Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora 



The Best and Most Ornamental of all Hardy Shrubs 



0ECOGNIZING the sterling worth of this grandest of all hardy flowering Shrubs, we have for many 

 years past made it a leading specialty, growing and selling annually upwards of one hundred 

 thousand plants ; as a result of our efforts it is to-day the most popular of all shrubs for yard, lawn 

 and cemetery planting ; it is extensively used for hedge planting and for clumps and screens. 

 The great reduction now made in the prices should still further its popularity. It readily attains 

 a height of five to seven feet ; hardy in all localities, and needs no protection in Winter ; blooms the first 

 and every season in July and August, when other flowers are scarce, and continues in bloom for two or 

 three months; the flowers are massive, cone shaped, often measuring ten inches in length, and have a 

 pleasing variation of color, changing from the original pure white to pink, and finally a beautiful rich 

 coppery red. When the flowers mature they can be cut and utilized as parlor ornaments, where they retain 

 their natural beauty for an indefinite time. Our engraving, reproduced from a photograph of a single plant 

 growing on the grounds of the senior member of our Company, does not exaggerate in the slightest degree 

 the flowering propensities of Hydrangea Paniculata GrandifLora. All our plants will give a like 

 result, and cannot fail to prove a source of genuine pleasure and admiration. 



TREA TMENT. — No special treatment is required ; the Hydrangea will grow and thrive in all ordinary situations Plant
