PETER HENDERSON & CO.— PLANTS FOR FALL PLANTING. 



Hardy SDrufis and Vines. 



Ready about October 25th. 



B^'All hardy shrubs and vines may be planted with the 

 best results in the fall, and as the planting season is usually 

 so short in the spring that it very often passes away before 

 those intending to plant shrubs and vines can take advantage 

 of it, we would advise fall planting wherever possible ; after 

 planting a mulching of 4 to 6 inches of leaves or litter should 

 be spread over the roots. 



HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS. 



The kinds below named embrace nearly all that is desirable 

 in hardy flowering shrubs, and are such as embrace contrast- 

 ing colors together with such as give a succession of flowers 

 throughout the season. All large fine plants. 



Althea, Double "White. Double white flowers. 



Althea, Double Red. Similar to above except color, 

 which is red.

 presented by this magnificent shrub. Used largely in

jp^Climbing Plants, 



(In Variety)

 No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing
