PLANTS READY FOR DELIVERY IN APRIL. 
NUMBER of these plants were offered by us last year for the first time. 
* We now offer for the first time another group of these plant treasures. 
They are attracting universal interest, many orders coming from Europe, 
Japan and other distant parts of the globe. 
They are unquestionably the finest plant novelties extant. 
AMPELOPSIS Henryana. (Vitis Henryana.) In habit, this new 
climber resembles our native woodbine. The ground color of the leaves is 
dark velvety green, with the mid-rib and principal veins silvery white. 
The foliage has a very striking appearance in auturan when the ground color 
changes to vivid red, the mid-rib and vein remaining white. In Massachu- 
setts, this vine requires protection during winter, but would probably prove 
quite hardy south of New York, or even farther north where the influence 
of the ocean moderates the temperature. Award of Merit by the Royal 
Horticultural Society of London. Each, 50 cts.; dozen, $5.00. 
AMPELOPSIS Thomsonii. (Vitis Thomsonii.) This charming new 
climber is one of the most beautiful of the Woodbine family. It requires 
See protection during winter. The leaves are greenish purple above, and bright 
claret color beneath; changing in the autumn to rich red. Award of Merit 
by the Royal Horticultural Society of London. Each, 50 ets.; dozen, $5.00.

for trellises. Each, 75 cts.; dozen, $7.50. 
BERBERIS brevipaniculata. A bush 4 to 6 ft. tall with wedge-shaped 
small leaves clustered together and assuming fine tints in autumn. The 
small yellow flowers are freely produced on erect panicles 3 to 5 in. long, 
These are followed by masses of salmon-red fruits in early autumn. The 
foliage is retained very late. Its several fine qualities make this new Bar- 
berry one of the handsomest and most distinct of its class. Each, 50 cts.; 
dozen, $5.00.

suitable for general decorative purposes and cut flowers. Cultural require- 
ments, same as those of Chrysanthemum. Blossoms December to March;
