Hydrangea Paniculata Qrandiflora. 



THE BEST AND CHEAPEST OF ALL HARDY SHRUBS. 



I \ ECOGNIZING 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 prices should still further 

 its popularity. It readily attains a height of five to seven feet ; hardy in all localities, and needs 

 no protection in Winter ; blooms the first and every season in July and August, when other 

 flowers 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 pleasing variation of color, chang- 

 ing from the original pure white to pink, and finally a beautiful rich coppery red. When the 

 flowers mature they can be cut and utilized as parlor ornaments, where they retain their natural 

 beauty 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 slight- 

 est degree the flowering propensities of Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora. All our plants 

 will give a like result, and cannot fail to prove a source of genuine pleasure and admiration. 



TREATflENT. — 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. 



Our Stock of this Grand Flowering Shrub is the 

 Largest in America— over 100,000 Plants.
