_ THE CRIMSON RAMBLER.

ROSE, CRIMSON RAMBLER, GROWN AS A POT PLANT.

NEW HARDY VARIEGATED ROSE.

ROGER LAMBELIN.

(Greatly reduced in price for this season.)

One of the most remarkable Roses yet offered. The
petals are irregular on the edges like a double Petunia;
the color is glowing crimson throughout, except the
edges of the petals, which are all distinctly marked with
a white band, forming a sharp contrast and the most
unique combination of colors known in Roses. The
growth is free and vigorous and the fragrance is delight-
ful, equal to the finest of the hardy Roses. This is a
“‘novelty ” of the most strikin g order. (See cut.) Price,
plants from 3-inch pots, $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.

COMTESSE DE BRETEUIL.

A grand new Tea Rose of French origin that will be
of great value for outdoor bedding from its fine growth
and splendid flowers. It is of very vigorous growth,
but dwarf and compact; flowers medium to large in
size, with petals of good substance, Color salmon-rose,
center bright rose, shaded with apricot; beautiful glo-
bular buds and very fragrant. Price, plants from 3-inch
pots, $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.

THE MANY-COLORED ROSE,
INCONSTANT BEAUTY.

Plant strong and vigorous,
) It is a true Tea Rose, conse-
quently ever-blooming and deliciously fragrant. Price,
plants from 3-inch pots, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

The New Hardy Climbing Rose.
Magnificent Trusses of Rich Crimson Flowers.

The new hardy Japanese climbing Rose, ‘“‘ Crimson Rambler,” is one that
we offer to our customers, after a year’s trial, with greater confidence in
its merits. It came to this country heralded as a wonder among flowers,
but the most extravagant praises yet bestowed on it fall short of doing it
ample justice. The judges at one of the principal flower shows in England,
when awarding it a Gold Medal, the highest honor they could bestow,
epitomized the views of all who had seen it when they said that the ordi-
nary premiums reserved for new Roses of the highest grade were entirely
inadequate to indicate the merits of the ‘‘Crimson Rambler.” At every
exhibition throughout Great Britain where it was shown it received the
highest honors, and this opinion was endorsed. The National Rose Society
of England, the National Horticultural Society of France and the Interna-
tional Exposition awarded Gold Medals to “‘ Crimson Rambler.”

It is of rapid, vigorous growth; plants in our grounds attained a height
of fifteen feet the past season. The flowers are produced in trusses, pyra-
midal in shape, good specimens measuring nine inches from base to tip,
and seven inches across, fairly covering the plant from the ground to the
top, so that it is one mass of glowing crimson. The color is superb,
and remains strong and vivid to the end; plantsin our grounds retained
the bloom for two months. The profusion of bloom is marvelous. A cor-
respondent of the London Garden stated that on one shoot he counted
over three hundred blooms. It is essentially a garden Rose, but makes a
magnificent specimen in a pot or tub. It is adapted to the entire country,
and should be in every garden in America,

PRICES :—Strong plants, from 3-inch pots, $1.50 per doz., $12.00 per
100. Strong plants from 2-inch pots, $1.25 per doz. ; $8.00 per 100.

largest size, having the ever-blooming qualities of the
Tea Rose with the delicious odor of the Damask or Moss
Rose, consequently equally valuable for winter or
summer flowering. The flowers of this grand Rose are

fragrant, a strong healthy grower. The beautiful, perfectly- Yy }
shaped flowers are borne in profusion on long stems, so that it is

ee atten A seedling from that premier Bedding Rose,
A\4, 08) / Clothilde Soupert, of which we have spoken so
highly, and which will be found elsewhere in
this catalogue. ‘‘Pink Soupert” inherits all
the grand garden qualities of its parent and is
a clear pink throughout, bright and attractive ;

the coloring deepens in some flowers to cherry
red, and in others it lessens to light clear pink.

The profusion of bloom is wonderful, : the
whole plant being a mass of flowers. No Rose
can possibly excel this for outdoor bedding,
and none can be more attractive. Itis compact
and sturdy in habit, and so hardy for an ever-
blooming Rose that it will remain out all winter
safely with slight protection. Price, plants
from 3 in. pots, $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100.

