shrub border. It is attractive and upright, has bright 
green leaves, and oroduces large, creamy white flowers. 
H. arborescens grandiflora. Hills-of-Snow. 4 to 5 ft. An 
excellent plant for low, solid borders or in foundation

completely covers the compact, round-headed shrub. 
H. paniculata grandiflora. PeeGee Hydrangea. 8 to 19 ft. 
This old garden favorite has the largest clusters of flowers 
of all the shrubs. In July the plant is a mass of these 
large, pure white, long-lived blooms. If planted in rich 
soil and pruned back each spring before the leaf-buds 
open, they will grow to be compact and bushy and will 
produce large flower clusters. They are extremely 
showy when kept uniform in growth. 
H. quercifolia. Oakleaf Hydrangea. 3 to 4 ft. With foliage 
similar in form to an oak leaf, this shrub is a rich dark 
green in summer and a claret color in the fall. It is a 
daintier appearing plant than are the other Hydrangeas. 
Large panicles of dingy pinkish white flowers are pro¬ 
duced in midsummer. It thrives in the sun or the shade. 
HYPERICUM aureum. Golden St. Johns-Wort. 3 to 4 ft.

foliage make this plant effective as a border. It is more 
woody than most of the species and of a stiff, dense 
habit.

low-growing shrub which spreads rapidly from under¬ 
ground suckers, making it a fine ground-cover under 
shrubs. Its bright yellow flowers are showy and desirable.
