HYDRANGEA 
(The Hydrangeas.) 
HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA. 
(Snowball Hydrangea.) (Illustration above.) 
This magnificent, perfectly hardy American shrub 
has snow-white blossoms of largest size. One of 
its most valuable characteristics 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 acqui¬ 
sition 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 present 
time. The flowers, which are borne in dense, pyra¬ 
midal 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.

are set on stems 3 inches long, and are so slender that 
they bend with the weight of the buds or bloom in 
a very graceful fashion. The buds are carmine in 
color; the open blossoms are semi-double, and the 
tree when in bloom presents a most gorgeous ap¬ 
pearance.
