DESMODIUM 
You will like it. It gets ablaze with 
purplish-red flowers in late August and 
September. Grows about 4 feet high and 
is one of the most attractive shrubs for

seen. I am sure that you will have some¬ 
thing different for your friends to see

HYDRANGEA 
Friends, this is the most popular and the finest flowering shrub for your 
yard that I know of. I want to personally recommend that you plant Hy¬ 
drangeas this year. They are hardy anywhere but do better in a partly shaded 
location. They like moist soil. 
HYDRANGEA A. G. "Hills of Snow.” This is commonly called Snowball 
Hydrangea because the flowers are very similar to those on Snowball shrub; 
the blooms are white and round and of a snowball nature. Blooms the 
latter part of June and flowers come in great clusters, 12-18 in., 25c each; 
18-24 in., 35c each; 2-3 ft., 45c each. 
HYDRANGEA P. G. (Giant Flowered Hydrangea). This is the true, large 
flowering variety with the large panicle-shaped blooms. Grows 6 to 8 feet 
tall, blooms in August and September. They are without doubt the most 
beautiful of the hardy outdoor shrubs and will succeed in anyone's yard 
anywhere in the Farm Belt. Blossoms are first snow white, then pink, 
then turn a reddish bronze. If cut when blooms turn a pink color, and 
hung upside down in the house, they make very beautiful winter bouquets 
and hold that color until the following Spring. Big, heavy rooted, outdoor 
grown plants. 12-18 in., 25c each; 18-24 in., 35c each; 2-3 ft., 45c each.
