PHOTOGRAPH OF SPECIMEN HYDRANGEA, PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. 
HYDRANGEA. The native species are handsome shrubs of medium size, with 
fine, large leaves, generally of a light-green color, and perfectly hardy. Those from China 
and Japan are especially interesting and valuable. Easy of culture in any good soil, but the 
richer the soil the better the results. 
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora (Large Panicle-flowered Hydrangea). A 
very fine shrub, growing from eight to ten feet high ; flowers white, in great pyramidal 
panicles a foot long, and produced in August and September, when very few shrubs are 
in flower. One of the finest flowering shrubs. 35 cents to $1.00 each. 
Hydrangea, Empress Eugenie. A variety of the Hortensia type. Large corycombs 
of blue and pale rose-colored flowers. 35 cents each. 
Six shrubs of one variety for the price of five; twelve shrubs for the price of ten.
