NEW CLIMBING HYDRANGEA, 

 (Schizophragma Hydrangeoides). 



We believe we were the first to oflor this valuable climb- 

 ing plant, either here or in Europe. Mr. Thos. Hogg 

 describes it as clinging to trees to the height of fifty feet, 

 producing corymbs of white flowers of the size of ordinary 

 Hydrangeas. It clings exactly like Ivy, and one can 

 imagine the effect of a wall or tree so covered, while in full 

 bloom. Like ail Japan plants of that character.it is en- 

 tirely hardy. 



1st size, 60 cts. each ; $4.50 per doz.

NEW WHITE HYDRANGEA, 



"Thos. Hogg." 



This plant has now been very generally distributed over 

 the entire country. To those who have not yet obtained 

 it, we would say, that the flowers are pure white, often 

 measuring fifteen inches in diameter; the plant when fully 

 grown, covering a space of six feet in diameter— making 

 it a valuable plant for cemetery decorations or other pur- 

 poses. It is hardy everywhere, if a slight protection of 

 leaves is given around the roots in winter. We have a 

 large stock, and offer it at the following low rates — all 

 plants that will bloom this season. 



1st size, $1.00 each; $9.00 per doz.

 ing about two feet in height; flowers pink, changing

HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDI- 



FLQRA (Syn. H. Beutstefolia). 

 One of the finest hardy shrubs in cultivation ; the flowers 

 are formed in large, white panicles, or trusses, Six inches 

 in length. The shrub grows to a height and breadth of 

 four or Ave feet, and as the flowers slightly droop, few 

 plants have the grace and beauty presented by this mag- 

 nificent shrub ; for cemetery decorations it has no equal. 

 Continues in flower from August to November.

 mer flowers. Embra e all shades of pink, maroon, rose, 

 yellow, etc. We would call Bpecial attention to our strain

 almost equal to a double Camellia where white flowers are

 cut.'

NEW GERMAN IVY.

 more valued than the old sort. It resembles the English 

 Ivy to such a degree that it is often mistaken for it; the 

 leaves hi ve a metallic lustre, the veins and ribs being of a 

 lighter color. It has the same strong, vigorous growth as 

 the common German Ivj'i and, for baskets, etc., it is un- 

 surpassed.