BARONNE BERGE.

We cordially indorse this beautiful Rose as
one of the best in the entire list of new varieties
for general purposes. The flowers are medium
to large size and are produced in abundance.
The color is unique—a vivid rose, with bright
yellow in the center. It is a vigorous and
thrifty grower,fand will surely take a place
among the best roses. Price, plants from 38 in.

A Groene New Ever- blooming Rose,
Princess Alice de Monaca (Weber).

A most charming new ever-blooming Rose, that must
take prominence for summer bedding, as its habit is per- y
fection, strong, upright growth, with clean, healthy foli- \ \ 1
age almost impervious to mildew. The flowers are pro- if «)
duced in wonderful profusion on long straight shoots, are Uk ©
deliciously fragrant, large size, double to the center and of ES ~ é
fine form, so that perfect flowers may be had during the : \ é :
hottest summer days. The coloring is exquisite, a creamy
white on the outside of the petals, with a faint rosy blush
on the edges. As the flowers expand they disclose a charm-
ing shade of opaline pink, deepening to rich blush. This
rose must not be confounded with another of the same
namefrom a French source. The Rose we offer was raised
by Mr. Weber in the Duchess of Monaca’s gardens. whose
Roses are famous throughout Europe. (See cut.) Price for
this grand new Rose, strong plants from 3 in. pots, $2.00
per doz.; $15.00 per 100.

>) New Pink Tea Garden Rose, Jé

- - - Maman Cochet...

A new Roseof French origin, destined, we believe, to find
a prominent place among the highest grade ever-bloom-
ing Roses both for summer and winter blooming. The
growth is free and vigorous, very free-blooming, flowers of
splendid substance and a delightful shade of deep pink.
The buds are long and pointed, full and firm, lasting a long
time when cut. As the flowers expand the center of the
Rose discloses depths of salmon pink, with light orange
tints, while the older petals lessen to pearl pink, giving a
combination of tints and tones unequaled in their beauty. — «\ ae es
Without question this is a charming Rose for the garden / CAI

KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA.

<The Finest White Ever-Blooming Garden Rose.
KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA.

A Hybrid Tea Rose, soft pearly white, lightly tinted with lemon in the
center, just enough to relieve the white ; remarkably fragrant, a strong
healthy grower, with bold beautiful foliage. The habit is free; the beau-
tiful, perfectly shaped flowers are borne in profusion on long graceful
stems, so that it will be invaluable for cut flowers. Professional florists
have been quick to perceive the great value of this peerless variety, and it
is now more eagerly sought after than almost any Rose on the market.
Since we offered this variety for sale we have received hundreds of letters
from all sections of the country praising it most highly and congratulating
us upon our judgment as originally expressed. It is not entirely hardy in
our northern latitudes. (See cut.) Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots,
$6.00 per 100.

The New Changeable Tea Rose.

. . . DUCHESS MARIE SALVIATI .. .

Flowers large and double and deliciously fragrant. ‘The coloring is
exquisite, being an orange chrome, lightened with rose and shaded with
yellow and tawny buff. It is beautiful, either in the bud or in the fully
expanded flower, and will be equally valuable for summer or winter bloom-
ing. Price, strong plants from 38 in. pots, $6.00 per 100; from 2 in. pots,
up to April 1, $4.00 per 100.

An Ever-blooming Rose of Rare Beauty.

GOLDEN GATE.

A promising Rose of American origin, and one that seems to be admira-
bly adapted to the needs of our climate. The flowers are large, very full,
and finely formed, and of excellent substance ; the buds are long and of a
most desirable form; the coloris rich creamy white, beautifully tinged
with fine golden yellow; the petals are large and broad, and exquisitely
bordered and tinted with clear rose, making altogether a Rose of rare
beauty. Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots, $6.00 per 100; from 2 in.
pots, up to April 1st, $4.00 per 100.

THE PEOPLE’S ROSE.
DUCHESSE DE BRABANT.

