GRAND HARDY HYDRANGEAS 
Hydrangea arborescens sterilis. 
ARBORESGENS STERILIS ( Arborescens grandiflora alba ). Hills of Snow. This most valuable new hardy 
Hydranges is also known as American Everblooming Hydrangea. The blooms are of the largest size and pure 
snow white, the form of flower heads being much like Hydrangea Hortensia. The habit of plant and foliage is ele¬ 
gant and refined and the plant is very hardy. It produces its large panicles very freely and for a long season. An 
especially valuable feature lies in the fact that it comes into bloom just after the spring shrubs have faded and 
continues until late August; rendering it of the greatest use for planting in conjunction with the well-known H 
paniculata grandiflora. (See cut.) Two years, 1to 2 feet, each, 30c. Three years, 2 to 3 feet, each, SOc. 
PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA.—Perhaps no shrub is more frequently met with upon lawns and in door yards than
