SILVER BELL — A beautiful large 
shrub, with handsome white bell- 
shaped flowers in May. Very desir- 
able. 
Hydrangea. 
ARBORESCEXS STERILIS (Hills of 
Snow) — This superb new Hydrangea 
is a variety of the hardy native spe- 
cies If. arborescens, commonly found 
“wild” in most of the states east of 
the Mississippi river. The sterilis is 
likewise absolutely hardy and is, 
moreover, of easy culture and is an 
exceedingly prolific bloomer. A five 
year old plant has produced one hun- 
dred and twenty-six perfect blooms 
at one time. 
OTAKSA — Foliage a beautiful deep- 
green. Produces immense clusters of 
rose-colored flowers in profusion, in 
July. Should be planted in tubs and 
protected in winter. 
PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA — A 
fine, hardy shrub, growing to the 
height of eight or ten feet; flower 
white, in great pyramidal panicles a 
foot long, produced in August or 
September, when most other shrubs 
are out of bloom. 
RED-BRANCHED — The highest au 
thorities pronounce it the grandest 
plant for the house or verandas that 
has over been introduced. The wood 
in distinct red and the flowers pink, 
of great beauty and immense size.

THOMAS HOGG — A half-hardy variety 
of great beauty; flowers pure white, 
produced from July to September. 
Requires some winter protection. 
TREE FORM HYDRANGEA— The Hy- 
drangea Panieulata Grandiflora is one 
of the very finest of hardy shrubs, 
but when grown in standard or tree 
shape it is especially showy and 
striking. It forms a graceful and 
dwarfish tree, not reaching more than 
eight or ten feet in height, and is ex- 
tremely effective for lawn decora- 
tions, whether standing singly or in 
masses. The immense trusses of bloom 
appear at just the time when other 
flowers are scarce, and last from the 
first of August until frost comes. It 
is entirely hardy and very easy to 
grow.

riety. Foliage richly shaded with

ety. The young growth is of a deep

grower, with small leaves margined

ful. 
Lilac (Syringa).

size and pure white. This and Lud- 
wig Spaeth are the two best lilacs of 
recent introduction.

lieved to be the finest of its class.

recommended as perhaps the best of 
the white lilacs.

promising. Flowers double white.