In the desire to obtain new varieties of Roses,
rosarians and dealers are too often prone to over-
look old standard sorts which are unquestionably
meritorious. Some sorts are too good to be
crowded to the wall by new aspirants for honors,
as witness the Gen. Jacqueminot, Marechal Niel,
La France, Malmaison and many others, and to
this class belongs the Duchesse de Brabant. Roses
come and go, but these go on forever.

Duchesse de Brabant unites in a pronounced
degree the highest attributes of a garden Rose ; it
is vigorous, never fails to produce flowers, healthy,
rarely diseased in any way, large full blossoms,
beautiful in the bud or open flower, a beauti-
ful shade of soft rosy flesh, deepening to warm
pink and bright rose, delightfully fragrant. Price,
strong plants from 3 in. pots, $6.00 per 100; from
2 inch pots, ready up to April 1st, $4.00 per 100.

THE “SENSATION” TEA ROSE.

= = CORINNAG SEs

The tints of color blended in the flowers of this
beautiful Rose render it so attractive and distinct
from all other Tea Roses that the blooms exhibited
have created quite a sensation. They are flesh
color, shaded with rose and suffused with tawny
copper; large size, full and of excellent shape,
very freely produced on strong stems. We feel
assured that for decorative purposes, cutting or
exhibition it is invaluable. The growth is vigor-
ous, and for a Tea Rose the plant is very hardy.
(See cut.) Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots,
$1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

be supplied after April 15th.

April 15th:

All grafted low on Brier stocks.

OR the second time we offer dormant Roses ; this is to satisfy a demand
from many customers for plants that can be planted outside early in
spring, before it is safe to set out plants that are growing in pots,

and consequently are in full leaf. The illustration shows the character of
the plants we supply ; also the method of planting and pruning them after
being planted. We can supply these from the time this catalogue is issued
up to April 15th, after that time they can only be supplied from pots, at the
prices quoted at the end of the list. If planted as shown in the illustration,
these Roses, although grafted, will emit roots where the true Rose joins
the Brier stock, and will eventually become established on their own roots.
The great value of these grafted Roses lies in the fact that they produce
better flowers and make stronger plants in a shorter period than those
grown from cuttings; and the advantage is that having no soil on the roots
and being dormant, they ure of little weight and can be sent cheaply by ex-
press or freight. Procure them early and store in a cool place until the

ground is ready for them.

CLIMBING NIPHETOS.

A “sport” from the dwarf ‘‘ Niphetos.” It is a true climbing variety, having
the same pure white, long-pointed buds as its parent, and is destined to become
opular as an outdoor climbing Rose—in the South especially, where it is per-
ectly hardy. Price, 3-inch pots, $12.00 per 100.

CLIMBING PERLE DES JARDINS.

This is a “‘sport”’ from ‘‘ Perle des Jardins,” having all the good qualities
which made its parent famous. The ‘‘ Climbing Perle” is a most rampant run-
ning Rose, For the South it will be particularly valuable, as it is entirely hardy
there, while for the conservatory it is invaluable. Price, 3-inch pots, $6.00 per

8 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—WHOLESALE PLANT LIST.

AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII.

Sometimes: called “‘Boston Ivy” and “‘Japan Ivy.”

No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing plant.
It is adapted to all situations, and transforms the humblest cot-
tage. It is entirely hardy in the most exposed places, attaining a
height of 20 to 30 feet in two or three years, clinging to stones,
brick or wood-work with the greatest tenacity. It is a great pro-
tection to houses, as the leaves lapping over each other like slates
on a roof effectually prevent rain from penetrating the walls.
For covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls, verandas,
etc., it has no equal, while its rapid growth and tenacious cling-
ing qualities make it a most desirable plant for staying up ter-
races. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, butin
fallit assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange,
so dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. We sold over 50,0U0
plants of this the past season, a large proportion of which were
used on churches and public buildings. Price, $10.00 per 100.

DOUBLE GOLDEN MARGUERITE,

(Anthemis Coronaria, fil. pl.)

