ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS, VINES, ETC. 



HYDRANGBA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. 



HYDRANGEAS. 



"Ked Branched" (New)— This new Hydrangea is declared by the intro- 

 ducers to be the best of the Hortensis class ever produced. The trusses are 

 larger and brighter than those of Otaksa, and it, produces bloom in great 

 profusion. Price, each, 50 cents. 



Hydrangea Otaksa Monstrosa. 



A decided improvement on that old favorite and really good variety, 

 Otaksa. The remarkable feature about this new one is the enormous size of 

 its clusters of blooms so freely produced, too, on even quite small plants. The 

 color of the flower is a beautiful and intense rose, shaded with white. The 

 plant is a free bloomer and of vigorous growth. Price, each, 85 cts. 



Otaksa— Very large pink flowers and fine glossy leaves. Each, 20 cts. 

 to $1.00. 



Hydrangea Paniculata 6 randif lora — Hardy. 



Pre-eminently the grandest of all the flowering hardy shrubs. It is per- 

 fectly hardy, requiring no protection whatever. It begins to flower early in 

 summer and continues until late in fall. Planted single or in groups it has a 

 charming effect. Each, 25 to 50 cts. Extra large plants, 81.00. 



DWARF HARDY SUNFLOWER. 



(Helianthus Multiflorus Flenus.) 



We are confident that the popularity of this plant will never cease; it is so 

 beautiful and so useful for the adornment of the lawn, or for supplying cut 

 flowers. A single plant produces armfuls of flowers, and these last a long 

 time when cut. A single specimen on the lawn is very effective, but a bed of 

 it is gorgeous. It attains a height of three feet, is robust and compact in 

 habit ; is easily propagated by division of the plant, and is perfectly hardy. 

 Flowers very double and perfect in form ; a rich golden yellow in color. 

 Price, each, 10 cts.; per doz., $1.00. Large strong plants, 25 cts. each.
