Hydrangea paniculata ‘Bobo’ – A very floriferous compact growing Peegee type. Excellent for foundation plantings and small spaces. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Firelight’ and the compact ‘Firelight Tidbit’ – In our opinion the best paniculatas with white blooms fading to pomegranate red. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’ and ‘Little Lime’– An extraordinary paniculata that boasts large lime green flowers. This vigorous grower has sturdy stems. which make it an excellent cut flower. Both tree and shrub forms available. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Pink Diamond’ – Tall, airy panicles of creamy flowers opening in late summer turning pink and then a deep shade of rose. Tree and shrub forms available. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Pinky Winky’ – This new selection exhibits outstanding large, strong-stemmed upright white blooms, quickly turning a pleasing shade of pink. Lengthy bloom period and great growth habit make this new selection one of the best. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Quick Fire’ and ‘Little Quick Fire’– An early-flowering selection with pure white bloom quickly turning reddish pink and remaining effective for months. Excellent new selection in tree and shrub forms. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Vanilla Strawberry’ – Enormous flower heads of a blend of vanilla and strawberry. Plants grow upright, cascading later in the season. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Unique’ – Large flowering selection creates an outstanding floral display from late summer into fall. Hydrangea arborescens – Compact early blooming, durable and adaptable. Selections include ‘Annabelle’, ‘Hayes Starburst’, ‘Incrediball’, ‘Invincibelle Spirit II’ , ‘Invincibelle Ruby’ and ‘Invincibelle Wee White’. Hydrangea macrophylla – ‘Hass Halo’, ‘Mini Mauvette’ and ‘Twist ’n’ Shout’ – These are the hardiest and most reliable re-bloomers developed yet, with violet blue to pink blooms, lovely red stems and red fall color. Hydrangea petiolaris – Spectacular shade-tolerant climbing vine with attractive rich green foliage, reddish shredding bark and fragrant white flowers through summer into fall. Our favorite flowering vine. Hydrangea quercifolia – Oakleaf Hydrangea. Selections include ‘Ruby Slippers’, and ‘Snow Queen’. Outstanding in woodland gardens or partial shade. Field-grown and container plants available. Hydrangea serrata – ‘Blue Billows’, ‘Tuff Stuff ’ and our favorite ‘Tiny Tuff Stuff ’. These are the hardiest and most reliable of the lace caps.

“Hey there! I’m Snorkel, a sweet, lovable and very excitable Pittie man. I was surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of my own, as my owner’s allergies to me were just too much for them. I am an energetic young man who would love an active home to go out to explore and play, but also come home to snuggle and relax. While I love every human I meet, I would do best with teens 13+ as I don’t always know my strength when I get excited. I am not reactive to other dogs, but once I’m near one, I try to dominate them. Because of this, it would be best if I was the only pet in the household. If you are interested in meeting me, or would like some more information, please call the kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126, or email at canineservices@berkshirehumane.org.”

Digital advertising is a vital part of any organization's marketing strategy, and the Shopper's Guide offers a solution for all of your digital marketing needs.

advertising on the Shopper’s Guide website reaches...

LEADERBOARD AD 728 PX X 90 PX

MEDIUM BOX AD

Second Homeowners in the Area

300 PX X 250 PX

And Area Classified Advertisers Those folks, whose hard-earned dollars swell the till of your cash register during the season, stay in touch with life in the Berkshires and Taconics by way of the website shoppersguideinc.com. The attraction? The commercial conversation we have among ourselves on the pages of every issue of the Shopper’s Guide. It turns out that the area’s second homeowners, be they in Brooklyn or Brookline, want to listen in.

MEDIUM BOX AD 300 PX X 250 PX

You can reach this very special audience through an ad on the Shopper’s Guide website. A 728 x 90px leaderboard ad or a 300 x 250px medium box ad are priced right. Sold by the thousands of impressions, either a leaderboard or a medium box ad will connect you with just the customer you seek. And like radio, both ads can be “dayparted” to reach early risers, midday movers, or late-afternoon shakers, ready to spend their money on the goods or service you oﬀer. 413.528.0095 OR BRAD@SHOPPERSGUIDEINC.COM WWW.SHOPPERSGUIDEINC.COM 271 MAIN STREET, GREAT BARRINGTON, MA
