NEW DOUBLE BED HYDKiNOEA. (>2 Natural Size.) 



THE JAPAN HYDRANGEAS 



Are now, and deservedly, getting to be most fashionable plants, 

 being hardy with but a slight protection of leaves in winter, in 

 almost every Northern State. They form graceful 

 bushes of 4 to 5 feet in height and diameter. Their 

 immense trusses of flowers are of pure white, rich 

 shades of pink — and when the soil contains iron, the 

 pink changes to the most delicate shade of blue. 



DOUBI.E RED HYDRANGEA. 



{H. Stellata Rubra Plena.) 



A most novel and beautiful style of Hydrangea. The 

 flowers, or more properly the bracts, are double, and 

 similar in appearance to a Polyantha Eose. The en- 

 graving shows the form and shape of the truss, with 

 an individual floret of natural size on the right hand 

 side and a representation of a plant in miniature on 

 the left. It attains a height and width of three to four 

 feet, and when in bloom is covered with its rosy red 

 double blossoms, which, owing to their double form, 

 remain perfectly fresh much longer than the single 

 ones. This is one of the most distinct and useful 

 plants ever introduced and should bo in every collec- 

 tion. Equally hardy as the other Japan sorts. 

 Price for large stock plants, $3.00 each. 

 Strong plants from 4 inch pots, $1.50 each ; S15.00 doz.

NE'W ^WHITE FRINGED 

 HYDRANGEA. 



{Hydrangea Stellata Fimbriata.) 



The engraving given of this beautiful new Hydran- 

 gea fails to give anything like a full idea of what it is. 

 The flowers are formed in immense trusses, some- 

 times nine inches in diameter ; the bracts are of the 

 purest white, fringed, having a crimson spot in the 



The two new Hydrangeas, 



centre. This variety 

 we flnd to be not 

 only finer but hardi- 

 er than the old white 

 Hydrangea, " Thos. 

 Hogg," so that it 

 will form an excel- 

 lent and most ap- 

 propriate plant for 

 cemetery purposes. 

 Plants attain a di- 

 ameter and height 

 of from 3 to 4 feet. 



Price for large 

 stock plants, $2 each.

NEW WHITE FRINGED HYDRANGEA. 



The box of plants arrived here on Saturday morning in excellent order. The contents were a complete surprise to us. It is the cheapest and most satisfactory invest- 

 ment 1 ever made for our Sabbath School, and, if permitted, shall take pleasure in repeating it on every Easter Sunday.— Wm. Laudee, Riddleburgh Pa., April Sd) 1888.
