Hydrangea 

 Paniculata 

 Grand iflora 



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 

 smaller lawns. Blooms 

 profusely from July un- 

 til 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. Strong 

 flowering plants, for 

 immediate effect, 

 two-year old, 50 cts. 

 each.

 large, pure white flow- 

 ers. Be sure and

 shrub — it will please 

 you greatly. Young

 two year plants, 50 

 cents each.
