OHIO. Last April I sent you an order for a collection of Roses, which I received 

 and they have done very nicely this summer. They were your one year old 

 plants and they have nearly all hloomed. Mrs. B. E. Gassel. 



Hardy Shrubs for Permanent 

 Planting 



They are absolutely hardy, and, once planted, last 

 indefinitely, increasing in size and beauty every year. 



For cold climate, where hardy plants are needed 

 they stand without an equal. Planted in clumps, 

 masses or used for hedges, screens, or for filling un- 

 sightly corners, they make a glorious show. They 

 supply that certain something which is lacking in 

 every yard where hardy shrubbery is not planted. 

 We recommend a liberal planting of this class of 

 plants. They last a lifetime and are sure to give 

 splendid satisfaction. Set about three feet apart 

 for a screen, but as individual specimens, plant 

 wherever desired. Water freely when planted. 



Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora 



We grow and sell annually thousands of these 

 most popular of all shrubs. They are extensivey used 

 for yard, lawn and hedge planting and for screens. 

 Attains a height of 5 to 7 feet; hardy in all locali- 

 ties; blooms the first and every season in July and 

 August. The flowers are massive, cone-shaped often 

 measuring 10 inches in length, and have a pleasing 

 variation of color, changing from original pure 

 white to pink, and finally to beautiful, rich, cop- 

 pery-red. Well-rooted, field grown plants that will 

 bloom this year. 



Lilacs (Syringa) 



Best beloved of all the old-time garden shrubs, 

 whose flowers never fail to charm with their de- 

 licate beauty or refresh with their tender fragrance. 

 NEW PERSIAN*— Blooms in early June. Flowers 

 beautiful reddish purple, very fragrant and borne 

 in profusion; leaves rich, dark green.

Everblooming Hydrangea, — Arborescens Grandiflora 



Hydrangea Arborescens 

 Grandiflora 



The New Everblooming Hydrangea is, as its 

 name implies, constantly in bloom from eaTly in 

 June until frost, and is one of the most important 

 additions in the way of hardy shrubs ever intro- 

 duced. All summer long it bears great clusters of 

 white flowers, much like the tender Hydrangea in 

 size and form ; it will grow to perfection in par- 

 tial shade, making it most valuable for massing un- 

 der trees or growing on north side of house.

 der branches densely covered from base to top
