A NEW AND VALUABLE HARDY SHRUB. 
Klytounlg©® ( Arb s°er e ms ens ) Grmm&w Asbffl. 
This wonderful new HARDY HYDRANGEA was 
introduced last season for the first time to the gen¬ 
eral public, though it has been very carefully watched 
by a few experts, who were fortunate enough to have 
.the plants, for a number of years. Not until we 
were cerain of its intrinsic merit did we care to offer 
it for sale. Its behavior this last summer only 
added to our favorable convictions. Those who 
saw the well established plants of it in full bloom 
here at the Nursery were without exception enthusi¬ 
astic about its beauty. While this new HARDY 
HYDRANGEA resembles somewhat some of the 
half-hardy Japanese species which we are familiar 
with as grown in tubs, it nevertheless has personal charms quite its own. 
This is especially true of the immense heads of bloom, which are produced 
in greatest profusion and are of the purest snowy white and have the inter¬ 
esting characteristic of slowly turning pea-green and later to the dark green 
of the foliage as the flower heads mature rather than turning brown. This 
adds an additional charm to this interesting plant which is greatly appre¬ 
ciated by all who have watched it. It is absolutely hardy and will stand with¬ 
out protection even where the thermometer drops below zero. The flower 
heads begin to appear in June, long before any other garden Hydrangea, and 
continue throughout the summer, making it a perpetual bloomer. As a sin¬ 
gle specimen (see illustration above), in detached groups or as a foreground 
for larger shrubs its possibilities have practically no limitation. While we 
are fortunate in having a large stock of this NEW HYDRANGEA at the 
present time, we would suggest your placing your order right away, as all 
orders will be filled in the rotation they are received, and there is sure to be 
a tremendous demand.

“/ have great confidence in this new Hardy Hydrangea. I have backea up 
this confidence by getting fifty plants of it. Were I in the parks I would have 
purchased a thousand instead of fifty plants for massing effects."
