For Summer Bloom 
As nearly all of the better known 
shrubs bloom in the Spring, many gar¬ 
dens are devoid of flowers during the 
summer months when they can be en¬ 
joyed the most. The following worth¬ 
while shrubs have this summer-flowering 
appeal. 
Oakleaf Hydrangea 
(Hydrangea quercifolia) 
This is the Aristocrat of the Hydrangeas, not 
to be confused with the common dooryard va¬ 
riety. Its large substantial leaves resemble the 
oak leaf; attractive panicled blooms appear in 
early summer, and the autumn coloring is al¬ 
most beyond description. Not hard to grow; only 
its scarcity has kept it in the background. The 
one shrub we recommend for that shadiest place, 
if not too dry. 
Oakleaf Hydrangea 
12 to 15 in. Plants, $0.50 each; 
3 for $1.25 Postpaid. 
2 to 3 ft. Plants, $0.75 each; 
3 for $2.00 F. O. B. Piqua 
S ummer-Plumes 
(Spiraea richmensis) 
Unlike the common Bridal 
Wreath (Spiraea van houttei) 
this Spirea blooms in the 
months of July and August, 
dark pink flowers, larger than 
the Douglas Spirea. You will 
want this arching shrub in your 
border planting. 
18 to 24 in. Slender Plants, 
$0.50 each; or 3 for $1.25 
Postpaid 
Extra heavy 3 to 4 ft. 
Plants, $0.85 each, 
F. O. B. Piqua 
Summer-Plumes. 
Blue Rose Of Sharon 
This Single Blue Athea is the 
Aristocrat of all the Altheas. 
The color of this large single¬ 
flowering Althea is a clear and 
distinct blue. Use it for an ac¬ 
cent, singly or a group of three; 
or use it anywhere you want a 
narrow, upright shrub that 
will never outgrow its location. 
This summer-blooming shrub 
has been in such demand that 
we seldom have enough to go 
around. 
18 to 24 in. Plants, $0.75 each 
Rose of Sharon 
2 to 3 Plants, $0.90 each; Postpaid
