A New Hardy Snow-White Shrub 
HYDKANGEA. 
HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA. A 
variety of the native H. arborescens, recently discov¬ 
ered. The heads of flowers are in shape like H. hor¬ 
tensis ; 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. pan¬ 
ic tdata grandiflora has lost its color this variety is still 
fresh, eventually turning to a light green and then 
brown. It is a graceful shrub and is destined to achieve 
the widest popularity. 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, first size plants, 50c. 
each, $5.00 per doz.; second size plants, 35c. each, 
$3.50 per doz.

tion. It attains a height of 4 to 6 feet; perfectly hardy 
in all parts of the country. The flowers are white when 
first open, but change to pink; they are borne in -im¬ 
mense pyramidal panicles, nearly a foot in length. It 
commences flowering in August and continues in bloom 
the rest of the season, the flowers drying on the bushes. 
It should be cut back every spring at least one-half of 
the last season’s growth. The grandest flowering shrub 
for lawn or cemetery planting in existence. (See cut.)
