Everblooming Hydrangea — (Arborescens Sterilis) 



HYDRANGEA Arborescens Sterilis — The new everbloom- 

 ing Hydrangea is, as its name implies, constantly 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 Hydran- 

 gea in size and form; it will grow to perfection in par- 

 tial shade, making it most valuable for massing under 

 trees or growing on north side of house. Prices same 

 as Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora.

 shrubs, whose flowers never fail to charm

 fragrant and borne in profusion; leaves

 cately shaded.

 color, 9 to 12 feet high when matured.

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 

 filling unsightly corners, they make a glorious show. They sup- 

 ply that certain something which is lacking in every yard where 

 shrubbery is not planted. We recommend a liberal planting of 

 this class of plants. Tliey last a lifetime and are sure to give 

 splendid satisfaction. Their culture is exceedingly simple. 

 When received cut the plants back about one-third their 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 contains some of them we will send the different varieties 

 at the proper season. 



Some varieties, such as Hydrangea, Snowball, Weigelas, Deut- 

 zias, require pruning in early spring before new growth starts. 

 Here with us it is done in late February or early March each 

 season.
