 ers. Be sure and plant this new hardy shrub, it will please 

 you greatly. Price, young plants, 15 cents each; two for 25 

 cents. Strong two-year-old plants, 40 cents each; three 

 for $1-00 Large specimen plants to bloom at once, 75 cents 

 each. 



HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA— A great favor- 

 ite, 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 

 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 easily grown 

 that success is almost certain in any kind of soil and in 

 any situation. Young plants, 15 cents, three for 40 cents. 

 Strong flowering plants for immediate effect, two years old, 

 35 to 50 cents, according to size.
