HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA—A great favor- 
ite, and there is nothing finer or more showy, whether for 
planting in large masses in parks or for single plants on the 
smallest lawns. Blooms profusely from July until frost, in 
immense white panicles, tinted with pink and then with 
brown in the fully matured flower. The plant should be cut 
back each spring fully one-half of the past season’s growth, 
as the flowers are much finer if the plant is treated in this 
manner. The flowers are much finer and larger if grown in a 
good, rich soil, but the plant is so hardy and easily grown 
that success is almost certain in any kind of soil and in any 
situation. Young plants, 15 cents, three for 40 cents. Strong
