Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora 



Blooms in August, September, and October 

 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-flowering shrub 

 by planting it in masses along drive- 

 ways, in groups among shrubbery or as a 

 center for beds. 



HYDRANGEA, ''Hills of Snow" {H. ar- 

 borescens grandiflora). Comes into

 lawn. Prune severely in early spring.

 This is one of the finest new orna- 

 mental shrubs that we have had to offer 

 in a long time. The flowers are snow- 

 white, large, crested, fragrant, and
