Hydrangea, Ever blooming 
AmAri/'rrn Snowball Hydrangea. 
Reaches a height of 5 ft. 
and spreads out over 5 to 6 ft. in a 
pretty bush form. Flowers of dazzling 
white begin to appear in June, and under 
normal conditions this Hydrangea will 
bloom repeatedly during summer and 
early fall. In dry weather watering of 
Hydrangeas should never he neglected, 
and for the winter the best protection you 
can give Hydrangeas, in fact any shrub, 
is a heavy soaking of the ground before 
it freezes up. This Hydrangea does best 
in partial shade. It combines most ef¬ 
fectively if Spirea Anthony Waterer (also 
an everbloomer) is used as a foreground, 
this Spirea being proportionately lower 
in growth and blooming red against the 
pure white of the Hydrangea. 12-18 inch 
plants, 32c each; 3 for 90c; 10 for $2.80. 
2-3 ft. very nice shrubs, 55c each; 3 for 
$1.50; postpaid. 
Hydrangea P a n i c u 1 a t a 
See photo below of 
Urandlllora this Hydrangea as it 
grows normally. It reaches a height of 
5 feet. The blossoms of this Hydrangea 
are of unusually large size; when they 
first appear in August they are of a 
pure white color; they last until middle 
to end of September, and as they remain 
on the bush they gradually turn to a pink 
and keep this color until frost in the fall. 
Partly shady places, and occasional wa¬ 
tering to keep the ground from getting 
too dry are of great benefit to all Hy¬ 
drangeas. In groups or as single speci¬ 
mens you will like Hydrangeas. 12 to 18 
inch plants, 32c each; 3 for 90c; 10 for 
$2.80. 2-3 ft. nice shrubs, 55c each; 3 for 
$1.50; postpaid.

Also called '‘Winter- 
berry," of the Ilex 
plant family, and the 
only one of these pret¬ 
ty shrubs that is hardy in 
the Middle West and the 
East. The showy red ber¬ 
ries are very attractive clear 
into the winter, as they 
cling to the branches. The 
shrub grows slow, eventu¬ 
ally reaching a height of 
8 to 10 feet, and shapely at 
all stages. 12 to 18 inch nice 
plants, 50c each; postpaid. 
Smoke Tree £ V e * ? 
Purple. See photo lower 
right. Rhus Cotinus. 10 to 
12 ft. tall. The blossoms of 
this shrub look like puffs of 
smoke, and they are built up 
of larg ■ loose panicles bear¬ 
ing very small purple flow¬ 
ers. The entire blossom be¬ 
comes profusely plumose, at¬ 
taining their attractive 
smoky appearance. Blooms 
through the entire summer. 
The shrub is entirely hardy, 
it is a good grower, branch¬ 
ing out nicely to a 
shape. Of particular 
value is the glossy 
green foliage, in itself 
very pretty, and 
bringing out extra 
well the exquisite ef¬ 
fect of the flowers.
