HYDRAXGHA GRAXOIFI^ORA IPX BLrOOHI.

The Hydrangea Grandiflora continues to be one of the best and most handsome Hardy Orna- 

 mental Shrubs ever grown. It blooms finely the first year and gets better and grows larger with age ; it 

 gfows three to four feet high, is perfectly hardy in all parts of the country, needs no protection in Win- 

 ter; blooms in July and August, when other flowers are scarce, and remains in bloom two or three 

 months. The flowers are Pure White, afterwards changing to pink, and rich coppery red, and are borne 

 ya iramense pyramidal trusses, more than a foot long and nearly as much in diameter; as shown in the 

 engraving, the plant is of bushy and compact growth, and when laden with its great masses of bloom is 

 exceedingly striking and attractive; it is deservedly popular, and in great demand for Lawn, Park and 

 Cemetery planting wherever known. 



Treatment. — No special treatment is required ; the Hydrangea will grow and thrive in all ordinary 

 situations ; the bush should be cut back every Spring, at least one-half of last season's growth, dug around 

 and well manured. The finest flowers are borne on the new or young wood, and are largest and best 

 when the plant has made a strong, vigorous growth.
