Our finest flowering ornamental, low-grow¬ 
ing tree—^beautiful in bloom—beautiful in 
foliage — beautiful in fruit. In spring it is 
simply covered with the fragrant, bright 
pink flowers. In late summer and fall, the 
clusters of small fruits turn a bright red 
(these fruits make very fine jelly). The 
foliage is a rich maroon. It is perfectly 
hardy, easy to grow, growing even on the 
poorest soil with scarcely any care or at¬ 
tention.

HOPA—Our finest flowering tree 
GIANT BLUE HYDRANGEA 
A shrub, not new, but rare, which freely produces its glorious 
blue flowers on immense heads nearly as large as this entire page. 
It thrives in almost full shade and likes an acid soil, so plant it 
in the top soil gathered from the woods. In severe sections it 
should have some winter protection. Undoubtedly the finest of 
all blue-flowering shrubs. Our special price— 
Each $1.00, 3 for $2.65 Postpaid.
