HYDRANGEAS 
ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA ALBA. 
This magnificent hardy American shrub is the 
very finest addition to this class of plants found in 
many a year. The blooms are of the very largest 
size, of pure snow-white color, and the foliage is 
finely finished, lacking entirely the coarseness found 
in H. Paniculata Grandiflora. One of its most 
valuable characteristics is its coming into bloom 
just after the passing of all the early spring shrubs, 
while its long season of bloom, from early June 
through August, renders it doubly valuable, not 
only to the florist, but to every owner of a garden; 
perfectly hardy, standing 20 degrees below zero. 
1 he form of the panicle is much like that of Hyd. 
Hortensia; the habit of the plant is excellent; it is 
bound to become the most widely grown and the 
most useful of all the Hydrangeas, and the most 
valuable shrub found in the American garden, 
while it is more than probable that the florist will 
find it a most important addition to his class of 
plants, both indoors and out. 
Young stock, 2'4-inch pots, $6 per 100; $50 per 
1000 .

Amiel — About one foot high; approaches the 
trailing variety in habit, as the first growths droop 
toward the ground, successive growths rise above 
these until it forms a dome-shaped plant covered 
solid with bloom of the brightest shade of orange- 
red with golden centers; a leader among bedding 
plants.
