Hydrangea 



No 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 to September. 



Hydrangea arborescens. (S). June and July. 

 A bushy plant from our native woods, with corymbs 

 of white flowers. It is the most hardy of Hydran- 

 geas, and particularly desirable for planting in 

 shady places.

Great-Panicled Hydrangea 



Hydrangea paniculata, var. grandiflora. (M). 

 From July to September there is no shrub more 

 showy than this favorite Hydrangea, whose branches 

 are bent beneath the weight of huge white flower 

 clusters. As the season advances the flower pani- 

 cles change to tints of pink and red. Always de- 

 pendable.

Hydrangea Hortensis 



These plants are very popular on account of their 

 attractive flowers during the Summer months. They 

 give the most satisfaction when grown as tub plants, 

 which can be used to decorate either the porch or 

 to border walks and drives. In sheltered positions, 

 however, and with proper care, they are sufficiently 

 hardy to withstand our Winters if planted in the 

 open border, where they will come up each year, 

 without additional care. We offer the following 

 varieties:
