Hibiscus
Althea, or Rose of Sharon
The Hibiscus, or Altheas, are fine, free-
growing, flowering shrubs of the easiest cultivation. Very desirable on account of blooming in August and September, when scarcely
any other tree or shrub is in blossom. Nearly
all the Altheas require protection in this locality.

Hippophae
Sea Buckthorn
Rhamnoides. A very ornamental shrub on account of
its foliage, which is elongated,
grayish white in color and
similar to the Russian Olive.
The foliage gives a striking
effect in masses. The bushes
grow 8 to 12 feet high. They
bear clusters of orange-colored
berries in the fall. Must be
severely pruned when transplanted. Responds well in
almost any kind of soil.
Hydrangea
Arborescens alba grandiflora. Snowball Hydrangea. A splendid new variety with
large, pure white flowers. It commences to
bloom just after the flowering season of the
early spring shrubs and continues until late
in August.
Paniculata grandiflora. Familiar to almost
everyone as the most conspicuous shrub in
any collection during midsummer and early
fall. Its massive plumes of white flowers
bend the branches with their weight, changing finally to pink and green. It delights in
rich soil, plenty of water and lots of sunshine. It requires close pruning in early
spring before the leaves appear. Cut back at
least one-half of the previous year's growth
or even almost to the ground. In this manner it will produce fewer flowers but much
larger and finer panicles. It always responds
to good treatment.
Hypericum • St. John's Wort
Prolificum. A hardy, low-growing, dense
shrub of fine, symmetrical form, seldom exceeding 2 or 3 feet in height. The yellow
flowers are borne profusely in July, August
and September. Especially adapted to foreground planting.
Snowball Hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens alba grandiflora)
