PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 20 
HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS AND HARDY SHRUBS. 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. 
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 it is rapidly attaining 
prominence, being now a feature on the finest houses—notably 
the palatial residence corner of 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, New 
York City. Another fine example of itis seen on Grace Church, New 
York, while on Commonwealth 
Avenue, and throughout the 
fashionable ‘‘ Back Bay” district 
in Boston, there are hundreds of 
the finest houses covered with it 
from foundation to roof. It is ad- 
apted to all situations, and trans- 
forms the humblest cottage. It is 
entirely hardy in the most exposed 
places, attaining a height of 20 to 
30 feet in two or three years, cling- 
ing to stones, brick or wood work 
with the greatest tenacity. Itisa 
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, verandas, etc., it 
has no equal, whileitsrapid growth 
and tenacious clinging qualities 
make it a most desirable plant for 
staying up terraces. In the sum- 
mer the foliage is a rich shade of 
green, but in the fall it assumes 
the most gorgeous tints of scar/et, 
crimson and orange, so dazzling as 
to be seen at a great distance.

and stronger growing plant. 
The foliage even in summer is 
richly tinted crimson, and in 
autumn it is perfectly gorgeous 
in its flame-coloredfoliage. Itis, 
in our opinion, the more valuable 
of the two varieties. Price, the 
same as 4. Veitchit. 
Bignonia Radicans (Trumpet Creeper). A most rapid grower ; 
flowers in large bunches, of a rich orange scarlet. Invaluable 
for covering out-buildings, old trees, etc. Trained to a post

mental in that way. $1.50 per doz., $8.00 per 100.

climbing plant. In the fallits foliage assumes a gorgeous color- 
ing. It bears large clusters of bright scarlet berries, which

clude it in this collection. Price,
