SEED 
HYDRANCSEJI (Pastiessiata Grand ifl@r»)o 
They are absolutely hardy, grow in any soil, and 
bloom the same year they are set out. They flower 
abundantly, bearing immense panicles of bloom, white 
at first and turning to rose in Autumn. An annual 
shortening of branches tends to increase the §iz® 
of the flowers. Each,

BUBBLE!® VARIABILIS (Chimes® Lilac). 
It is a hardy shrub, gr > wing three to four feet high, its gracefully 
arching branches covered with a woolly bloom. The leaves are 
bright green above, vaivefc whit© underneath, effectively 
undulated. The contrast of white and green produces a highly 
decorative effect. The very numerous branches are terminated by 
racemes of flowers, frequently twelve inches in length, and borne 
i n such quantities as to cover the entire bush. The coloring of 
flowers on seedling plants is very variable. The predominating 
shade is rosy lilac, with ora rag® tint in centre. Exquisite 
res© and violet shades have also been obtained. The flowers, 
which have a rather agreeable odor, are produced from June until 
October., and even later. The plant, is extremely hardy.

1 have long wanted to sell this 
excellent plant, but price and 
scarcity of good plants have 
deterred me from so doing un¬ 
til now. The plant stands at 
the head of hardy shrubs ; it is 
absolutel v hardy ; a good grow¬ 
er ; and is as much superior to 
the common snowball as a cul¬ 
tivated Rose is better than a 
wild one. Flowers resemble 
a huge snow-hall. Will grow 
six to eight feet. In bloom 
all Summer. Fine Blooming

Is of Japanese origin. When it is scarcely three inches high it be¬ 
gins to bloom, and thereafter is seldom out of flower. As a house 
plant nothing can equal it. In the garden it will make a plant three 
feet high and wide, and will be covered with heads, one foot across, 
of brilliant crimson flowers. 15c. ea.; 2 for 25c. Larger plants, 25c.
