/  HYDRANGEA 
\  J  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  arborescens.    (S)   June  and  July.    A     Hypericum  aureum,  continued 
bushy  plant  from  our  native  woods,  with  corymbs       flowers  at  a  time  when  little  else  is  blooming, 
of  white  flowers  in  June  and  July.   It  is  the       Hardy  as  far  north  as  Massachusetts;  grows 
most  hardy  of  Hydrangeas,  and  particularly        well  in  moist,  stony  ground  and  shaded  places, 
desirable  for  planting  in  shady  places.  A  small  plant,  useful  at  the  front  of  shrubbery
