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 
foliage.

doz., postpaid. Extra heavy 3 ft. plants $1.00

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 dene in late February or early March each season.

shrubs. They are extensively used for yard, lawn and hedge planting and 
for screens. Attains a height ot 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
