AND ONE HUNDRED OTHER SORTS 



American "Everbloomin^'' Hydrangea 



Botanlcally, Hydrangea Arborescens Sterllls 



Called also "Snowball Hydrangea," "Hills of Snow," "Grandiflora 

 Alba," etc. We use the name under which it has been known in one consider- 

 able locality for flfteen years, as both descriptive and appropriate : 



American *' Everblooming^ *' Hydrang^ea 



This is believed to be the most beautiful hardy flowering shrub 

 Introduced during the last twenty years. It was found growing wild 

 on the rocky hlTls of Western Pennsylvania several years ago, and 

 flnally was Introduced Into Central Ohio by Mrs. Mary Kelley when 

 she removed from Pittsburg many years ago. From this Introduc- 

 tion numerous plants have been grown and planted In that locality, 

 so that many plants are now growing, three to eight years old, and 

 blooming profusely from early June till toward Autumn frosts. 



The old and well-known Hydrangea Panlculata Grandiflora, which, 

 up to the Introduction of the new form, has been one of the most 

 popular flowering shrubs, blooms only In this latitude during August, 

 while the new sort blooms continuously from early June until the 

 end of the growing season. The size of the flower Is one of the 

 striking features of this shrub. Blooms twelve inches across are 

 frequent in young plants, while the average size on mature plants 

 is usually six inches or more. The color of the flower is a pure, 

 dazzling white, without the creamy, and later pink, tints of the old 

 H. Panlculata Grandiflora. The length of time this whiteness is 

 retained depends somewhat on local conditions, but usually from four 

 to five weeks, when the flowers begin to change gradually to a light 

 green color, and by October the flowers and foliage are of a similar 

 shade of green. 



The flowers, when cut, possess remarkable keeping qualities, 

 remaining In good form and color many days. This feature renders 

 It specially valuable for florists' use. 



This Hydrangea Is also one of the very best shrubs for forcing 

 under glass, equal to any other used for that purpose ; easily brought 

 into bloom for Easter sales, as well as for later events. Our 8 to 12- 

 Inch plants can be brought Into bloom along with Geraniums and 

 other bedding plants, when their large, showy blooms will attract 

 general attention. 



This Hydrangea gives every promise of becoming even more popu- 

 lar than the well-known H. Panlculata Grandiflora, as It lacks the 

 coarseness and stiffness of that variety ; it Is reflned In tone and 

 effect, and with Its abundant and handsome foliage it lends Itself 

 readily to landscape effects. It is a comely, handsome shrub at all 

 times. It reaches a height of five to six feet, and when In full bloom 

 is one of the most striking as well as the most beautiful shrubs of 

 Its seanon. It is at least as hardy as H. Panlculata Grandiflora. 

 We have sold many of them to our customers in Maine, Minnesota 

 and other Northern States, and in Canada as far north as Winnipeg. 



We have one of the larsest stocks of nursery- grown plants 

 of American "Everbloomine " Hydrangea In America, and 

 offer to the trade for fall of 1908 : Strong, one-year-old plants, 

 15 Inches and up,$S.SO per doc; tlS.OO per 100; $140.00 per 1000.
