JAPAN CLEMATIS-PANI- 

 CULATA. 



A great novelty from Japan. It has proved to be 

 one of the most desirable, useful, and beautiful of 

 hardy garden vines, being a luxuriant grower, profuse 

 bloomer, and }X)5sessing fine foliage. It is particularly 

 useful for covering verandas, pihars, fences, where a 

 trellis or support can be provided for it to climb on. 

 The flowers are of medium size, ver)' pretty and fra 

 grant, and produced in the greatest profusion in late 

 summer. \Ve can recommend this novelty in the 

 strongest manner as one of the best vines to grow neat 

 the house ; it makes a growth of from 25 to 30 feet in 

 a single season, and should be cut back to the ground 

 each spring. 35c. each. 



JAPANESE IVY. 



( A Dip el op sis Veitch li. ) 



Leaves smaller than those of the American^ and 

 overlap one another, forming a dense sheet of greei . 

 It grows rapidly and clings to wall or fence with th •: 

 tenacity of Ivy; the foliage is ver)' handsome in sum- 

 mer, and changes to crimson scarlet in autumn. For 

 covering walls, stumps of trees, rockeries, etc., no plant 

 is so useful. For the ornamentation of brick and stone 

 structures, it can" be specially recommended. 



" The criticism is sometimes made that the Ampelopsis or Japanese I\'y is a detriment to the house over which it climbs. This 

 is disputed by authorities, who say that on the contrary it is of actual value to the building, and adds to its heahhfulness, because it 

 attracts moisture which would otherwise be absorbed by the brick or stone to which it clings. As it requires practically no care after 

 it is once started, the question arises why it would not be possible to transform with it some of tlie ugly business buildings in 

 the city. Over in Brooklyn, the courtyard of a bank is covered with a velvet turf. The yard is shut in on one side by 

 the solid brick wall of the next building, which is of a common, ugly architecture. This blank wall was first painted white, 

 but its glare was unpleasant to the bank people, who had to look out at it, and a few years ago 'wy was planted at its 

 base. To-day it is a changing picture of beautiful green, from the tender tint of the first awakened shoots in early 

 April to the glossy richness of the dark shade of late autumn. On a breezy day, the fluttering of its leaves shows rhjthmic 

 waves of verdure ; the sunlight glances through it in artistic silhouette; the rain plays upon it, brightening and freshening it, and 

 working out odd designs. There is no moment of any day that this great green screen is not offering some attraction to the eyes 

 lifted from rows of figures. Many of the factor)- buildings along the water front might well take on such easily acquired beautj-, and 

 make their bare wall-spaces a charm instead of an eyesore to all beholders." — New York Evening Post. 



We have strong plants of this beautiful vine, 35c. each. 



COLUMBUS GOOSEBERRY. 



This is one of the most valuable introductions of recent years in small fruits, and it fully sustains the 

 high opinion first formed of it. It was introduced by us a few years ago. The fruit is of largest size, hand- 

 some, of a greenish yellow color, and the quality is excellent. The plant is vigorous and productive and dots 

 not mildew. It merits a place in everv^ garden. 15c. each ; Si.co per 10. 



The editor of the Rural Ne^v Yorker says : " It is the best variety- yet introduced and seems close to a perfect Gooseberry' for our 

 climate." 



GOLDEN GLOW.
