THE CHASE NURSERIES, GENEVA. N. Y. 
HYDRANGEA. 
Beautiful free flowering shrubs, bearing im- 
mense panicles or trusses of flowers. Panicu- 
lata and Arborescens are hardy and require no 
protection; the other varieties require protec- 
tion in winter and should be grown in pots or 
boxes and wintered in the cellar. 
Arborescens Grandiflora Alba. — (Hills of 
Snow) — This hardy American shrub is the 
very finest addition to this class of plants 
found in many a year. The blooms are of the 
very largest size, of pure snow-white color, 
and the foliage is finely finished, lacking en- 
tirely the coarseness found in Hydrangea pan- 
iculata grandiflora. One of its most valuable 
characteristics is its coming into bloom just 
after the passing of all the early spring shrubs, 
while its long season of bloom, from early June 
through August, renders it doubly valuable, 
not only to the florist, but to every owner of 
a garden; perfectly hardy, standing 20 degrees 
below zero. The form of the panicle is much 
like that of Hydrangea Hortensia." 
Otaksa. — A splendid variety from Japan. 
Flowers large, bright pink, tinted with blue; 
produced very freely. Not hardy. 
Paniculata Grandiflora. — This is one of the 
most valuable hardy shrubs. It attains a 
height of three or four feet, and is perfectly 
hardy in all parts of the country. The flowers 
are white, borne in immense panicles nearly a 
foot in length. It commences flowering in 
July and continues until November. The plant 
should be cut back every spring at least one- 
half of last season's growth, as the flowers are 
borne on new wood and are much finer when 
the plant is treated this way. An excellent 
shrub for cemetery planting. 
Thomas Hogg. — Immense trusses of flowers, 
at first slightly tinged with green, becoming of 
the purest white, and remaining so a long 
time. Not hardy.
