of white flowers during the summer, changing to pink in the autumn. Well 
branched, 2 to 3 ft. trees, 90c each; 3 for $2.45. 
OAK-LEAF HYDRANGEA _ @vcransea Quercifolia). A rather 
uncommon shrub, with handsome, 
artistically shaped, three-lobed green leaves measuring 4 inches across; in- 
dented, and somewhat ruffled, not unlike the foliage of some gigantic oak. Its 
pyramidal white flower panicles 8 to 12 inches in length, majestic and showy, are 
similar to those of Hydrangea paniculata. Blooms in July; but particularly valu- 
able for the brilliant autumn coloring of its foliage. Grows 4 to 5 feet tall. Does 
well in shade. Heavy, 2-yr., 18 to 24 in. bushes, only 40c each; 2 for 70c. 
GIANT BLUE HYDRANGEA | (Hydrangea opuloides). A 
shrub not new, but rare; 
which freely produces its glorious blue flowers on immense heads. Blooms pink 
flowers on the one-year wood, followed by blue flowers on the 2-year stems. 
Give slight winter protection in colder sections. Do not plant in alkaline soils, 
as this seriously affects the coloring, unless soil is made acid by mixing one 
pound aluminum sulphate to ten square feet; or better yet, mix a liberal quantity 
of Sodus Acid Humus in the planting soil, to develop the marvelous blue color 
to best advantage. Well developed, 12 to 18 in. bushes, 90c each; 3 for $2.50. 
(Syringa persica), A great im- 
PERSIAN PURPLE LILAC provement over the Common Pur- 
ple Lilac. A shrub with slender, arching branches, attaining a height of six to 
eight feet at maturity. Foliage is small, with upright clusters of bright purple 
flowers. A more profuse bloomer than the common variety, and making only a 
few sprouts from the roots. Well branched, 2 to 3 ft. bushes, 30c each: 2 for 50c; 
or 10 for only $2.25. 
A few choice, heavy 3 to 4 ft. specimens, 50c each; 3 for $1.25. 
SMOKE TREE OR PURPLE 
FRINGE (Rhus Cotinus). One of the most 
picturesque and unusual of the 
small ornamental trees. Its beautiful foliage of 
dense green is surmounted in autumn with loose, 
feathery masses of tiny blue flowers, giving the 
entire tree the appearance of a dense cloud of 
smoke—a truly beautiful sight on any lawn. Do 
not confuse this with Cotinoides, an inferior south- 
ern species, frequently offered, but which is not 
the true Smoke Tree, and which is always un- 
satisfactory. Our stock is guaranteed true Rhus 
Cotinus—all Michigan grown, and well worth 
our price for strong, 2-yr. 18 to 24 in. bushes, 
only 45c each; 3 for $1.20; 10 for $3.45.
