Double Flowering 
Hydrangea, Domotoi 
This splendid variety possesses all the valuable characteristics 
of the popular Hydrangea Otaksa, but produces beautiful double 
florets, which are far more lasting than the single flowers of 
Otaksa. It will thrive well wherever Otaksa flourishes, and 
thus prove just as useful for planting under similar conditions.

La Marne. 
Hydrangea Hortensis 
All of the varieties of Hydrangea Hortensis are extensively grown by 
florists for Easter Decoration as pot plants, but their chief value is the 
decorative effect which they produce when used for the porch, lawn or 
garden during summer. 
The plant produces its flowers from well-matured buds of the previ- 
Ous season’s growth, which, in unfavorable exposures, or under bad 
weather conditions, may become damaged by even a comparatively 
few degrees of frost, and, we therefore, recommend tub culture. 
In the fall, they may be placed in a light cool cellar or similar place, 
where they should be kept as cool as possible without freezing. During 
winter, they are to be kept comparatively dry, only enough 
water being supplied to prevent the roots from drying up. 
In some soils, the flowers naturally come blue, occasionally 
the plants will flower pink one season and blue the next. 
The most effective method to artificially produce blue 
4 _ flowers is to incorporate with each bushel of soil about one-half 
/ pound of alum, which should be broken up into pieces about 
the size of a hickory nut. ,

sirable on this account. EACH Doz.
