Shrubs, continued 
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora: Peegee 
It produces the largest flower heads and is one of the most 
showy shrubs of August. The large, compact, cone-shaped 
clusters are white, becoming pale pink with age, the pink 
varying with the season, finally bronzy. Grows 5 to 7 ft. high. 
Pruning in early spring, removing weak shoots and severely 
cutting back the stronger, increases the size of the flower 
clusters; should have a sunny situation, fertile soil and plenty 
of water while blooming.

Lilacs; Syringa 
For fragrance and freedom of bloom in latter April, nothing 
can surpass lilacs. The newer Hybrid varieties bloom young, 
often the year after planting. They are suitable for distant 
effects, for planting in corners or at the boundaries of the 
lawn, as screens, massed in groups and as specimen plants. 
Full sun with good air drainage is best though they will stand 
a little morning and evening shade. Well drained soil, not 
too rich, gives a short-jointed growth that produces an abun- 
dance of flowers. A little pruning each year after blooming 
results in well formed bushes and flowers well placed ‘over 
the entire bush. As the flower buds for next April are formed 
in summer, do not allow them to suffer for lack of water at 
that time.
