CHOICE HARDY ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 



No flowering plants are more worthy of cultivation than shrubs 

 and none can be cultivated more easily. 



Shrubbery is indispensible for it has all the artistic advantages 

 and all the practical ones as well. The first cost is the only cost, 

 and the plants greatly increasing in size and beauty year aftei 

 year, make an investment which yields an annual dividend of 

 loveliness not to be computed in any ordinary way. 



MAGNIFICENT NEW HYDRANGEA 



"HILLS OF SNOW" 

 Immense snow-white panicles of blooms, literally cover- 

 ing the bush; absolutely hardy, standing 20 degrees below zero 

 without the least injury. 



This niagiiiliceiu , hardy American shrub is the finest addi- 

 tion to this e-lass of plai.ts found in many .n year. The heads of 

 blooms, whicli are of large size and pure snow-white cclor are 

 produced in marvelous profusion covering the bush with a mag- 

 nificent mass of glistening pure white flowers. The foliage is 

 finely finished, lacking entirely that coarseness found in so 

 many of our Ijest known shrubs. One of the most vahuilile 

 characteristics is its coming into bloom just after tlie pas^iug 

 of all tlie early Spring shrubs; while its long season, from early 

 June, through September, renders it doubly valuable, not only 

 to the florist for cut-flow^ers, but also to the owner of a gar- 

 den — as there i.s no shrub so grandly decorative. The large 

 lieads of bloom are superbly attractive, and the habit of the 



i plant is excellent. This splendid hardy shrub is bound to be- 



; come most widel.v grown just as soon as its great value be- 



I comes known. We have a fine stock of this valuable shrub 



i growing and can offer them to you at the following very reason-

 floral wreath is made at once by 

 bending and tying the ends of the

 beautiful hardy shrubs in existence.