Thousands of this valuable plant are now sold annually in the
New York market, being so attractive when in bloom that it sells
on sight. The flowers are clear golden yellow, it blooms without
cessation the entire season; in winter as well as in summer it is
ever covered with bloom. Each season’s experience with this
grand plant more than confirms the high opinion formed of it
when first sent out. $1.00 per doz.; $6.00 per 100.

ANEMONE WHIRLWIND.

; : : = A new semi-double form of Anemone Japonica Alba, which is
= ——— supposed to be a cross between this beautiful variety and A.
Japonica Rosea. In general style and habit it is identical with

SS ae
| the white Anemone. It is of the same strong habit of growth,
FW JAPA ESE APLE-LE VEN BUTILO | and is even more free-flowering than the original type. The
e flowers, which are 21g to 3 inches across, have several rows of

| pure white petals, and have the advantage of lasting much longer
(SOUVENIR DE BONN.) than the single varieties. We consider this a good acquisition,
and cannot recomniend it too highly. (See cut.) Price, $1.25 per
doz.: $8.00 per 100.

The above illustration was made from a plant in our grounds.

This is a strong rivaltoa Japanese maple; in fact, at first glance,
it might be mistaken for one. For massing in groups or in long
borders for single specimens, either in the garden or greenhouse, for any and
all decorative purposes, it cannot be surpassed. It is a moststriking decora-
tive foliage plant, with beautifully variegated leaves of good size, regularly
and evenly marked with white and green. Amid these leaves the gracefully
drooping orange-colored flowers are produced in great abundance, forming
a clear and brilliant contrast. (See cut.) Price, $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.

A grand contrast te this is STROBILANTHES offered tn
page 21.
ACALYPHA MOSAICA.

A beautiful variegated foliage bedding plant, much richer in color than the
finest Coleus; it can be used in the same way, and is certain to become popular
for ornamental and subtropical bedding. $1.50 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.

ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS NANUS.

One of the handsomest of our foliage plants. The leaves are a bright green,
are gracefully arched; and are as finely woven as the finest silken mesh; their
lasting qualities, when cut, are remarkable, retaining their freshness for weeks,
hence it ranks as the most valuable plant we have for this purpose, surpassing
Maiden Hair Ferns in grace, fineness of texture and richness of color. Strong
plants, from 2-inch pots, $6.00 per 100; from 3-inch pots, $8.00 per 100.

ASPARAGUS TENUISSIMUS.

Very fine filmy foliage. A handsome climbing plant for the window and a
very useful pot plant. $1.00 per doz.; $6.00 per 100.

ASPARAGUS SCANDENS DEFLEXUS.

A very pretty variety with glaucous green foliage of a drooping habit. Very
ornamental for a hanging basket in conservatory, when covered with its brilliant
red fruit. Strong plants, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

AMARYLLIS.

Beautiful flowering bulbs, which should find a place in every garden. They
force readily, are admirable for pot culture, and by proper care can be had in
bloom during the whole year.

Formosissima (Jacobean Lily). Crimson, blooming early in the summer.
$3.00 per doz.; $12.00 per 100.

Hybrids of Vittata, Red and white striped. $5.00 per doz.; $40.00 "perz100.

Johnsoni. Very large flower of a rich crimson scarlet color, striped with
white. $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100.

AZALEA INDICA.

Bougainvillea Sanderiana.

‘““We have grown this new
Bougainvillea in a greenhouse,
where it has continued flowering
for seven months, small and large
plants alike being covered with
blossoms. Even plants in thumb-
pots were laden with bloom. The
house in which our plants have
been cultivated has been a sheet
of flowers from May until Decem-
ber, and at the time of writing
(December 30th), the plants are
carrying thousands of their bril-
liant blossoms. -Many excellent
judges state that this will be a
favorite market plant, as it pro-
duces as freely as a Fuchsia its
dazzling rosy crimson flowers, last-
ing so long in perfection, and
produced in smallest pots, under
all conditions, in amazing pro-
fusion. We can with all confi-
dence recommend this grand
plant as a great acquisition.”—
(Introducer's description.) Price,
$3.00 per doz., $20.00 per 100.

