The Beautiful New Hydrangea 
ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA ALBA 
SNOWBALL HYDRANGEA 
This new Hydrangea with its enormous trusses of snow-white flowers, has proven a most valuable acquisition 
to our collection of flowering shrubs, being absolutely hardy, a profuse bloomer, coming into flower much 
earlier than the well-known Paniculata Grandiflora and continuing in bloom for several months. 
After years of effort, we have now accumulated a large stock of three-year-old nursery-grown plants which 
carry from four to six strong branches and which, if planted during April, will give an abundance of bloom 
this season. 
When sending your order, please state what 
time during April you wish us to make shipment.

The Perfect Couch for Outdoor Sleeping 
A Rowe Hammock has hung for 8 or io_ summers 
on a porch within 200 feet of the Atlantic Ocean. 
Last season a visitor referred to it as “your new ham¬ 
mock.” 40 years’ experience shows that Rowe’s Ham¬ 
mocks give 10 years of continuous out-of-door service. 
As far as the signs of wear go, you can’t tell whether 
a Rowe Hammock has been used 6 months or 6 years. 
It is made by sailmakers on the model we supplied 
for years to the U. S. Navy. It is made from duck 
that is 60 per cent, to 200 per cent, stronger than that 
in others, and sewn with thread that is twice as 
strong. It has sewing and bracing that no other 
maker has learned the need of. It is handsome, but 
severely plain—no showiness, just solid merit. 
Our Khaki is permanent in color, will not soil clothing. 
A very few first-class stores are licensed to sell our 
hammocks. If not conveniently situated, you should 
buy direct from us. Delivery prepaid, ready for hanging.
