HYDRANGEA. 
This is the handsomest shrub grown anywhere. It is a native of Japan 
and thrives in all sections of the country, coming into bloom in August, when 
all other shrubs are through flowering. It grows from 8 to 10 feet high, 
producing great pyramidal panicles of bloom 1 to 2 feet in length and 6 to lii 
inches in diameter. The blo.^soms are at first pure white, turning gradually 
to a delicate pink, hence it grows deei>er as the season advances, tlirough the 
sunset shades to lavender. The blooms dry like "Everlasting Flowers," 
and can be kept indoors all winter. It is hardy as the oak, never kills back 
and for specimen plants, groups, borders or ornamental divisions it is very 
beautiful. To obtain the best results the plants should be severely i)runed 
back each season. Flowers are made on the new wood and the closer it is 
trimmed the stronger the new gn>wth and blooms will l>e. We have seen 
specimens of this plant at our trial grounds carrying over 500 large blooms. 
Mulch the ground thoroughly around the plant; never allow it to dry out, 
and give it an abun<lance of water during the flowering .season. Each IOc.»

small lawns should be planted singly. 3 to 4 ft., each 50c.; 4 to 5 ft., each 
75c.
