AMPELOPSIS YEITCHII. 



Sometimes called "Boston Ivy" and "Japan Ivy." 



Entirely hardy in the most exposed places, at- 

 taining a height of 20 to 30 feet in two or three 

 years, clinging to stones, brick or woodwork with 

 the greatest tenacity. For covering dead trees, 

 gate posts, boundary walls, verandas, etc., it has 

 no equal. In the summer the foliage is a rich 

 shade of green, but in fall it assumes the most 

 gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, so 

 dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. Price, 

 strong one year old plants from pots, §6.00 per 100. 



THE "COMET PLANT." 



Aealypha Sanderii. 



For all purposes of ornament and decoration, 

 this large crimson-scarlet-flowered Aealypha am- 

 ply fulfils every requirement. For the plant houses, 

 conservatories or rooms — and under all and every 

 condition where a startling and beautiful effect is 

 needed — nothing can equal it. Its easy culture, 

 freedom of growth and perpetual flowering char- 

 acters are indispensable recommendations. From 

 January to December it can be had in blossom, 

 and with quite ordinary attention. 



It can be grown on single stems, as bushes, as 

 standards, or trained to almost any shape. 



For table decoration and for cutting, each long, 

 brilliant, scarlet-crimson inflorescence will prove 

 indispensable ; their highly ornamental effect can- 

 not be overestimated.

WHITE AND PINK HEATHER. 



There is a growing demand for these plants as they are so attractive 

 ■when in bloom. We are able to offer fine stocky plants set with buds at a 

 very low rate. Treated the same as Azaleas they may be had in bloom 

 during the winter and early spring and will sell on sight. No florist doing 

 a local plant trade in greenhouse or store can afford to be without some of 

 these plants even if only as an attractive advertisement, but they are 

 certain to be profitable (Ready in October. ,)
