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 transplant 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 Hydrangeas 

 and particularly desirable for planting in shady 

 places.

Great Panicled Hydrangea 



H. paniculata var. grandiflora. (M). Prom 

 July to September there is no shrub more showy 

 than this favorite Hydrangea, whose branches are 

 bent beneath the weight of huge white flower clus- 

 ters. As the season advances the flower panicles 

 change to tints of pink and finally to bronze. Al- 

 ways dependable. See picture below.

The flowers and foliage are the same as the well- 

 known Hydrangea. These plants have been trained 

 up to one single stalk, giving them the appearance 

 of a small tree. Splendid for formal efi^ects.

Great Panicled Hydrangea furnished by us three years before this photograph was taken. Such effects are as quickly 

 possible with the bushy, vigorous stock we offer above. At the close of Summer no shrub is more showy than this sturdy plant 

 with Its large panicles of white flowers that ripen into beautiful shades of pink and crimson.
