New Forcing Hydrangea 
Arborescens Grandiflora Alba 
or “Hills of Snow” 
Here we offer the finest plants to force in pots that has ever 
been sent out. We forced some the past spring as a trial. We 
wanted them for Decoration Day. They were all in bloom, 
every stem having an enormous flower, many of the trusses of 
flower heads being over a foot across, of the purest paper- 
white. Our word for it, no plant of any kind will make you 
the money this plant will. It is simply a wonder. We have a 
fine stock to offer, suitable for forcing the coming spring. This 
Hydrangea is absolutely hardy everywhere. 
For lining out, field-grown plants, eight to ten inches, 60 
cents per dozen; $4.50 per hundred; $40.00 per thousand. 
The following sizes for forcing or for immediate sales: 
Select field-grown plants, $1.25 per dozen; $8.00 per hun¬ 
dred; $75.00 per thousand. 
Extra select field-grown plants, $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per 
hundred; $90.00 per thousand.
