Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora 
HYDRANGEA 
Gorgeous Summer and Fall Blooming 
Hydrangeas are Showy Favorites for the 
Landscape 
Grand, free-flowering shrubs with 
large panicles of showy flowers. They 
are admirably adapted for border 
planting, either as specimen plants or 
masses. A moist, fertile soil is best 
adapted to their requirements. 
BUSH HYDRANGEA, PEE GEE (Paniculata 
Grandiflora). A magnificent landscape shrub, 
and exceedingly popular. From August until 
late autumn, the shapely plant is loaded 
with large, globe-shaped blooms, at first 
white, turning to a delicate tinge of pink at 
the first frost, then light bronze, lasting 
for several months. Very hardy, liking best 
a moist, sunny location; in beds or masses 
they make a glorious picture, while in 
foundation groups they are superb. 3 to 5 
feet at maturity.

LILAC - Syringa 
Without the Beauty and Fragrance of the Lilacs Springtime Would be Robbed of Half its Charm 
COMMON PURPLE (Vulgaris). Easily the fa¬ 
vorite of the old-time flowers, and because of 
their hardy, dependable nature and their exqui¬ 
site blooms, they will always be popular. Grows 
8 to 10 feet. 
COMMON WHITE (Alba). White-flowering 
form of the above. 
CHINESE (J. Hers). It is the dwarfest of all 
Lilacs in that it only grows 3 to 4 feet high, 
with about the same spread, with a graceful, 
drooping habit. Like the Persian Lilac, its 
leaves are much smaller than those of the com¬ 
mon Lilacs. The flowers are a reddish purple 
color, fading to pale lavender. It blooms very 
heavily in June, with intermittent flowers during 
the summer. 
PERSIAN (Persica). A distinct va¬ 
riety from the common Lilac in 
that it has smaller leaves and 
slender, upright branches. It grows 
6 to 8 feet. The pinkish lavender 
flowers are borne in large, loose 
panicles, often a foot long. Usu¬ 
ally in full bloom for Decoration 
Day. A very graceful shrub. 
VILLOSA (Late Lilac). Stout, 
warty branches carried almost up¬ 
right, and dull green leaves give 
this variety a distinctive appear¬ 
ance. The pinkish flowers are 
borne in broad panicles 3 to 6 
inches long. Two weeks later than 
other Lilacs. 
Our Choice French Lilacs 
The named sorts are much superior to 
the old type of Common Purple and 
White, and they bloom when plants are 
much younger. The blooms are extremely 
large, most of them double, colors varied 
and beautiful, and with a fragrance more 
delightful even than you will find in the 
old-fashioned Lilac. Grows 6 to 8 feet. 
BELLE DE NANCY. Large, double flowers of a 
charming pinkish tint. 
ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA (Hills of 
Snow). Quite similar in appearance to a 
low-growing snowball, as it produces large 
clusters of white blooms. Especially adapted 
for border plantings, and if placed in large 
masses it produces a literal sea of bloom in 
late summer and early fall. The bright green 
leaves add much to its decorative form. Pre¬ 
fers a moist fertile soil, with full or partial 
exposure to the sun. It will even make 
good growth in complete shade. 
TREE HYDRANGEA, PEE GEE (Paniculata 
Grandiflora). A small, 5 to 6 ft. tree form 
of the Paniculata. 
ILEX - Holly 
VERTICILLATA (Common Winterberry). 
Will grow in swampy ground. In fall and 
winter the brilliant scarlet berries are valu¬ 
able, attracting birds and being fine for in¬ 
terior decorations. 6 feet high.
