Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora {Snowball Hydrangea). 

 This magnificent perfectly hardy American Shrub has snow- 

 white blossoms of largest size. One of its most valuable char- 

 acteristics is its coming into bloom just after the passing of all 

 the early Spring-blooming Shrubs, flowering from early June 

 until late July, makes it valuable in any garden. 60 cts. each.

 and most popular summer flowering Shrub in cultivation. The 

 flowers, which arc borne in dense pyramidal panicles a foot long, 

 in the greatest profusion, are white when they first open, but 

 gradually change to rose color, and remain in good condition 

 for weeks.

 specimens for the lawn or garden, SI. 50 each.

 gated form and very effective for associating with other dwarf shrubs.

 October, makes this a particularly valuable Shrub. It grows

 lilac colored flowers. 60 cts. each.
