Hydrangea Paniculata. 



(See Cut page 103.) This is the 

 grandest shrub ever introduced and 

 more worthy of general cultivation than 

 any other iti our entire list. It comes from 

 Japan, the land of so many good things in 

 the fruit, plant and- shrub line. It thrives in all sections of the coun- 

 try and comes into bloom in August, when all other shrubs are 

 through flowering. It grows from S to 10 feet in height 

 producing great "pyramidal panicles of bloom a foot in 

 length and 6 to 10 inches in diameter, which are at first 

 pure white, then gradually changing to pink. The blooms dry up 

 like "Everlastings," and can be cut ofl" and kept in the house all 

 winter. It is as hardy as the Native oak, never kills back and is 

 adapted for any place 'where a handsome flowering plant is wanted. 

 As single specimen plants on the lawn, in groups 

 or clumps, for borders, for ornamental divisions of 

 city lots, and for mainj' other positions, it readily 

 suggests itself. Itshandsomeflowersdevelop about 

 August first, and retain their beauty till winter, 

 clinging to the plant long after the leaves have 

 fallen. 



To obtain the best results with this noble vari- 

 ety, it should be severely pruned back each season. 

 Flowers are made oti the new wood, and the closer 

 it is trimmed back the stronger the Tiew growth 

 and blooms will be. We have seen specimens of 

 this grand plant carrying over 500 large, showy 

 blossoms. Mulch the ground thoroughly around 

 the plant, never allow it to dry out and give it a great 

 abundance of water during the flowering period.
