AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII ^"^T.v"n\7y.-T'^ 



A valuable climber 



Entirely hardy in the most exposed places, often attain- 

 ing a height of 

 20 to 30 feet in 

 two or three 

 years from 

 seed, clinging to 

 stones, brick or 

 wood work 

 with the great- 

 est tenacity. It 

 is a great pro- 

 tection to walls, 

 etc., as the 

 leaves, lapping 

 over each other, 

 shed rain. For 

 covering dead 

 trees, gate 

 posts, bound- 

 ary walls, etc., 

 it has no equal. 

 In the sum- 

 mer the foliage 

 is a rich shade 

 of green, but 

 in the fall it 

 assu mes the 

 most gorgeous 

 tints of scarlet, 

 crimson and 

 orange.

HENDEKSON'S 

 GIA.NT-FLOWERING 



ANTIRRHINUMS 



These modern hybrid Antirrhinums have been elevated by popular favor from the 

 plebeian "Snapdragon" rank of common flowers to a higher level. This marked change 

 in the general estimation is the direct result of the evolutionary improvement for the past 

 few years, that has made the Giant Flowering Antirrhinum race so highly satisfactory 

 for gardens, bedding, borders, pot culture, for house decoration, forcing for winter cut 

 flowers, etc. The plants are of healthy robust growth, with deep green foliage, free and 

 continuous-blooming, producing long, graceful spikes of immense and durable pure 

 colored flowers, either rich and brilliant or soft and dainty, as may be selected. Their 

 continuous-blooming qualities, ease of culture and independence of heat and drought, and 

 pure, bright colors, should entitle them to a permanent place in gardens. Although 

 perennials in the South they do splendidly when grown as annuals in the North; spring- 

 sown seed produces flowering plants by July, which continue to bloom in increasing 

 profusion until frost. The flowers are nearly double the size of the older sorts. An 

 effective bed may be formed by planting the center with the tall varieties and the outer 

 rows with the semi-dwarf; planted in a combination of separate colors the effect is very 

 beautiful — although even a "Mixed" bed is a feast for the eyes; the plants should be 

 placed 9 inches apart each way. Pinching out the tops — although it delays the beginning 

 of flowering — forces the plants to branch low and ultimately gives better resulcs.
