HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS-Continued 



Hydrangea Paniculata 

 Grandiflora 



A great favorite, and there is noth- 

 ing' 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 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 certain in any 

 kind of soil and in any situation. 

 Young plants, 25 cents. Strong flow- 

 ering plants, for immediate effect, two 

 years old, 60 cents. 



New Hydrangea "S>? f 



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 flow- 

 ers. Be sure and plant this new hardy 

 shrub, it will please you greatly. 

 Voting plants, 25 cents each; strong 

 two-year-old plants, 60 cents. 



Plicatum Japanese Snowball 



Handsome plicated leaves with 

 globular heads of pure white flowers, 

 early in June; no shrub is prettier. 75c. 



Snowball — Viburnum 



(Viburnum Opulus Sterilis.) (Guelder Rose.) A 

 well known favorite shrub of large size, with globu- 

 lar clusters of pure white flowers. The Snowball 

 of our mothers' gardens. Blooms in May. One- 

 year plants, 35c; two-year plants, 60c.
