FRENCH HYBRID HYDRANGEA 
DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
The flowering shrubs listed in this group will lose their leaves for a 
short time each year but never for tong periods. They are the hardi- 
est of shrubs, withstanding heat and cold. In fact, their extreme 
hardiness makes them desirable for mountain homes. Others be- 
cause they are not so large can be used where definite height of 
growth is a consideration in the garden. Many produce showy 
flowers, without which the garden would lack much in interest and 
sparkle.
