Our Great He\tf Hydrangeas. For tubs or bedding what is more beautiful or classy than big bushy Hydrangeas standing in large pots or tubs adorning porches, verandas or the lawn. They are easily grown and any one can have them who will plant the follow- ing superb new sorts. They are also fine for bedding out in summer, and produce clusters of bloom by the score, as large as a man's hat. Winter piants in a cellar or pit. Sea Shell—Possibly this is the most magnificent of all pot plants. It is a new color running to a most exquisite soft Sea Shell pink or a blue tinted pink or a pink tinted blue, there being some variations.
