HYDRANGEA OTAKSA. 



H. H. var. Thomas Hogg". It belongs to the Hortensia section of the family, 



but is a far more free and abundant bloomer than any other ; for the florist, and for all 

 decorative purposes it will be invaluable ; the flowers are of the purest white, of very 

 firm texture, and are produced from July to September. It is as hardy as the old Hor- 

 tensia; requires some protection in winter. Price 30 cents to $1.00 each. 



var. Otaksa. Foliage a beautiful deep green color. The plant produces 

 immense trusses of rose colored flowers in profusion in July ; free bloomer. See cut. 

 30 cents to $1.00. 



H. paniculata grandiflora. Large Panicle-flowered Hydrangea. A 

 fine shrub, growing from 8 to 10 feet high ; flowers white, in great pyramidal panicles a 

 a foot long, and produced in August and September when very few shrubs are in flower ; 

 decidedly the finest flowering shrub of recent introduction. This is the Hydrangea 

 Deutziafolia of some nurseries. 50 cents to $1.00.

 able for its large leaves, which are lobed like those of the Oak, and downy beneath ;
