HYDRANGEA 
Woody shrubs with coarse heavy leaves, blooming in late summer, 
their showy white flowers changing to pinkish brown. They succeed 
in most situations and are indifferent to soil or climate. Pruning 
should be done in early spring if necessary, as Hydrangeas differ 
from most shrubs in producing their flowers on new wood.

This variety is exceedingly well known, being in almost every 
garden. Its large, conical heads of white flowers become pink 
and red with age. It should have plenty of water, and be

ROSE OF SHARON 
An erect, sturdy, treelike shrub 10 to 12 feet high, with a 
broad head and rather formal appearance. It produces large, showy 
flowers in August at a time when few other shrubs are in bloom.

in all soils. The use of lime will somewhat overcome ‘its slight 
tenderness in northern New England.
