A New Hardy Snow- White Shrub 



Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora. 



A variety of H. arborescens, recently discovered. 

 The heads of flowers are in shape like H. hortensis;

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

 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, 2 to 3 ft. high, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.
