HYDRANGEA. 
The Hydrangeas arc well-known, favorite plants. 
Hardy south of Philadelphia; grown at the North as 
pot plants; their immense heads of bloom make them 
very conspicuous. A little shade and plenty of water 
seem to meet all their needs. They can be put in the

porch, few plants are more desirable. One each side 
of the front door steps makeS a fine effect. Each, 25 
cents.

heads as large as the pink; a most beautiful and 
ornamental shrub.

The violet lifts its calm blue eye , 
The ferns bend lowly her steps to greet, 
A nd the mosses creep to her dancing feet f

IPOMGEA (Moon FlowerI 
I pomoea Bona /'lox. This variety of Ipomcea is offered under vari¬ 
ous names, such as Good Night, Evening Glory, and the like. But, 
even though it were given a hundred other synonyms, it would be 
the same grand and beautiful climber that produces its large, pure 
white, sweet-scented flowers in the night, and on dull cloudy daj's. 
It is one of our strongest, most vigorous climbers, attaining a height 
of twenty-five feet in one season, with ordinary culture. To keep 
over winter, the plant must be cut back, the roots potted, and kept 
in a growing condition. Per dozen, $1.50; each, 15 cents.
