HARDY HYDRANGEA 
ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA 
This new American Hydrangea was found growing wild some 
years ago in the woods of Ohio and bids fair to become the most 
beautiful hardy flowering shrub introduced dui^ng the last twenty 
years. It greatest value, aside from its beauty, is that it comes 
into bloom just after the flowering time of the Lilacs, Syringas, 
Viburnum and spring-flowering Spiraeas and continues on into 
August. The panicle is more like a Snowball in form and size than 
Paniculata Grand iflora (hence the name), and is a pure white. It 
seems to thrive well in various soils, but requires shade. We offer 
strong dormant plants. 15 cents each; 'Z for 25 cents, postpaid. 
HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA 
Tens of thousands of. this noble Summer and Autumn-flowering 
shrub have been sold the past few years, and the demand is now 
universal. They grow to a height of 8 to 10 feet and are abso- 
lutely hardy, grow in any soil and bloom the same year they are 
set out. They flower abundantly, bearing immense panicles of 
bloom a foot long, white at first, turning to rose in autumn, com- 
mencing to bloom in August, when very few shrubs are in bloom. 
An annual shortening of branches tends to increase the size of the 
flowers. Very select stock, 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents, postpaid.
