Hydrangea 



N 



O 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 Hor- 



tensis 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.

SINGLE PANICLED HYDRANGEA 



(Hydrangea paniculata) 



See prices above. The sinj^le flowers are distinctive and 

 by some admired beyond the great panicles of the more 

 common form pictured in the opposite column. 



GREAT PANICLED HYDRANGEA 



(Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora) 

 The plant 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 now at 50 cents each. 

 Look at the results obtained in this short time. 



Great Panicled Hydrangea 



H. 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 clus- 

 ters. As the season advances the flower panicles 

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

 ways dependable. See illustration above.
