A corner of a field of hardy hydrangea at the propagating farm of Green’s Nursery Co. This is one of the most 
popular flowering shrubs. It remains in blossom about two months. Its beauty and abundance of bloom are not 
surpassed by any flowering shrub. It thrives almost everywhere even with neglect. It may be planted as single 
plants or grouped in beds or planted of the borders of driveways. Its branches (new wood) should be cut back 
severely each autumn or.spring.

Were you ever in a nursery? Many people have never seen a nursery. Here I introduce a scene from Green's 
-Nursery, twelve miles southwest of Rochester, X. Y. This represents the growth of two years on apple trees from 
the bud or graft. Is it not remarkable that such .a marvelous growth can be secured in two years? Notice how 
straight the trunks of the. trees are. Some varieties of apple or pear will not grow straight. Varieties differ in 
appearance as you will notice by the two center rows which are vastly different in appearance of foliage from the other 
varieties. As far as the eye can see, you can detect this one variety as compared with others nearby. In this way 
the nurseryman could in a minute pick out a tree in the Baldwin row that should not be there. If you could see with 
your own eyes, our rows of different varieties of trees, you would have more confidence in their being true to name.
