Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora 



The Best and Most Ornamental of all Hardy Shrubs 



RECOGNIZING the sterling worth of this grandest of all hardy flowering Shrubs, we have for many- 

 years past made it a leading specialty, growing and selling annually upwards of one hundred 

 thousand plants ; as a result of our efforts it is to-day the most popular of all shrubs for yard, lawn 

 and cemetery planting ; it is extensively used for hedge planting and for clumps and screens. The 

 great reduction now made in the j^rices should still further its i^opularity. It readily attains a height 

 of five to seven feet ; hardy in all localities, and needs no protection in \Vinter ; blooms the first and every 

 season in July and August, when other flou'ers are scarce, and continues in bloom for two or three months; 

 the flowers are massive, cone shaped, often measuring ten inches in length, and have a jileasing variation 

 of color, changing from the original pure white to pink, and finally" a beautiful rich coppery red, 

 \Vhen the flowers mature they can be cut and utihzed as parlor ornaments, where they retain their natural 

 Vjeauty for an indefinite time. Our engraving, reproduced from a photograph of a single plant growing on 

 the grounds of the senior member of our Company, does not exaggerate in the slightest degree the flower- 

 ing propensities of Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiftora. AH our plants will give a like result, and 

 cannot fail to prove a source of genuine pleasure and admiration. 



TRJ^ATMMNT. — No special treatment is required ; the Hydrangea will grow and thrive in all 

 ordinary situations. Plant in either Spring or Fall, and cut back each successive Spring at least one-half of 

 the previous season's growth. Dig and manure. 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.
