PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE.— PLANTS. 



1 



" Little Midget," Blue Ageratum. 



A charming little plant growing only four or five inches high 

 and covering itself with light blue flowers. Where a compact, low 

 growing border is desired there is nothing can equal this for effect- 

 iveness, as it forms dense symmetrical lines which do not require 

 any trimming to keep them in shape. For edges of beds and bor- 

 ders it is invaluable, equally so for winter blooming. (See cut.)j^ 



Price, 50c. per doz., $4.00 per 100. 



jZ? 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. Truly a grand sight. The most valuable vine cultivated. 

 Price, $7.0.0 per 100.
