Hardy Flowering Shrubs 
These are all 2 to 3 years, transplanted, and range from 1 to 
3 ft. in height, according to variety ; some being stronger growing, 
are consequently taller at the same age. In the description of 
each variety we give the natural heights at maturity, but they 
can be kept any size desired by pruning. Those marked * may be planted in a shady place

Hydrangea Arborescens 
Grandiflora 
A variety of H. arborescens, recently discovered. The heads of flow- 
ers are in shape like H. hortensis; they are snowy white. It is a true 
shrub, begins to bloom in early summer and continues into the fall, so 
that it is practically ever-blooming. After H. paniculata grandiflora 
has lost its color this variety is still fresh, eventually turning to a light 
green and then brown. It is a graceful shrub and is destined to achieve 
the widest popularity. It attains a height of 6 ft. and the same width, 
and is literally loaded with its grand panicles of large snowy white 
flowers, one of the grandest sights imaginable. Price, strong two-year- 
old plants, 2 to 3 ft. high, $1.00 each, $10.00 per doz. 
Hydrangea Paniculata 
Grandiflora 
This is the most popular hardy shrub in cultivation. It attains a 
height of 8 to 10 ft. ; perfectly hardy in all parts of the country. The 
flowers are white when first open, but change to pink and russet brown. 
They are borne in immense pyramidal panicles, nearly a foot in length. 
It commences flowering in August and continues in bloom the rest of 
the season, the flowers drying on the bushes. (See illustration. ) Price, 
strong plants. 2 14 to 3 ft. high, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.
