DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 



H ED ERA— Ivy. 



The most useful and popular evergreen vine. The varieties marked with an * are the hardiest and most 

 vigorous, suitable for covering walls, fences, trees, rock-work and rustic-work, as well as baskets or vases. 

 The others are of a more slender growth, and used principally for hanging-baskets, vases, etc. When grown in 

 pots and trained to screens or trellises, they are very desirable plants for vestibule and hall decoration ; their re- 

 freshing glossy green foliage will bear a large amount of ill-usage.
