HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS 



HENDERSON'S EVER^BLOOMING HONEYSUCKLE 



Lonicera Hendersonii. Large clusters of yellow trumpet-shaped blooms, changing the second 

 day to orange-red on every young twig throughout the entire growing season, thus becoming 

 a true ever-bloomer. Both colors, red and yellow, show clearly in each cluster as long as it 

 lasts. The plant is a healthy grower, with a tendency to climb very high. The clusters are 

 larger and longer than the ordinary Honeysuckle, are borne on longer stalks, hold better, 

 and are valuable for cut flowers. Price, 2-year plants, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz.

HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS. 



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, gate posts, 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. Pot-grown plants, ready now.

 fall and is one mass of fleecy-white fragrant flowers. These are succeeded by the silken seed vessels almost 

 as ornamental as the flowers. It will grow fifteen to twenty feet; in a season, it is insect-proof, it is per- 

 fectly hardy, it adapts itself to all situations, thrives everywhere, and need only be seen to be admired.
