HYDRANGEA 
H. arborescens grandiflora alba. D. ‘‘This magnificent hardy American shrub is the very finest 
addition to this class of plants found in many a year. The blooms are of the very largest size, of pure 
snow-white color, and the foliage is finely finished, lacking entirely the coarseness found in Hy- 
drangea paniculata grandiflora. One of its most valuable characteristics is its coming into bloom 
just after the passing of all the early Spring shrubs, while its long season of bloom, from early 
June through August, renders it doubly valuable, not only to the florist, but to every owner of a 
garden; perfectly hardy, standing 20° below zero. The form of the panicle is much like that of 
Hydrangea Hortensia; the habit of the plant is excellent; it is bound to become the most widely 
grown and the most useful of all the Hydrangeas, and the most valuable shrub found in the 
American garden, while it is more than probable that the florist will find it a most important ad- 
dition to his class of plants, both indoors and out.’’ $1.00.
