Hydrangea Arborescens 
Grand iflora 
A variety of H. arborescens, recently dis¬ 
covered. The heads of flowers are in shape like 
FI. hortensis ; they are snowy white. It is a true 
shrub, begins to bloom in early summer and con¬ 
tinues into the fall so that it is practically ever-bloom¬ 
ing. After H. paniculata grandifiora has lost its color 
this variety is still fresh, eventually turning to a light green 
and then brown. It is a graceful shrub and is destined to achieve 
the widest popularity. It attains a height of 6 feet and the same 
width and is literally loaded with its grand panicles of large snowy 
white flowers, one of the grandest sights imaginable. Price, strong 
two-year old plants, 2 to 3 ft. high, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 
Hydrangea Paniculata Grandifiora 
This is the most popular hardy shrub in cultivation. It attains a 
height of 4 to 6 feet; perfectly hardy in all parts of the country. The 
flowers are white when first open, but change to pink and russet 
brown. They are borne in immense pyramidal panicles, nearly a 
foot in length, the weight of the flowers bending the branches. It 
commences flowering in August and continues in bloom the rest of the 
season, the flowers drying on the bushes. Very effective when 
planted in masses or with a background of other shrubs. (See en¬ 
graving.) Price, strong plants, 2K to 3 feet, high, 35c. each, $3.50 
per doz., $25.00 per 100. 
Tree Hydrangea. This is the same variety as the foregoing only 
grown as "Standards,” that is there is a bare stem about 4 feet high. 
At the top is a fine head from which the flowers are produced. As 
single specimens on a lawn or in shrub borders this style is very 
effective. Price, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.
