Hardy Deciduous Shrubs— Continued 



Hydrangea Arborescens, Grandiflora Alba. 

 The King of All Shrubs 



The New Hydrangea Arborescens, Grandiflora Alba 



(Hills of Snow) 



The most valuable hardy shrub ever introduced. 



This, the great new 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. Young plants, 25 cents each; 3 for 

 69 cents; 12 for $2.48. Strong two year plants, 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen. 



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 smaller 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 ot 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 cents each; $5.00 per dozen.
