HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS-=-Continued 
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 Jawns. 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 so easily grown that success is almost cer- 
tain in any kind of soil and in any situation. Strong flowering 
plants, for immediate effect, two years old, 75 cents.
