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, $1.75; gal. containers, 50c.

plants should be interested in this fragrant foliaged beauty.

appearance through all seasons. Clusters of buttercup yellow 
flowers, with mild sweet fragrance, are an added attraction

SWEET SPIRE 
Itea ilicifolia. Holly-leaved Sweet Spire. Has everything 
that English Holly has, except the berries, and other excel-

indoor decorating hold up amazingly well. We endorse this 
shrub, heartily. Sun or part shade. Hardy. 5-7 ft. Balled,

grance but with a smooth, sweet permeating perfume. It is 
one of those delightful plants you smell before you see and 
are not satisfied until you have discovered it. Evergreen and 
hardy except in very cold locations. 3 ft. 5-gal. containers,
