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. 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, 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.

The Fleecy- White Fragrant Clematis, CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



This grand climbing vine, one of the most valuable ever sent to us from Japan — the source of so many 

 floral wonders — is well worthy of a place on pretentious dwelling or humble cottage. Blooms in the early 

 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.
