The heads of flowers are in shape like II. hortensis; 
they are snowy white. It is a true shrub, begins to 
bloom in early summer and continues into the fall, so that 
it is practically ever-blooming. After //. paniculaia grandiflora 
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.
