THE GREATEST SALE OF THE YEAR. 



"HYDRANGEA PANICULATA

Thousands of it to be sold at Half Price. 



Recognizing the sterling worth of this grandest of all hardy 

 flowering Shrubs, we have for many years past made it a 

 leading specialty, growing and selling annually upwards of 

 100,000 plants ; as a result of our efforts it is to-day the most 

 popular of all Shrubs for yard, lawn and cemetery planting ; 

 it is extensively used for hedge planting and for clumps and 

 screens. The great reduction now made in the prices should 

 still further its popularity. It readily attains a height of 5 to 

 7 feet ; hardy in all localities, and needs no protection in 

 Winter; blooms the first and every season in July and 

 August, when other flowers are scarce, and continues in 

 bloom for two or three months; the flowers are massive, 

 cone shaped, often measuring ten inches in length, and have 

 a pleasing variation of color, changing from the original pure 

 white to pink, and finally a beautiful rich coppery red. 

 When the flowers mature they can be cut and utilized as 

 parlor ornaments, where they retain their natural beauty for 

 an indefinite time. 



Treatment. — No special treatment is required ; the Hy- 

 drangea will grow and thrive in all ordinary situations. 

 Plant in either Spring or Fall, and cut back each successive 

 Spring at least one-half of the previous season's growth. 

 Dig and manure. The finest flowers are borne on the new 

 or young wood, and are largest and best when the plant has 

 made a strong and vigorous growth.
