“merritt’s beauty” 
(PATENT APPLIED FOR) 
Early Dark Carmine Red 
Joseph S. Merritt, the introducer of this exceptional new 
variety, says of it: “‘merritt's beauty’ has been well re- 
ceived by all Hydrangea growers—ask your neighbor. 
He knows that it is the outstanding Hydrangea of the year. 
You cannot afford to be without it next Spring. We have 
‘merritt's beauty’ in large quantities in all sizes for forcing 
next Spring and as small plants for growing on. They are 
priced right.” 
Norwood 
(NOT PATENTED) 
An outstanding early deep pink Hydrangea introduced by 
the Robert Craig Co. We have these in all sizes and in 
quantity. 
Don't fail to include “merritt’s beauty” and Norwood in 
your Hydrangea requisition. They will, we believe, create 
a sensation throughout the trade when generally known.
