HYDRANGEA. 



Hydrangea panicnlata 

 grandiflora.— Denominated by the 

 best horticulturists of the land, the 

 grandest of all flowering shrubs. It is 

 indeed a noble flower and may justly 

 be dubbed the Queen of Hardy Flow, 

 ering Plants, Although very hardy 

 the plant is not in itself especially at- 

 tractive but when crowned as it is, 

 upon every branch, with its huge pani- 

 cles of fleecy flowers, sometimes a foot 

 long and nearly as broad at the base' 

 which at the end of a week to ten days 

 take on a delicate blush, gradually 

 changing to a purplish pink through- 

 out, it is of majestic grandeur that 

 baffles description. And its beauty is 

 not for a day or a week, for the plant is 

 in its glory of bloom from the middle 

 of August until the middle or last of 

 October. The bush in time attains a 

 size of six feet or more, if given room 

 to develop, attaining great beauty each 

 year, as it attains age. 1 yr., 15 c; 

 2 Trs.,20e; 2 ft., 25c; 3 ft., 3oc: 4 ft., 

 50c. Standard, $1.00. 



Hydrangea querci folia, 

 (Oak-leated Hydraxgea).— a beauti- 

 ful native shrub which we have the 

 pleasure of introducing into cultiva- 

 tion. Like Hydrangea paniculata 

 grandiflora, it is perfectly hardy and 

 sends up numerous shoots but can be 

 trained to a single stem. Its stems 

 which are usually about the size of a 

 lady's finger, have the appearance of tan-colorod plush, the leaves light green upon the under surface and 



silvery white beneath with heavy white prominent 

 veins. It is an early bloomer, the airy panicles of 

 flowers reaching out from the shade in a sort of 

 phantom beauty. The panicles are from a foot to 

 eighteen inches in length and six inches in diam- 

 eter, being composed of numerous pale cream 

 colored florets, each terminating in a pure snow- 

 white flower. The leaves are very large and tropi- 

 cal in effect, turning In autumn to the most beau- 

 tiful shades of rich crimson and purple, with me- 

 tallic reflections contrasting with the velvety stems 

 in an exquisitely beautiful manner. It is a grand 

 and magnificent plant and will prove a source of 

 constant pleasure to all who plant it. 25c; large, 

 50c. We will send one good plant hy mail 

 of each of the two Hydrangeas described above 

 for 25c; ortivo,of each for 60c, For 75c we icill 

 send by express one large strong plant of each; 

 or for $1.25 two strong plants of each.
