Hydrangea Arborescens. 
HYDRANGEA - The Hydrangeas 
Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora (Snowball 
Hydrangea.) This magnificent, perfectly hardy 
American Shrub has snow-white blossoms of 
largest size. One of its most valuable charac¬ 
teristics is its coming into bloom just after the 
passing of all the early spring Shrubs, while its 
long flowering season, from early June until 
late August, makes it a valuable acquisition in 
any garden. Strong plants, 50 cents each; 
$5.00 per dozen; specimen plants, $1.00 each. 
Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora. Without 
doubt the best known and most popular autumn¬ 
flowering Shrub in cultivation at the pres¬ 
ent time. The flowers, which are borne in 
dense, pyramidal panicles a foot long in the 
greatest profusion, are white when they first 
open, but gradually change to rose color, and 
remain in good condition for weeks. Fine bush 
plants, 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen; extra 
fine bush plants, $1.00 each.

Philadelphus Coronarius. (Mock Orange or Sy¬

ten to twelve feet in height, very hardy, and 
like all the Philadelphus is one of the best 
shrubs for situations which are partially shaded, 
although preferring sun. Orange-scented,
