PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 23 
THE HARDY CHINESE MATRIMONY VINE 
(Lyeium Chinense) 
S a most vigorous hardy climbing plant when trained to an arbor, fastened to a fence, attached to a tree, to the side of a house, 
| the pillars of a piazza or in any location where a hardy vigorous climber is desired. It sends out numerous side branches, so 
that it covers a great amount of space in a short time, and every new growth is at once covered with bright purple flowers, which 
are succeeded by brilliant scarlet berries nearly an inch long, every branch being loaded with them; the contrast between the glossy, 
dark green foliage and shining scarlet fruit is extremely beautiful. It continues flowering and new berries are forming from late 
spring until frost. The berries ripen in early autumn and remain 
on the vine late into the winter. It will grow and thrive in any 
situation, either shade or bright sunlight, and will take root in 
any soil; in fact, nature has given it all the essentials for wide 
popularity. (See czt.) 
Price, ist size, extra strong 2-year-old plants, 300. each, $3.00 
per doz. Young plants (which will bloom and fruit abundantly 
this year), $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100, 
NEW HARDY WHITE PINK, 
“HER MAJESTY.’ 
After repeated efforts we succeed in successfully importing this 
grand novelty from England, where it is held in the highest esteem 
by the best authorities. It is unquestionably one of the finest 
varieties of this century, and one that will hold its own as long as 
Pinks are cultivated. It is far ahead of anything yet seen, and all 
the old white varieties will sink into insignificance by the side of 
this great beauty. It has become one of the most popular of the 
day, and is grown by theacre to supply the demand for cut flowers. 
It was awarded nine first-class certificates at various exhi- 
bitions in England, which is an unprecedented list of honors and 
the greatest number of certificates ever awarded for a plant of 
like character. (See czt.) 
Price, large clumps, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. Young plants, 
$1.50 per doz., $8.00 per 100.
