A fine hardy shrub HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA, Perfectly hardy in all sections of the country, very easy to grow, not one plant in a thousand will fail to grow and bloom the first year if given ordinary care. The flowers will be larger and finer if given good rich soil, but it will grow and flower well in almost any soil or situation. The flowers are in immense large panicles, creamy white when first open, changing to pure white when fully out, and turning pink and bronze with age. Commences to flower in July and remains in flower until November. The plant should be cut back each Spring, fully one-half the past season's growth, as the flowers are much finer treated in this way. For cemetery planting we know of nothing as desirable, and for large "awns should be planted in groups of a dozen to two dozen each. 15c. each, 50c. for 4; strong flowering plants 25c. each, 60c. for 3, $1.00 for 6; extra strong, by express, 40c. each, $1.00 for 3, $2.oo for 7.

A handsome, shapely, silver-leaved shrub, with ornamental reddish brown bark in winter; perfectly hardy and easy to grow. Bright yellow flowers in June on long stalks, but the greatest value of the shrub is in the fruit which is produced in the greatest abundance along the whole length of the branches; oval in shape and about one-half inch long; color, deep orange red, very showy and attractive. The fruit is not only very ornamental, but has a sprightly, sharp, pleasant flavor, and makes a delicious sauce when cooked. One of the most valuable ornamental berry bearing shrubs, and should be largely planted. 20c, 6 for $i.oo. HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. PHILADELPHUS OR MOCK ORANGE. Aurea.
