HARDY SHRUBS 

 FOR PERMANENT PLANTING 



They are absolutely hardy, and, once planted, last in- 

 definitely, increasing in size and beauty year after year. For 

 cold climate where hardy plants are needed they stand with- 

 out an equal. Planted in clumps, masses or used for hedges, 

 screens, or for filling unsightly corners, they make a glorious 

 show. They supply that certain something which is lacking 

 in every yard where shrubbery is not planted. We recommend 

 a liberal plauiting of this class of plants. 



Hydrangea Pan Grandiflora 



We grow and seU annually many thousands of these most 

 popular of aU shrubs. They are extensively used for yard, 

 lawn and hedge planting and for screens. Attains a height of 

 5 to 7 feet; hardy in all localities; blooms the first and every 

 season in July and August, and continues in bloom for two or 

 three months; the flowers are massive, cone-shaped, often 

 measuring 10 inches in length, and have a pleasing variation 

 of color, changing from original pure white to pink, and finally 

 to beautiful, rich, coppery-red. Well-rooted, field-grown plants 

 that wiU bloom this year. 



Hydrangea Arborescens 

 Grandiflora 



The New Everblooming Hydrangea is, as its name implies, con- 

 stantly in bloom from early in June until frost, and is one of the 

 most important additions in the way of hardy shrubs ever intro- 

 duced. All summer long it bears great clusters of white flowers, 

 much like the tender Hydrangea in size and form; it will grow to 

 perfection in partial shade, making it most valuable for massing 

 under trees or growing on north side of house. Handsome bright 

 green foliage. 



Philadelphus or ^'^Mock Orange"' 



Bouquet Blanc. Dwarf growth with long slender branches 

 densely covered from base to top with sweet-scented double 

 flowers of creamy-white. In fact the flowers are borne in such 

 great profusion as to totally obscure the plant. Spicy fragrance. 

 New Philadelphus ("Virginal"). One of the most beautiful, 

 new ever-blooming varieties. It also makes wonderful individual 

 specimen plants on the lawn. A vigorous tall grower with very 

 large double-crested flowers with round petals. Pure white, 

 sweetly scented; clusters of five to seven. 

 Philadelphus Grandiflora. Blooms early in June, flowers 

 creamy white and very fragrant.
