GREAT PANICLED HYDRANGEA 



{Hydrangea paniculata grandijlora) 



The Great Panicled Hydrangea, shown here, was photographed four years after leaving our nursery, at which 

 time it was the same size as our 4 to 5 ft. plants offered here at 50 cents each. Look at the results obtained in this 

 short time. 



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.
