Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora. 



We are Headquarters for this Grandest of all Hardy 



Flowering Shrubs. 



The Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora continues to be one of the best and most handsome Hardy 

 Ornamental Shrubs ever grown. It blooms finely the first year and gets better and grows larger with age ; 

 it grows 3 to 5 feet high, is perfectly hardy in all parts of the country and needs no protection in Winter ; 

 blooms in July and August, when other flowers are scarce, and remains in bloom for two or three months. 

 The flowers are Pure White, afterwards changing to pink and rich coppery red, and are borne in immense 

 pyramidal trusses, more than a foot long and nearly as much in diameter ; as shown in the engraving, the 

 plant is of compact and elegant habit, and when laden with its great masses of bloom is exceedingly strik- 

 ing and attractive. This noble Shrub is seen gracing alike with its superb presence, the cottage foreyard, 

 large lawns, extensive grounds, parks and cemeteries. A universal favorite. 



Treatment. — No special treatment is required ; the Hydrangea will grow and thrive in all ordinary situ- 

 ations ; the bush should be cut back every Spring, at least one-half of last season's growth, dug around 

 and well manured. 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.
