HYDRANGEA 
PANICDLATA 
GRANDIFIORA. 
One of the finest hardy 
shrubs ever introduced, 
and in size and magnifi¬ 
cence of bloom not ex¬ 
celled by any shrub In 
cultivation. The bush 
in time attains a large 
size, growing in beauty 
year by year. It is in 
the full glory of bloom 
from August until the 
middle or last of Octo¬ 
ber, when every branch 
is crowned with an im¬ 
mense panicle of fleecy, 
pure white flower-, 
changinglaterto a pink¬ 
ish hue, sometimes a 
foot long and nearly as 
broad at the base, pre¬ 
senting an aspect of 
majestic grandeur that 
absolutely defies description. Entirely hardy, 
very free-growing, a profuse bloomer, and 
thrives in all soils. It should have a promi¬ 
nent place in every garden, not only because 
it is such a glorious shrub, but for Its flowers 
appearing at a time when few others are to 
be found. 
The plants I offer have all bloomed this season, and 
will be pruned right for transplanting. 15c. each; 2for 
25c., postpaid.
