The New Hydrangeas 



The Great Easter Novelty of the Year 



All of the varieties here offered have been tested by us under 

 ordinary conditions as to their adaptability to forcinj; for Easter, 

 with the intention of discardinur any that proved unworthy. 



To our surprise and gratification, all have proven themselves 

 valuable additions. 



While it is true that the averaee florist may ultimately select only 

 a half dozen sorts as meetinu his particular requirements, it is 

 manifestly impossible for us to make the final selection for him. 



In view of the condition explained above, we continue to offer 

 the full set at a special price to enable the ^ower to try all the 

 varieties and determine for himself which most nearly meets his 

 particular requirements.
