A NEW HARDY SNOW-WHITE SHRUB 



HYDRANGEA. 



HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA. A 



variety of the native H. arborescens, recently discov- 

 ered. The heads of flowers are in shape like H. hor- 

 tensis; they are snowy white. It is a true shrub, begins 

 to bloom in early summer and continues into the fall, 

 so that it is practically ever-blooming. After H . pan- 

 iculata grandifiora has lost its color this variety is still 

 fresh, eventually turning to a light green and then 

 brown. It is a graceful shrub and is destined to achieve 

 the widest popularity. It attains a height of 6 feet 

 and the same width, and is literally loaded with its 

 grand panicles of large snowy white flowers, one of the 

 grandest sights imaginable. Price, strong two-year old 

 plants, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz. 



HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. This 

 is the finest and most popular hardy shrub in cultiva- 

 tion. It attains a height of 4 to 6 feet; perfectly hardy 

 in all parts of the country. The flowers are white when 

 first open, but change to pink; they are borne in im- 

 mense pyramidal panicles, nearly a foot in length. It 

 commences flowering in August and continues in bloom 

 the rest of the season, the flowers drying on the bushes. 

 It should be cut back every spring at least one-half of 

 the last season's growth. The grandest flowering shrub 

 for lawn or cemetery planting in existence. (See cut.) 

 Price, strong plants, '1\ to 3 feet, high 25c. each, $2.50 

 per doz., $18.00 per 100.
