Hydrangea Hortensia. Garden, or Changeable Hydrangea. Native 
of Japan, introduced in 1790. An elegant, well-known plant, with large leaves and 
large globular heads of rose-colored flowers; usually grown in pots or boxes; in the 
north requires protection out of doors in winter. 
fvar. Thomas Hogg. This belongs to the Hortensia section of the 
family, but is a far more free and abundant bloomer than any other ; for the florist, 
and for all decorative purposes it is invaluable; the flowers are* of the purest white, of 
very firm texture, and are produced from July to September. It is as hardy as the 
old Hortensia; requires some protection in winter.

immense trusses of rose-colored flowers in profusion in July ; free blooming. 50 cents.
