, giving more space between each plant or bulb toward the center of the bed.

A square bed will take about the same number of plants. For an oval bed, add length and breadth and divide by two. For example, an oval 9 feet long by 7 feet wide will require same number of plants as circular bed 8 feet in diameter.

Special Announcement to Garden Clubs
DURING the past summer we have secured about two hundred colored lantern slides of the most popular hardy perennials for both border and rock gardens. While this does not embrace every class offered in our catalog, yet we hope to add to the col- lection so that by next year we will have a complete collection of slides showing the plants under actual growing conditions in our nursery.
Further, we are prepared to make arrangements with Mr. Ship- man, of Willoughby, Ohio, who is a very keen naturalist and a wonderful photographer to show his collections of colored slides of birds and bird life and also wild flowers. Incidentally, we are in- debted to Mr. Shipman for helping us in tinting our slides.
Garden Clubs interested in having these very instructive col- ored slides shown should write us for further information and con- ditions under which they may be obtained.
The plants offered below are all strong roots, and will make an abundant growth the first season.
Frice, except where noted, 25c each; $2.50 per 12; $18.00 per 100.
ASPARAGUS ROOTS, Colossal and Falmetto. 2-year, $1.50 per 100; $10.00 per 1000. 3-year, $2.50 per 100; $15.00 per 1000.

IMPORTANT
Last season we were very unfortunate in receiving seed of Sweet Williams which was not true to color. This we were not able to know until the plants bloomed.
If every customer who ordered Sweet Williams will let us know how many plants they bought from us which did not flower true to color, we will replace them without charge either this fall or in the spring of 1926.