TUBEROUS
All Selected Bulbs.

These are now the most popular plants for beds of summer flowers, or as pot
plants for the greenhouse, conservatory or sitting-room. Our bulbs are all sound,
well matured and of good size. For a time it was generally supposed that these
could not be grown in the open air with success, but extensive plantings of them in
various sections of the country have demonstrated their adaptability for this
purpose. Nothing can exceed the brilliancy of their colors, the delicacy of their
tints, the richness of their waxy flowers, the gorgeousness of their effect in masses,
or their graceful appearance in beds or borders. From the time the first blossom
appears until all growth is stopped by frost, they are never out of bloom. (See cut.)

BEGONIAS.

AZALEA INDICA.

For Easter Forcing.

We offer a very fine lot of Azaleas, comprising the most distinct and best
varieties in cultivation, embracing all shades of crimson, white, pink and rose color.
They are shapely specimens, well ‘‘ headed” double and single flowered and will make
splendid plants for Easter decoration. It is almost impossible to ship Azaleas when
in bloom and have them arrive in good condition, hence the necessity of procuring
them in advance before the buds open. Order Early.

These Azaleas have been grown especially for us by the largest grower in Belgium,
and the greatest care has been taken to ensure plants well set with buds, carefully
selected varieties that will be certain to please, and compact, shapely plants. By
special arrangement we are enabled to offer this grand stock at the following very low
rates. Vote the sizes.

“Araucaria Excelsa.
(Norfolk Island Pine.)

Various names have been sug-
gested for this grand plant to
properly convey to the mind the
appearance of it. Some have
called it the ‘‘ Christmas Tree
Palm” from its resemblance toa
Christmas tree ; others have called
it the ‘‘ Star Palm,’ because the
leaves are arranged to form a

_ perfect star, but no descriptive
name can give any adequate idea
of its beauty. It has deep green,
feathery foliage, arranged in
whorls, rising one above the other
at regular distances ; its symmetry
of form, grace and beauty of
foliage are unequaled in the vege-
table kingdom. It is easily grown
in the house and is highly orna-

‘The Queen of Gilt Edge Cannas,

VEEN CHARLOTTE.

A grand, large-flowered, ever-blooming French
Canna, with a distinct golden belt around each petal,
the center brilliant orange scarlet, with crimson tones.

When seen in groups the brilliancy of ‘‘Queen Char-
lotte” dazzles the eye with its brilliant scarlet crim-
son, massy gold and rich orange scarlet, separate and
distinct, yet blended as only Nature can blend and
harmonize in her own workshop and in her own way.

The plantis sturdy and compact, the blossoms stand
well above the handsome Musa-like green foliage, yet
not too high ; each main flower shoot is succeeded by
many side shoots, thus insuring an unbroken succes-
sion of flowers. The individual flowers are very large,
stout and densely set, but not so as to appear crowded,
the whole forming a perfect bouquet, and admirably
adapted to resist our summer winds. (See aie Z /

New Peachblow Canna. (Alba Rose" Grandiflora.) The most distinct

variety of Canna
known at the present time. The sheath which incloses the flower is light bronze, the
stem deep bronze ; the opening flower protruding shows a point of bright yellow, very
pretty and distinct. Itis in the fully expanded flower, however, that the great beauty
isshown. The base of the petals is rich, deep rose, tinting upwards through light
rose into flesh pink, until the color merges imperceptibly into creamy white, fully one-
half the flower being the latter color—the general effect reminding one of the coloring
in the celebrated ‘‘ Peachblow Vase.” The flowers are held at right angles from the
stem, not crowded, so that each is distinct and the effect is very graceful. The foliage
is dark green; height, 5 feet. Price, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100,

New Crimson Canna, Columbia. A bright crimson with very deep orange crimson ©
: markings; the habit of the plant is strong, of
symmetrical growth, about 4 feet high, with rich deep green foliage. Price, $5.00 per doz., $40.00 per 100.

