Grand Hydrangeas 



Beautiful Hardy 



Decorative Plants. 



'HE Hydrangea ie the most magnificent and highly ornamental ont-of- 

 door shrub known; easy to prow; nothing is more striking or effective. 

 I am so in love with the beautiful shrub Paniculata Grundiilora 

 that I will plant 500 plants of It this season to beautify our 

 home flower gardens. It is as hardy as an oak, and in 

 the thousands of plants that have boen sold I have yet 

 to hear a single complaint. It should be called the 

 hardy satisfaction plant. 



Monstrosa Compacts — The flowers are 

 something enormous; trusses 18 inches in 

 diameter being of common occurrence, 

 while the individual florets measure 3 

 inches in diameter, and are of the most 

 pleasing shade of bright satiny-pink. 

 Plant is of a compact bushy growth, and 

 attains a height of 2 feet. While not 

 perfectly hardy, it will stand out with 

 good protection, but can best be 

 wintered in a dry, dark cellar. When 

 brought to light in early spring, will 

 produce its blooms in time for Easter 

 decoration. 15c. Large plants by 

 express, 25c.
