1 want to encourage the planting of shrubs. To be effective they should be planted in masses, but when dealers or nurserymen ask 
iifty cents each for easily-grown shrubs there is not much encouragement to plant them freely. I have made arrangements by which 1 can 
supply my customers with well-grown shrubs in the best varieties 
at the extremely low prices quoted below, but in every instance 
the selection of varieties must be left to me; however, in ordering, 
if it is stated that certain shrubs are not wanted they will not be 
sent. I guarantee these shrubs to be satisfactory in both quality 
and variety. 
SPECIAL OFFER A. — 60 shrubs in line assortment oi 15

Paniculata grandiflora, 24 to 20 inches. 
Paniculata grandiilora, 2 feet, extra large and bushy. 
Prices good until stock is exhausted. Fall or spring delivery. 
No more popular plant or shrub has ever been sent out than 
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora , and I take great pleasure in 
offering my customers a large stock of splendid vigorous plants 
at such extremely low prices that it will enable them to plant this 
effective shrub in quantity. 
People who have only seen this Hydrangea grown singly as 
specimens have no conception of how beautiful and effective it 
is when planted in masses. They are planted in this way at 
Newport, R. I., which is famous for its tine gardens, and almost 
as famous for its Hydrangeas. These Hydrangeas can be planted 
in connection with other shrubbery or in isolated beds, in the same 
manner as cannas, caludiums or other strong-growing bedding 
plants. They are perfectly hardy, and once planted they are a 
permanent addition to the lawn or garden. When grown in beds 
or groups they should be planted about two feet apart in very rich 
soil, which should be liberally enriched annually with rotten 
stable manure, and in the early spring, before they commence to 
grow, cut back so as to leave only two or three inches of the new 
growth of the previous season; if extremely large flowers are 
desired, cut out some of the weakest shoots after growth has com¬ 
menced. Treated in this manner they will produce enormous 
panicles of flowers, and the beds will be a solid mass of bloom. 
They bloom profusely the same season planted. Try them. You 
will find them more than satisfactory.

expensively by express. I do not supply less than one-half 
bushel. Special prices quoted for large quantities. Grass
