Sometimes called ‘‘Boston Ivy ’”’ and “Japan Ivy.”’ 
This is adapted to all situations, it is entirely hardy in the most exposed 
places, attaining a height of 20 to 80 feet in two or three years, clinging to 
stones, brick or woodwork with the greatest tenacity. For covering dead trees, 
gate posts, boundary walls, verandas, etc., it has no equal, while its rapid 
growth and tenacious clinging qualities make it a most desirable plant for stay- 
ing up terraces. In the summer the foliage isa rich shade of green, but in 
the fall it assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, so 
dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. PRICES:

““‘DAYBREAK” CARNATION. 
Too much cannot be said in praise of this grand Carnation. The color is exquisite, a charming shade of flesh pink. It 
was this delicate shade which suggested its name of ‘* Daybreak,” because of the similarity to the first faint tinge of pink seen 
in the eastern sky at sunrise. ‘‘ Daybreak” became so popular among flower lovers that the blooms readily sold for more than 
any other variety in the New York market the past season. The growth of the plant is vigorous and healthy and the flowers 
possess the Carnation fragrance in a marked degree. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.
