HYDRANGEAS 
1942 Introductions 
NORWOOD. Deep pink and early. Sport of Gertrude Glahn. 
One of the sturdiest and best growers of any Hydrangea in 
existence. A free bloomer and holds its flowers longer than 
any Hydrangea we have ever seen. It is going to be a great 
commercial variety.

“MERRITT’S BEAUTY” (Pat. applied for) Carmine Red and Early. 
Stands out among all varieties due to its unusual brilliance. 
It has a very strong stem and when properly grown should 
not require staking. It's early, easy to force and very free 
flowering. 
“Merritts Beauty” is good by actual tests. 
“Merritts Beauty” will certainly make good.
