An upright shrub growing to a height of eight feet with large 
bright green leaves and heads of white flowers borne in early 
summer and lasting until fall. Best results are obtained when

larly attractive in that season.

purple flowers in September. During hard winters the tops die 
back but the roots are perfectly hardy and send up new shoots 
in spring. It grows to five feet and its bushy growth makes beau¬ 
tiful low hedges. 
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora 
PEEGEE HYDRANGEA 
Undoubtedly the most popular variety of hydrangea and 
one of the showiest shrubs in cultivation. The large panicles of 
flowers are white when first appearing in early summer; later 
they take on shades of pink and bronze as the season progresses. 
The shrub requires severe pruning in early spring to insure the 
largest trusses of flowers. Grows from four to six feet high. 
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora

has been trimmed and cultivated to a tree form. These trees have 
heads about three to four feet from the ground.

and flower. It is rapidly growing in favor with its large lobed 
leaves resembling oak and which turn wine colored in fall. The 
loose clusters of well defined flowers open in early summer and 
finally turn purple. An excellent plant for low underplanting and 
shade.
