£wmT5vf. 



HECKROTTS EVER-BLOOMING HONEYSUCKLE. 



Lonicera Heckrottii. A valuable ever-blooming variety; flowers bright 



carmine-red, with yellow and buff markings at the ends of the tubes; 



deliciously fragrant. This is a grand variety and displaces Belgica, 



the old fragrant Dutch Honeysuckle, being superior to it in 



every way. (See cut.) Price, strong, 2-year-old plants, 40c. each, 



•54.00 per doz. ; voting plants, 20c. each, S2.00 per doz. 



HENDERSON'S EVER-BLOOMING HONEYSUCKLE. 



Lonicera Hendersoni. 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 is a quick grower, 

 with a tendency to climb very high. It makes a good com- 

 panion with the Chinese Honeysuckle, on account of the great 

 profusion of its brilliant flowers. The clusters are larger and 

 longer than the ordinary Honeysuckle, are borne on longer 

 stalks, hold better, and are valuable for cut flowers. 



Price, large field-grown plants, 60c. each, S6.00 per doz.; 

 young plants, 30c. each, S3. 00 per doz.

AMPELOPSIS VE1TCHII. 



(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. 



Truly a grand sight.
