; Paniculata var. 
Grandiflora.) 
T HERE is no more popular shrub to-day for our gardens and lawns than this 
plant. Not only of the easiest culture and thriving under a great variety of 
conditions, but it can be used in so many ways effectively. As a single plant 
standing alone it can be trained into a fine specimen. Grown in masses by itself 
it is often very effective, and for grouping in combination with other tiees ana 
shrubs it is many times very satisfactory. It takes kindly to being pruned and if 
one wishes to keep the growth low, an annual cutting down seems not to injure 
the plants. As it is in its greatest beauty in August and September when few 
showy shrubs are in bloom, this feature lends an additional value to it. V\ e grow 
this Hydrangea in large quantities, especially the small and medium sizes.

fern-Leafed Sumach (Rhus UypbtnaVar. Lactmata.) 
T HIS remarkable variety of our native stag-horn sumach was found on 
the hills of Vermont. It has the same rapid robust growth of the 
common form, producing the same showy cones of bright red f rui > 
but, as the illustration below will show, the leaves are so beautifully formed 
that they rival the most delicate fern in their intricacy. For massing wit 
other effective foliage shrubs the effect can be very striking. It can also be 
cut to the ground each season if desired and a mass of the most beautitu 
ioliaee will result. This shrub will thrive on the poorest of soils with a 
sur, rising luxuriance. For prices see page 2?.
