WATKINS & SIMPSON, 



A NEW, BEAUTIFUL VIRGINIAN 

 CREEPER. 



A MPELOPSIS " DAWN OF DAY ." 



This is a Seedling from the old Virginian Creeper 

 ( Ampelopsis hederacea), and is certainly by far the most 

 striking and beautiful of the Ampelopsis family. 



Description fails to give an adequate idea of the 

 telling loveliness of this grand creeper. 



Imagine an Ampelopsis with magnificent mottled 

 foliage— charming in tiots with the season, like a fairy 

 transformation scene — until, adorned in its autumn 



farb, it farther enhances its beauty by the addition of 

 eautiful berries — comprising in their different degrees 

 of ripeness, most delicate and enchanting shades, vary- 

 ing from verdant green to rich deep purple. 



A plant of this once seen will never be forgotten. 



PRICE :— 



2s. Qd., 3s. 6(2. & 55. 6d, each ; 24s., 36s. & 48s. per doz. 



N.B.— Three or more at rate per dozen. 



A CLIMBINC HYDRANCEA . 



HYDRANGEA SCANDENS. 



Thus described by the Amer can introducer :— • 

 " This beautiful climbing plant is destined to take a 

 front rank in popular favour. It is perfectly hardy 

 and grows rapidly when well established. It su ceeds 

 best if planted at the base of a large tree, up which it 

 climbs, clinging to the bark like English Ivy. The 

 engraving was taken from a specimen in the grounds 

 of L. H. Meyers, Esq. 



"The plant in question was a gorgeous sight, and 



attracted widespread interest and admiration when i 



full bloom. 



" The flowers are pure white." 



A tree that has this lovely pure white climber en- 

 twined in its branches presents the appearance of so 

 many beautiful white stars shining through the foliage. 



And the flowers being so very beautiful and pure 

 white renders it a most valuable acquisition to our 

 hardy white flowenug plants. 



Market Gardeners, Bouquet Makers, &c, will find the 

 blooms of this plant give to cut flowersa chaste, uncom- 

 mon, elegant appearance, much lacking in our present 

 strictly hardy, pure white flowers. 



PRICE :— 



2s. 6d., 3s. 6d. & 5s. Qd. each ; 24s., 36s. & 48s. per doz.
