HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA

 hardy flowering shrubs. The flowers are rich, creamy white, changing to pink, 

 and borne in immense clusters, often more than a foot long; it blooms in August, 

 the first and every succeeding year, and continues in bloom for months. It is 

 entirely hardy, no trouble to grow, and splendid effects can be obtained with 

 this free-flow'ering shrub by planting it in masses along driveways, in groups 

 among shrubbery or as a center for beds. When planted alone in oval or circular 

 beds on large lawns, and the plants kept pruned yearly to a height of 3 or 4 

 feet, this magnificent shrub will delight you with its showy bloom from August 

 to October and produce a lasting effect obtainable from no other hardy plant.

HYDRANGEA, "HILLS OF SNOW" 



{H. arborescens grandiflora) see cut

 its long flowering season, from June till late August, makes it an acqui- 

 sition on any lawn. The heads of flowers are produced on long, strong 

 stems, making them good for cutting for indoor decoration and at a 

 time when few other flowers can be obtained.
