HYDRANGEA 
Xo  class  of  shrubs  is  better  known  than  the  Hydrangeas,  because  they  include  some  of  the 
most  showy  flowering  plants  that  are  found  in  cultivation.    They  grow  easily,  have  no  insect 
enemies,  and,  with  the  exception  of  the  Hortensis  varieties,  are  reliably  hardy.    A  crowning  feature 
is  that  they  bloom  during  the  comparatively  flowerless  months  of  July  and  August. 
Hydrangea  arbore seen s.  (D)  June  and  July.  A 
bushy  plant  from  our  native  woods,  with  corymbs 
of  white  flowers  in  June  and  July.  It  is  the  most 
hardy  of  Hydrangeas,  and  particularly  desirable 
for  planting  in  shady  places.  each  doz.

H.  hortensis,  var.  Mariesi.  (S)  This  plant  has 
large,  handsome  green  leaves,  and,  like  the  other 
Hortensis  or  garden  varieties  of  Hydrangeas,  it 
seldom  withstands  more  than  10  degrees  of  frost. 
Yet  their  flowers  are  so  large  and  beautiful  that 
they  repay  the  expense  of  protection.  The 
flowers  of  this  particular  variety  are  blue.

var.  monstrosa.  I'S)  Our  stock  of  this  re-

never  seen  it  bloom,  we  understand  that  the 
flowers  are  larger  than  those  of  any  other  kind.

ber. This  shrub  is  increasing  in  popularity  be- 
cause it  is  a  strong  grower  ;  hardy ;  has  hand-

Grandiflora.  Can  be  used  by  itself  or  in  borders.

var.  grandiflora.  Great-paxicled  Hydrangea. 
(M)  From  July  to  September  there  is  no  shrub 
more  showy  than  this  favorite  Hydrangea,  whose 
branches  are  bent  beneath  the  weight  of  the 
huge  white  flower-clusters.  The  illustration  on 
page  51  shows  it  in  the  beauty  of  full  bloom, 
and  as  the  season  advances  the  panicles  fadn 
into  tints  of  pink  and  red.  A  vigorous  groAv-r: 
in  nearly  all  soils  and  hardy  in  most  parts  of  the 
United  States  and  Canada.  Should  be  in  all  col- 
lections ;  valuable  as  a  specimen  and  useful  for 
grouping  by  itself.  each
