HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. 
Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora. 
This is the most popular hardy shrub of the day, and one of the eas- 
iest to grow. It does well in any and all soils, but the flowers will be larg- 
er and finer if given good, rich soil. The flowers are in immense panicles, 
creamy white when first opening, changing to pure white when fully open 
then turning to pink and bronze as the flower grows older. It blooms in 
August, and remains in bloom until heavy frosts. At least half of the pre- 
vious year’s growth should be cut back each spring, as the flowers are much 
larger and finer when treated in this manner. We have a fine stick of ex- 
tra strong plants at 50 cts. each, $4 per dozen; smaller plants 25 cts. and 35 
cts. each, $2.50 and $3.50 per dozen.
