HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. (Syn- H. Deutzsefolia.) 



One of the finest hardy shrubs in cultivation; the flowers are formed in large white panicles, 

 or trusses, six inches in length. The shrub grows to a height and breadth of four or five feet, 

 and as the flowers slightly droop, few plants have the grace and beauty presented by this mag- 

 nificent shrub ; for cemetery decoration, it has no equal. Continues in flower from August to 

 November. 



Price for extra large stock plants, $3.00 each; 2d size, $2.00 each; 3d size, $1.00 each, 4th 

 size, 50 cents each. 



HYDRANGEA JAPONICA VARIECATA. 



This, although a hardy plant, is excellent for greenhouse decoration during the summer. It 

 is more especially suited for in-door use, as the leaves burn on full exposure to our hot mid-sum- 

 mer suns, but when planted in a half shaded situation, will do well. The leaves are deep green, 

 marked with pure white. 



Price, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen.
