HENDERSON’S NEW EVER-BLOOMING HONEYSUCKLE. 
more general satisfaction than Honeysuckles. Their abundant 
foliage, fragrant flowers, hardiness, vigor of growth and im- 
munity from insect pests recommend them to all. For hedges, 
trained on wire mesh, they are invaluable, while for porches 
they are ideal. They are exceedingly useful for covering the 
ground on banks and terraces or under trees and shrubbery. 
== HENDERSON’ SS 
NEW EVER-BLOOMING HONEYSUCKLE (i923, 
No instances of intentional hybrids between species. or 
varieties of the climbing Honeysuckles appear to be on record. 
Heckrott’s Honeysuckle is considered to be a hybrid of natural 
or garden origin, and some hybrids have been found between 
various yellow-flowered American species. During the summer 
of 1894 the raiser attempted to hybridize several of the more 
common species together, but only secured a single fruit from 
L. fuchsioides crossed with L. Sullivanti, a native yellow- 
flowering species. The resulting plant, Lonicera Hendersont, 
produces large clusters of yellow trumpet-shaped blooms, 
changing the second day to orange-red on every young twig 
throughout the entire growing season, thus becoming a true 
ever-bloomer. Both colors, red and yellow, show clearly in 
each cluster as long as it lasts. The plant isa healthy grower, 
with a tendency to climbvery high. It makes a good companion 
with the Chinese Honeysuckle, on account of the great profusion 
of its brilliant flowers. It is quite sterile, producing no berries, 
which probably accounts for its constant-blooming character. 
The clusters are larger and longer than the ordinary Honey- 
suckle, are borne on longer stalks, hold better, and are valu- 
able forcut flowers. (See cut.) Price, large field-grown plants, 
60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; young plants, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.

A new, hardy climber, from Japan, of remarkable beauty. 
The foliage on the ends of the flowering shoots is of a glistening 
silvery-white color, giving the whole vine, from a little distance, 
the appearance of being covered with large white flowers 
blooming among its bright green leaves. The flowers are 
creamy-white, with bright yellow anthers, and remarkably 
sweet, resembling the Lily of the Valley in fragrance.

AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. («postonivns and «Jean Ivy.”) 
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. Itis a great 
protection 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, 
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. Truly a grand sight. 
Price, strong 1-year pot-grown plants, 25c. each, $2.50 per 
doz., $15.00 per 100; 2d size, young plants ready in May, 15c. 
each, $1.50 per doz., $8.00 per 100.
