THE E.G.HILL COMPANY 
HYDRANGEA 
ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA ALBA. 
I his magnificent hardy American shrub is tiie 
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 FI. 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 llorist, but to every owner of a garden; 
perfectly hardy, standing 20 degrees below zero. 
The form of the panicle is much like that of Flyd. 
llortcnsia; 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, $3.50 per 100; $35 
per 1,000. 
PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. 
Strong, young plants, $3 per 100. 
OTAKSA. 
234-inch pot plants, $3 per 100.
