 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

PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA— Most valuable and ornamental shrub 

 in e-xistence. Completely covered with gigantic pyramidal trusses 

 of bloom from 16 to 18 inches long and as much in diameter: com- 

 posed of hundreds of florets of a most dazzling white, changing to 

 an exquisite pink, the whole producing a gorgeous effect. These 

 blossoms remain from 6 to 8 weeks without fading. Perfectly 

 hardy in all parts of the country; needs no protectioru Grand lor 

 cemetery use and all kinds of outdoor bedding. I am so in love 

 with this beautiful shrub that I planted 500 plants of it last season 

 to beautify our home fiower gardens. It is as hardv as an oak, 

 and of the thousands of plants that have been sold I have yet to 

 hear a single complaint. It should be called the hardy satisfac- 

 tion plant.
