A NEW HARDY SNOW-WHITE SHRUB 



Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora 



A variety of II. arbor escens, recently discovered. 

 The heads of flowers are in shape like II. 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 II. pan- 

 ic -til at a 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 feet 

 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, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 



HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. 

 This is the most popular hardy shrub in cultivation. 

 It attains a height of 4 to 6 feet; 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 im- 

 mense pyramidal panicles, nearly a foot in length. It com- 

 mences flowering in August and continues in bloom the rest 

 of the season, the flowers drying on the bushes. (See cut.) Price, 

 strong plants, 24 to 3 feet, high 25c. each, $2.50 per doz., 

 $18.00 per 100. 



Tree Hydrangea. Grown as " standards;" fine specimens 

 about 5 feet high, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.
