DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF GARDEN IVIES. 



CANESCENS, The hoary large-leaved ivy (syn. Algeriensis foliis variegatis). A 

 distinct variety, which, is scarcely attractive when young, but extremely handsome 

 when it has been established some years. The leaves are mostly irregular ovate 

 in outline, rarely lobed ; the central part of the leaf consists of a greyish green 

 colour, resulting from the intermixture of a faint wash of the variegation over 

 & it, the result being a kind of bloom or hoary appearance ; the broad margin is 

 of a clear cream colour. Figured in centre of plate at page 78.