New Yellow Canna, El Dorado. A dream of gold, the finest yellow, large-flowering,
ever-blooming French Canna, and it seems impos-
sible to.conceive anything finer. The flowers and trusses are of the largest size, and crown the plant !
rile LS with a mass of pure yellow. The plant is sturdy and
compact, grand foliage and habit. We have only a
limited stock to offer. Price, $6.00 per doz.

Malmaison” Carnation.

A wonderful Carnation, which for the past few years has been the most
fashionable flower for the button-hole, corsage bouquets, table decoration,
etc.,in London. Thousands are grown for that market annually and are
in such demand that the cut flowers frequently sell at the rate of $5.00 per
dozen, wholesale. It is unequaled for size, measuring four inches across,
and is a beautiful shade of blush, similar to the Malmaison Rose. Visitors
abroad have marveled much about this wonderful Carnation, and we have
had numerous inquiries for plants from customers in every section of the
country. To satisfy this demand we have imported a fine lot of young
plants for this season from the leading London grower. The fragrance of
the ‘‘ Malmaison” is exquisite, being the most delicious of all Carnations.
Price, strong imported plants, $1.50 per doz.: $12.00 per 100. ;

Daybreak.

Too much cannot be said in praise of this grand Carnation. The color is
exquisite, a charming shade of flesh pink. It was this del cate shade which
suggested its name of ‘‘ Daybreak,’’ because of the similarity to the first
faint tinge of pink seen in the eastern sky at sunrise. The growth of the
plant is vigorous and healthy, and the flowers possess the Carnation frag-
rance in amarked degree. (See cut.) Price, plants from 2 in. pots, $4 per 100.

Marguerite Monthly Carnations.

A new race of monthly Carnatious which are of the greatest value for summer
blooming. They bloom in lavish profusion the whole summer long. These have been
brought to such perfection by crossing and careful selection that the flowers are mostly
all double; they are all elegantly fringed and deliciously fragrant. The range of colors
and shades, the variation and diversity of markings, surpass anything as yet known in
Carnations: all colors belonging to the family are represented, and combinations of
these have developed new shades. The plants are all grown from selected seed. Price,

$4.00 per 100. 4
Hardy Garden Carnations.

Every color known in Carnations is represented—white, crimson, scarlet, orange,
maroon, yellow, striped, speckled, etc.; but although all these colors and numerous
shades not mentioned are to be found in them, yet having been grown from mixed seed
we cannot supply any special color. Strong, healthy plants from open ground.
Price, $4.00 per 100.

CHINESE MATRIMONY VINE.

(Lyctum Chinense.)

Is a most vigorous hard climbing plant. It sends out

brilliant scarlet berries nearly an inch long, every branch
being loaded with them; the contrast between the glossy,
dark green foliage and shining scarlet fruit is extremely
beautiful. It continues flowering, and new berries are forming
from late spring until frost. The berries ripen in early
autumn and remain on the vine late in the winter (See cut.)

We devote special effort to the cultivation of the Double Petunia; we spare no
pains or expense to obtain the best results, and as a consequence we succeed annu-
ally in raising a succession of fine varieties; but in the long list of grand sorts which
we have raised not one can approach this. Double White Petunias are always
scarce ; it is no exaggeration to say that in the past twenty years we have grown over
a million seedlings, and not one was the equal of this. The illustration, which is
about two-thirds natural size, gives a good idea of its perfection of form and purity
of color. We have named it in honor of the ‘‘ White Beauty,”’ which so successfully
defended the “‘ blue ribbon of the seas,’’ and it is well worthy of the title. It will,
we believe, successfully defend its claim to be the best Double White Petunia ever
raised. Price, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100.

Decorative Plants, Palms, Pandanus, Etc.

There are no plants more attractive than those offered on this page, and none which yield more
pleasure to the cultivator for the amount of care bestowed. Our Palmsare grown specially for house
culture, and are particularly hardy and thrifty, because grown in a comparatively low temperature.
As a basis for selecting and guide as to what may be expected, we mention the sizes and number of
leaves, according to prices, but these are approximate only; plants are constantly developing, and a
shorter one often appears better than a taller one; in such cases we will use our judgment

in selecting.

popular title of ‘‘Curly Palm.”

