HYDRANGEAS 
Along in June, just before the summer sun really gets to 
work, the huge panicles of hydrangeas put on their colorful 
Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. Hydrangea hortensis grows 
faster and larger than the French and German hybrids but 
both the panicles and individual florets are fewer and 
smaller. We have counted over 200 individual florets on 
single panicles of some of the better hybrids. Easily grown 
in most any shaded spot. Provide plenty of water. 
Prices: 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 40c.
