The New French Hydrangeas 
Lei us tell our friends that these new French Hydrangeas are the most meritorious plants brought out in years. They have 
enormous trusses of bloom that completely hide the plant. They are half hardy and may be planted outdoors in the latitude of 
I niladeipnia and in the Gulf and Pacific states. They are also fine as house plants, blooming in the spring time about Easter. 
These plants are especially valuable to the florist, as in a four-inch pot even they throw up an enormous head. Buy them in the 
fall, pot up in a cool house and bring on gradually. They are very easy to manage. Anyone can bring them into flower. The 
varieties we offer are the cream of the lot. 
Price, except where noted, two and one-half=inch pots, 60 cents per dozen; 
$4.00 per hundred. 
AVALANCHE— A splendid large white, which has made a rep¬ 
utation for itself during the past two seasons. An easv va¬ 
riety to force. 
BOUQUET ROSE -Large trusses of well-formed flowers, rosv- 
amber turning to bright pink; has proven a special favorite 
in the New York market this season. 
E. G. HILL (New Hydrangea) —This is the newest one and 
the very best, and is by far the very best pink that we have 
yet tried ; trusses of immense size Color a most pleasing 
shade of baby-pink that does not fade. Growth vigorous; 
foliage large and attractive. It is one of the easiest to force 
into bloom during the spring, coming into flower early. 
GENERAL DE VIBRAY —A favorite wherever seen. Very large 
heads of bright rose-colored flowers. A splendid early forc¬ 
ing variety. 
LA LORRAINE Very large flowers: pale rose, turning to 
bright pink; has become a general favorite during the past 
two years. 
MOUSSELINE (The Famous Blue Hydrangea) —With us a 
beautiful plumbago-blue. The introducer describes it as a 
beautiful mauve-rose with cream-colored center; the flower 
heads are large and held erect: a decided acquisition. If 
you desire a beautiful deep Hydrangea flower get this one.

orous grower, the individual flowers as well as the trusses 
being very large; one of the easiest to force. Early. 
MME. E. MOUILLERE This has been the favorite white vari¬ 
ety in the New York market this year; very free flowering,

over thirty thousand of this variety alone.
