Hydrangeas 
FOR GROWING ON AND LINING OUT 
We are one of the largest growers of young Hydrangeas in 
America, and for 1938 will have approximately 150,000 plants 
to offer. These young plants are of late summer and early 
fall propagation, and are carried through the winter months 
in cool houses. Plants of this grade are greatly superior to
