PETER HENDERSON &CO.,NEW YORK- ^ 



"SILVE>RY-SWE>EJ " VINE, (flctinidia Polijgama.) True. 



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 effect is very marked 

 and beautiful. The flowers, which appear in this latitude about the middle of 

 June, lasting from two to three weeks, are creamy white in color with numer- 

 ous stamens with bright yellow anthers, and remarkably sweet, resembling the 

 Lily of the Valley in fragrance. (See cut.) 



Price, 1st size, extra strong vines, $1.00 each ; 2d size, strong 2-year vines, 

 75c. each ; 3d size, strong 1-year vines, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 



AMPELOPSIS VE.ITGH1I. (Sometimes called "Boston Ivy" and "Japan 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. It is 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, so dazzling as to be seen at 

 a great distance. Price, 1st size, extra strong pot-grown, 30c. each, $3.00 per 

 doz. ; 2d size, pot-grown, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.

THE CLIMBING HYDRANGEA (Schizophragma H U drangeoides.) 



A beautiful hardy climber introduced from Japan some years ago, but which has 

 been almost lost to commercial floriculture. It is a handsome, rapid-growing 

 plant with almost all the characteristics of the Hydrangea, having similar white 

 flowers as the shrubby species. It clings with great tenacity to any tree or 

 building by which it may be planted and attains a height of fifty feet. It 

 blooms about July and remains a long time in flower. (See cut.) Price, 1st
