PETER HENDERSON & GO'S QUARTERLY TRADE LIST OF PLANTS. 



AMPKLOPSIS VEIXCHII. 



(Sometimes called " Boston 

 Ivy" and *• Japan Ivy.") 

 No picture can portray the beauty of this 

 grand climbing plant. As an important aid 

 to architectural beauty in its rapidly attain- 

 ing prominence, being now a feature on the 

 finest liou.ses — notably the palatial residence 

 corner of 57th Street and 5th Avenue, New 

 York City. Another line example of it is 

 seen on Grace Church, in New York, while 

 on Commonwealth Avenue, in Boston, 

 there are hundreds of the finest houses 

 covered with it from foundation to roof. 

 It is adapted to all .situations, and trans- 

 forms the humblest cottage. It is entirely 

 hardy in the most exposed places, attaining 

 a height of 30 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 prevents rain from pene- 

 trating the walls. For covering dead trees, gate posts, toun- 

 lary walls, verandas, etc., it has no equal, while its rapid growth 

 and tenacious clinging qualities make it a most desirable plant for 

 .staying up terraces. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of 

 ?HENnEHsoNSS>is^^^^^i-'^ green, but in the fall it a.ssumes the most gorgeous tints of «ca?'Z€<, 



c-riinsoti and onnif/i , so da/./.liiiii- as to be seen at a great distance. We sold over 50 000 plants of this and A. 

 EoyaU the past season, a krge proportion of which were used on churches and public buildings. 



PRICE, plants from 3 in. pots, 2 to 3 feet long, $7.00 per 100: $60.00 per 1,000. Extra strong plants 

 from 4 in. pots, $10.00 per 100 : $90.00 per 1,000. 



ATttPELOPSIS ROVALII. 



This is yet quite scarce, being a comparatively new variety. It is identical with A. Veitchii as regards its 

 climbing properties, but it is a larger and .stronger growing plant. The foliage even in .summer is riclily 

 tinted crimson, and in autumn it is perfectly gorgeous in its l^ame-colored foliage. It is, in our opinion, by 

 far the most valuable of the two varieties. Although comparatively scarce, we have a large stock of it, and place 

 it at the same price as the older sort, which see above. 



DOUBLE GOLDEN MARGUERITE. 



(Aiithoiu's Coroniiriii, fl. pi.) 

 (Ready Sept. 15th.) 

 Thousands of this valuable plant are now sold 

 annually in the New York market, being .so at- 

 tractive when in bloom that it sells on sight. The 

 flowers are clear golden yellow, it blooms without 

 cessation the entire season ; in winter as well 

 as in summer it is ever covered with bloom. 

 Each season's experience with this grand plant 

 more than confirms the high opinion formed of it 

 when fir.st sent out.
