ELEGANT DECORATIVE HARDY PLANTS. 



Magnificent and highly ornamental out of door plants, easily grown, and should be in evei-y home in this land. Grand for bedding- 

 purposes and as specimen plants for piazzas, or to place either side of a flight of steps, nothing is more striking and efEective. 

 Hydrangeas thrive best in rich soil. A little shade and plenty of water seem to meet all they demand during the growing season. 

 The bush should be cut back every spring at least one-half of last season's growth, dug around, manured well, and the plants will 

 award you with an overwhelming abundance of blooms.
