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.

HENDERSON'S Ever-moomin g 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 be- 

 coming 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 

 companion 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 VEITCHII. 



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, gateposts, 

 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.
