A very rare, beautiful climber. Blooms in June or July, with a mass of white or 
greenish white, very fragrant flowers, similar to Bush Hydrangeas. The leaves are

Gives an especially attractive effect when allowed to climb up the trunks of trees. 
A wonderful new variety.

Now be first in your locality to grow the CLIMBING HYDRANGEA. It will create a 
sensation.
