a fine old home which once belonged to a clipper ship captain, one of 
P us observed a magnificent specimen of the blue Hydrangea opuloides. 
1 i The coloring is a deep and intense blue never observed in the tender 
Such Hortensis varieties, now extensively in use by florists and commonly seen 
in gardens. Upon request the owner permitted us to take some cut- 
tings of this beautiful plant which he told us his father had brought 
the from China. We have multiplied these cuttings and can now offer 
Dale a fine lot of flowering plants. We recommend slight protection in the 
colder section of the country. Grow in sun or light shade. Allow two 
feet square for each plant. Do not use lime, it seriously affects the

Nin sulphate to ten square feet, making 3 or 4 applications as needed with
