The New French Hydrangeas 
Let 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 Philadelphia 
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 gradu¬ 
ally. They are very easy to 
manage. Anyone can bring 
them into flower. The varie¬ 
ties we offer are the cream of 
the lot. Price, except where 
noted, two and one-quarter-inch 
pot«, 60 cents per dozen; $4.00 
per hundred. Three-Inch pots, 
$1.00 per dozen; $6.00 per 
hundred. 
AVALANCHE —A splendid 
large white, which has made 
a reputation for itself during 
the past two seasons. An 
easy variety to foree. 
BOUQUET ROSE —Large trusses of well-formed flowers, 
rosy-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-oolored flowers. A splendid 
early forcing variety. 
Collection of French Hydrangeas. 
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 ac¬ 
quisition. If you desire a beautiful deep blue Hydran¬ 
gea flower get this one. 
MLLE. RENEE GAILLARD —Very large panicles of milky- 
white, irregularly dentated flowers, which are certain 
to become popular; it is entirely distinct. One of the 
best growers of Hydrangeas says that this variety should 
really have been awarded the silver medal given to 
Mme. Emile Mouillere last 
year as the best white. 
MME. MAURICE HAMAR—A 
delicate flesh-rose color; a 
vigorous grower, the Indi¬ 
vidual 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 
variety in the New York 
market this year; very free 
flowering, of good size and 
form. Awarded silver med¬ 
al at the National Flower 
Show at Boston last year. 
A great favorite with Eng¬ 
lish growers, one London 
grower known to us handl¬ 
ing over thirty thousand of 
this variety alone.
