Everblooming Hydrangea — (Arborescens Grandiflora) 



Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora 



The New Everblooming Hydrangea is, as its name 

 implies, constantly in bloom from early in June until frost, 

 and is one of the most important additions in the way of 

 hardy shrubs ever introduced. All summer long it bears 

 great clusters of white flowers, much like the tender Hydran- 

 gea 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

Hardy Shrubs for 

 Permanent Planting 



They are absolutely hardy, and, once planted, last indefinitely, increasing 

 in size and beauty year after year. For cold climate where hardy plants 

 are needed they stand without 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 planting of this 

 class of plants. They last a lifetime and are sure to give splendid satis- 

 faction. Their culture is exceedingly simple. When received cut the plants 

 back about one-third their growth if not done before shipping. Set about 

 three feet apart for a screen, but as individual specimens plant wherever 

 desired. Water freely when planted, and for a few days afterward. No 

 protection required. They may be planted as soon as ground is ready to 

 dig up until late spring. This class of plants should be set out earlier than 

 Roses and other pot plants, so if your order contains some of them we will 

 send the different varieties at the proper season. 



Some varieties, such as Hydrangea, Snowball, Weigelas, Deutzias, 

 require pruning in early spring before new growth starts. Here with us 

 it is done in late February or early March each season. 



Hydrangea paniculata (grandiflora) 



We grow and sell annually many thousands of these most popular of all 

 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 will bloom this year.
