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

 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, S4.00 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.
