For fragrance in early spring nothing can displace the Lilacs 
Hydrangea Hills of Snow; H. arborescens grandiflora 
When the shrub flowers of spring are gone, this Hydrangea, 
well named for its profusion of large, somewhat globular white 
flower heads, renews the floral display in June, brightening a 
scene that otherwise might fall into summer dullness. Cut the 
blooms off as they turn green and it will bloom a long time. 
In sunny situations the shoots are stronger, though it gives good 
results in partial shade or the north side of a building. Pruning 
nearly to the ground each spring keeps the bushes dense and 
rather round, witha height of 3 to 5 ft. The new shoots bear 
jthe flowers, and the more they are cut back the stronger the 
growth and the larger the flower heads. Give it fertile soil and 
plenty of water while blooming.

Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora; Peegee 
It produces the largest flower heads and is one of the most 
showy shrubs of August. The large, compact, cone-shaped clus- 
ters are white, becoming pale pink with age, the pink varying 
with the season, finally bronze. Grows 5 to 7 ft. high. Should 
have a sunny situation. Pruning in early spring, removing the 
weak shoots and severely cutting back the stronger, increases 
the size of the flower clusters. It should have fertile soil and 
plenty of water while blooming.

Lilacs; Syringa 
The objection to the old common lilacs was that they are slow 
about commencing to bloom. The newer Hybrid Lilacs bloom 
young, often the year after planting if given suitable conditions, 
are more varied in color and more dwarf. For fragrance and 
freedom of bloom in latter April, nothing can surpass lilacs. 
They are suited for distant effects, for planting in corners or at 
the boundaries of the lawn, as screens, massed in groups and for 
specimen plants. Full sun with good air drainage is best, though 
they will stand a little morning and evening shade. Well drained 
soil, not too rich, gives a short-jointed growth that produces an 
abundance of flowers. Prune after blooming, a little each year 
resulting in well formed bushes and flowers well placed over the 
entire bush. The flower buds are formed in summer for the fol- 
lowing spring, so they should not suffer for lack of water at 
this time.
