HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA 
BLOOMS IN AUGUST. SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 
This Hydrangea is undoubtedly the grandest and most beautiful of all the 
hardy flowering shrubs. The flowers are rich, creamy white, changing to pink, 
and borne in immense clusters, often more than a foot long; it blooms in August, 
the first and every succeeding year, and continues in bloom for months. It is 
entirely hardy, no trouble to grow, and splendid effects can be obtained with 
this free-flowering shrub by planting it in masses along driveways, in groups 
among shrubbery or as a center for beds. When planted alone in oval or circular 
beds on large lawns, and the plants kept pruned yearly to a height of 3 or 4 
feet, this magnificent shrub will delight you with its showy bloom from August 
to October and produce a lasting effect obtainable from no other hardy plant.

HYDRANGEA, “HILLS OF SNOW” 
(H. arborescens grandiflora) see cut 8S|f 
One of the most valuable characteristic's of this shrub is its coming 
into bloom just after the passing of all the early spring flowers, while 
its long flowering season, from June till late August, makes it an acqui¬ 
sition on any lawn. The heads of flowers are produced on long, strong 
stems, making them good for cutting for indoor decoration and at a 
time when few other flowers can be obtained.
