The  Hydrangeas 
The  half-hardy  Hortensis  and  its  varieties  have  long  been  popular  for  garden 
and  conservatory  use,  and  now  for  the  even  show^ier  hardy  species  there  is  quite  a 
rage.  At  Nevi^port  these  are  used  in  great  quantities  for  bedding,  and  pruned  to  the 
ground  every  winter.  Treated  in  this  way  the  flower- heads  are  larger  and  finer. 
The  Hortensis  varieties  should  be  given  some  protection  in  winter.

spare  them  for  hedges  alone.  They  are  hardy,  nearly  evergreen,  grow  freely  in  all 
soils,  have  a  dense  neat  habit,  and  bloom  profusely.  The  flowers  are  white,  fra- 
grant, and  borne  in  graceful  racemes  or  clusters  through  June  and  July.  The  fruits, 
too,  are  often  quite  showy,  and  the  leaves  are  glossy.