TRUE PARMA VIOLET.

The plant shown in cut (reduced to one-third natural

a photograph of a plant growing in our greenhouses.
It was exactly 12 inches across, and covered with
flowers as large as a fifty-cent piece. The color is
very deep, and the odor is very powerful; the health of
the plants is perfect: imported stock that had never
been forced. We had often been asked for this var-
iety, and after repeated efforts we have succeeded
in importing it successfully. We feel great satisfac-
tion in being able to offer it, and feel confident it
will give great satisfaction. Price, young plants, $2.00

it attracted considerable notice. Plants from 3 incb pots, $200

CLIMBING PLANTS.

AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII.
Sometimes Called ‘‘ Boston Ivy” and “ Japan Ivy.”

No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing plant. It is
adapted to all situations, and transforms the humblest cottage. It is
entirely hardy in the most exposed places, attaining a height of 20 to 30 feet
in two or three years, clinging to stones, brick or wood work with the
greatest tenacity. It isa great protection to houses, as the leaves lapping
over each other like slates on a roof effectually prevent rain from pene-
trating the walls. For covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls,
verandas, etc., it has no equal. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade
of green, but in the fall it assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet,
crimson and orange, so dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. One-year
plants, pot grown, $10.00 per 100.

A. Quinquefolia. Invaluable where a coarse, rapid climber is desired.
The foliage is larger than the above and colors grandly in the fall. Large
plants, $12.00 per 100.

Akebia Quinata. A scarce Japanese twining plant, with rich, dark
green foliage and curious dark brown flowers of the most powerful and
delicious odor. $10.00 per 100.

Apios Tuberosa. A valuable hardy tuberous-rooted climber, closely
resembling the common Wistaria in vine and foliage, and having clusters
of rich, deep, purple flowers, which have a strong, delicious violet fra-
grance. $2.00 per 100.

Aristolochia Sipho (Dutchman’s Pipe). Large, showy, light green
foliage; flowers long and pipe-shaped, hence the name. A very rapid-
growing vine, and where a dense screen is desired nothing can be better.

25.00 per 100.

Bignonia Radicans (Trumpet Creeper). A most rapid grower; flowers
in large bunches, of a rich orange scarlet. $8.00 per 100.

Celastrus Scandens (Bitter Sweet). A well-known, handsome climbing
plant. In the fall its foliage assumes a gorgeous coloring. $16.00 per 100.

Ivy (English). Invaluable from its quality of remaining evergreen all
the year. It is largely used for covering graves in cemeteries. Large
ground-grown plants, $12.00 and $16.00 per 100; in 2-inch pects, $4.00 per 100.

Hardy White Jasmine (Jasminum Officinalis). Very sweet-scented and
highly desirable. Strong plants, $8.00 per 100.

shaped flowers are golden yellow in color, sweet-scented, and are produced

to see this beautiful shrub covered with innumerable flowers when the
ground is covered with snow. $20.00 per 100.

Matrimony Vine. See page 19.

Periploca Grzea (Silk Vine). A rapid-growing, beautiful climber. It
is particularly desirable for the seashore, as it stands the salt air better
perhaps than any other. Rich glossy foliage, purplish brown flowers in
clusters. $12.00 per 100.

Wistaria Sirensis. White. Flowers borne in long, drooping clusters,

as in the blue variety; pure white in color, making a most striking and
elegant contrast. $16.00 per 100.

bunch of grapes; soft lavender blue. $12.00 per 100.

grandest of all honeysuckles and always scarce. Ever-blooming and very
fragrant. Flowers bright red with yellow and buff markings at the ends of
the tubes. $16.00 per 100.

Lonicera Brachypoda (Evergreen Sweet-scented Honeysuckle). Flow-
ers buff, yellow and white.

Lonicera Brachypoda Aurea (Golden-leayed Honeysuckle). Flowers
yellow and fragrant.

Lonicera Flexuosa (Japan Sweet-scented Honeysuckle). Large flowers ;
