Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora 



The New Everblooming Hydrangea is, as its name implies, con- 

 stantly in bloom from early in June until frost, and is one of the most 

 important additions in the way of hardy shrubs ever introduced. 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 

 partial shade, making it most valuable for massing under trees or 

 growing on north side of house. Handsome bright green foliage. 



Lilacs (Syringa) 



Best beloved of all the old-time garden shrubs, whose flowers never 

 fail to charm with their delicate 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, rather small and delicately shaded.

 is loaded down with great, compact balls of pure white, double 

 flowers. They are borne in such profusion that the entire plant 

 appears one dense mass of bloom; the tree grows erect and bushy, 

 6 to 8 feet high, with deep green leaves peculiarly crimped and 

 crinkled. Wondrously beautiful.

HARDY SHRUBS FOR PERMANENT 

 PLANTING 



They are absolutely hardy, and. once planted, last indefinitely, increasing in 

 size and beauty year after 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 fining unsightly corners, they make a glorious show. They 

 supply that certain something which is lacking in every yard where 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. Their culture is 

 exceedingly simple. When received cut the plants back about one-third then- 

 growth if not done before shipping. Set about three feet apart for a screen, but 

 as individual specimens plant wherever desired. Water freely when planted, 

 and for a few days afterward. No protection required. They may be planted 

 as soon as ground is ready to dig, up until late spring. This class of plants 

 should be set out earlier than Roses and other pot plants, so if your order con- 

 tains some of them we will send the different varieties at the proper season. 

 Some varieties, such as Hydrangea, Snowball, Weigelas, Deutzias, require 

 pruning in early spring before new growth starts. Here with us it is done in 

 late February or early March each season. 



Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora 



We grow and sell annually many thousands of these most popular of all 

 shrubs. They are extensively used for yard, lawn and hedge planting and for 

 screens. Attains a height of 5 to 7 feet; hardy in all localities; blooms the first 

 and every season in July and August, and continues in bloom for two or three 

 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, coppery-red. Well- 

 rooted, field grown plants that will bloom this year. 



Hibiscus Meehan's Marvel Mallow 



They make a bush-like growth from 4 to 5 feet high and 2 to 3 feet 

 across. The flowers are of enormous size, frequently 8 to 10 inches in 

 diameter and ranging in color from fiery crimson through various 

 shades of red, pink and white. Price, mixed colors — Pink, Red or 

 White — strong two-year-old field-grown roots, 75 cts. each. 



Dingee Special Lawn Grass Seed 



It produces a smooth, velvety green sward of attractive appearance. 

 Sow the seed carefully and evenly at the rate of one quart to a space 

 equal to 15 x 20 feet; two bushels will sow one acre. After sowing 

 cover the seed by raking or harrowing it. 



Seeding may be done at any time during the spring, summer or fall, 

 but the best results are obtained by sowing during April, May, Sep- 

 tember or October. Where fall sowing is practical a top-dressing of 

 manure is recommended to protect the roots of the young grass during 

 the winter. In the spring the gross matter should be removed, leaving 

 the surface clean. To renovate lawn, loosen the soil on the bare spots 

 with a steel rake, and, after sowing a liberal quantity of seed, roll or 

 rake again to cover the seed. 



Price, by mail, 50 cts. per pound; in bulk, by express, 45 cts. 

 per pound, 20 pounds or more.
