shrub border. It is attractive and upright, has bright 
green leaves, and oroduces large, creamy white flowers. 
H. arborescens grandiflora. Hills-of-Snow. 4 to 5 ft. An 
excellent plant for low, solid borders or in foundation

completely covers the compact, round-headed shrub. 
H. paniculata grandiflora. PeeGee Hydrangea. 8 to 19 ft. 
This old garden favorite has the largest clusters of flowers 
of all the shrubs. In July the plant is a mass of these 
large, pure white, long-lived blooms. If planted in rich 
soil and pruned back each spring before the leaf-buds 
open, they will grow to be compact and bushy and will 
produce large flower clusters. They are extremely 
showy when kept uniform in growth.

similar in form to an oak leaf, this shrub is a rich dark 
green in summer and a claret color in the fall. It is a 
daintier appearing plant than are the other Hydrangeas. 
Large panicles of dingy pinkish white flowers are pro¬ 
duced in midsummer. It thrives in the sun or the shade.

habit,

low-growing shrub which spreads rapidly from under¬ 
ground suckers, making it a fine ground-cover under
