Blue Hydrangea. 
Blue Hydrangea 
This Hydrangea has been the most 
desired of all the Hydrangeas offered to 
the trade. It blooms in great profusion, 
from New York City to Cleveland, 
Ohio; and south to Washington and 
Baltimore. 
We began experimenting with this va¬ 
riety about 5 years ago and find that by 
covering in winter, they grow and bloom 
for us as readily as for our friends in 
Boston and Newport, who also have to 
protect them by covering in like manner. 
This Hydrangea is a Japanese type 
that blooms pink flowers on the 1-year 
stems, followed by blue flowers on the 
2-year-old W'ood. In other words, it is 
necessary to have 2-year-old wood to 
have the blue Hydrangea. 
We now have a nice stock of these 
young plants which we are offering to 
our customers in 8- to 12-inch size 
at $1.C0; 18- to 24-inch at $2.00 
e?.ch, postpaid.
