FRENCH HYDRANGEAS 



Let us tell our friends that these French Hydrangeas are the most meritorious plants brought out in years. They have enormous 

 trusses of bloom that completely hide the plant. They are half hardy and may be planted in the latitude of Philadelphia and in the 

 Oulf and Pacific states. They are also fine as house plants, blooming in the spring time about Easter. When kept at a temperature 

 of 70 degrees out of doors they bloom about June.
