HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA ALBA. A variety 
of the native H. arborescens , recently discovered. The heads of flowers 
ai;e in shape like H. 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 H. paniculata grandiflora has lost its 
color this variety is still fresh, eventually turning to alight green and then 
brown. It is a graceful shrub and is destined to achieve the widest popu¬ 
larity. 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, Si.00 each, S9.00 per doz.

flowering in August and continues in bloom the rest of the season, the

least one-half of the last season’s growth. The grandest flowering shrub
