The New Hydrangea. 
. / kield al the Nursery showing New Hydrangea. 
T UIS wonderful New IIakdv Hydrangea bids fair to become a most popular liordy garden 
shrub just as soon as better known and enough stock can be propagated to supply the 
demand. It is perfectly hardy, needing no protection, and will thrive in almost any lo¬ 
cation, even where Quite shady, although it delights in a rich mellow soil. It attains a size of 
three to four feet high and spreads as it develops, although it can be trimmed back quite to 
the ground each year if desired, and when so treated it sends up a number of vigorous stems, 
each crowned with an enormous head of bloom. As early as June 20th the flower heads are 
fully developed, which is a happy happening, as few shrubs are in blossom at this time. For 
a month or more the blooms remain pure white, then turn very slowly to a light green tint, 
and as the season advances assuming deeper green shades, finally toning down to the color of 
the foliage. The whole expression of the plant is refined and elegant, entirely free from the 
coarseness of some of the other Hydrangeas. (See illustration). Plant it either as a specimen 
to develop individually, in detached beds or groups, or in groups as the foreground for other 
and taller shrubs, in fact, no other shrub lends itself to so many attractive uses.

What Others Say. 
'The new Hydranyca Alba Grandiflora, after another season, has strengthened my 
opinion as to its merits. The plants which l purchased from you stand in an exposed 
situation and have stood the drought of the past two seasons remarkably, as well as the 
severe winters. This season they hare made a fine growth and are furnishing an abun¬ 
dance of bloom. / consider this new I~Iy yd range a a great addition to the summer flower¬ 
ing Partly shrubs.”
