FRENCH HYDRANGEAS

 trusses of bloom that completely side tne plant. Tney are half hardly and may be planted in the latitude of Philadelphia and in the 

 Gulf 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.
