HENDERSON'S 

 NEW EVER-BLOOMING HONEYSUCKLE 



(Lonicera Hendersoni.) 



Origin. — During the summer of 1894 the raiser attemptea to hybridize 

 «everal of the more common species together, but only secured a single fruit 

 from L. fiichsioides crossed with L. Sullivanti, a native yellow -flowering species. 

 The resulting plant, Lonicera Hendersoni, produces 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. It makes 

 • good companion with the Chinese Honeysuckle, on account of the great 

 profusion of its brilliant flowers. It is quite sterile, producing no berries which 

 probably accounts for its constant-blooming character. The clusters are 

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

 hold better, and are valuable for cut flowers. (See cut.) Price, large field- 



Kown plants, 60c. each, S6.00 per doz.; young plants, 30c. each, S3. CO per doz. 

 inicera Heckrothi. A valuable ever-blooming variety; flowers bright car- 

 mine-red, with yellow and buff markings at the ends of the t ies; deliciously

 Dutch Honeysuckle, being superior to it in every maj'. Price, strong, 2-year- 

 oid plants, 40c. each, S4.60 per doz., young plants, loc. each, SI. 50 per doz.

AMPELOPSIS VEITCHn. 



Sometimes called "Boston Ivy" and "Japan Ivy." 



Entirely hardy in the most exposed places, attaining a height of 20 to 30 

 teet 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. Truly a 

 grand sight.
