BEAUTIFUL Blue Ibydrangea 
$55 Blue Hydrangea. We offer a new hardy strain, which has im- 
mense flower heads, often a foot across, that last for many weeks. In 
ordinary soil the flowers are pink. In acid soil, they are blue. You can 
make your soil acid by mxing in one half Peat Moss (see page 6). Or 
you can water twice a month with a tablespoon of aluminum sulphate 
per gallon of water to make the color a rich blue. If you cannot get 
aluminum sulphate from your drug store we will send you some for 50¢ 
postpaid. 
Does best in partial shade. Grows only 3 to 4 feet tall making a well 
rounded shrub just as wide. A group of 2 or 3 will enhance the beauty of 
a picture window in your home. Where winter temperature goes below 
zero give protection just like roses by mounding up 10 to 12 inches of 
soil around the plant before severe freezing weather. We do not recom- 
mend planting north of central Iowa. Our plants are well rooted field 
grown (not small greenhouse potted plants). Becomes more popular 
each passing year.

Hardiest Magnoli 
T 18 Magnolia, Soulangeana—This is the hardiest Magnolia and many 
consider it the most beautiful of all flowering trees. People drive for miles 
to see them in bloom. One of the first trees to bloom in early spring, the 
delightfully fragrant flowers appear before the leaves. The blossoms are 
very large, often 8 inches across, purple-pink on the outside and white on 
the inside. Grows only 10 to 12 feet tall and starts blooming very young, 
often the same year planted. There are several fine specimens in Hamburg 
and in Omaha, Nebr. But we think this is the northern limit, as it requires 
sheltered locations here. In Missouri, most of Kansas, southeast Nebraska, 
Oklahoma, all Illinois except northwest part, Indiana, Ohio, and east, most 
of Michigan, all the southern states, it is marvelous.
