The King of All Shrubs. 



THE NEW HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS 



GRANDI FLORA ALBA 



Hills of Snow 



The Most Valuable Hardy Shrub Ever Introduced. 

 Plant in the Fall. 



This is the great new hardy shrub that has come to gladden our 

 yards and gardens. We place it first and foremost of all shrubs. 

 It makes a perfectly round, symmetrical bush that is covered from 

 June to August with handsome, large, pure white flowers. Be sure 

 and plant this new Hardy shrub — it will please you greatly. Young 

 plants, 25 cents each; 3 for 65 cents; 12 for $2.00; Strong two* 

 year plants, 50 cents each. 



Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora 



A great favorite, 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 im- 

 mense 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 

 fine and larger if grown in a good, rich soil, but the plant is so 

 hardy and so easily grown that success is almost certain in any 

 kind of soil and in any situation. Strong flowering plants, for 

 immediate effect, two years old, 50 cents each; 3 for $1.30; 

 12 for $5.00. 



Spirea — Meadow Sweet 



These are beautiful shrubs of the easiest culture. Their bloom- 

 ing extends over a period of three months. One-year, 25 cents 

 each; 3 for 65 cents; 12 for $2.80; strong two-year-old plants, 

 60 cents each. 



ANTHONY WATERER— This beautiful gem makes a low, com- 

 pact bush and is covered nearly the whole growing season with 

 large umbels of deep crimson flowers which measure nearly a 

 foot across. When scarcely three inches high it begins to bloom, 

 and thereafter is seldom out of flower. As a pot plant or for 

 growing in the open ground, nothing can equal it. 



VAN HOUTTEI (Bridal Wreath)— Without doubt the very 

 finest of all shrubs. With us in May and early in June the plant 

 is completely covered with a mass of large white flowers present- 

 ing a beautiful appearance. Named the "Bridal Wreath" on 

 account of its long graceful sprays of pure white. 



Snowball — Viburnum 



i Viburnum Opulus Sterilis) 



(Guelder Rose.) — A well known favorite shrub of large size 

 with globular clusters of pure white flower/6. The Snowball of our 

 mothers' gardens. Blooms in May. 50 cents each ; 3 for $1 .30 ; 

 12 for $5.00. 



Viburnum Plicatum, 



>anese Snowball 



Handsome, plicated leaves with globular neads of pure white 

 flowers, early in June. No shrub is prettier. 75 cents each; 

 3 for $2.00; 12 for $7.00.
