24. Better Shrubs 

Hydrangea 
Woody shrubs with coarse, heavy leaves, blooming in late 
summer, their showy white flowers changing to pinkish 
brown. They succeed in most situations and are indifferent 
to soil or climate. Pruning should be done in early spring 
if necessary, as Hydrangeas differ from most shrubs in pro- 
ducing their flowers on new wood. 
Hydrangea arborescens grandiflora Snowhill Hydrangea 
Its large clusters of pure snow-white flowers, averaging 4 to 5 inches 
in diameter, appear from June to the middle of September. Suitable 
for shady or sunny positions. Few plants will bloom as well in shade.
