New and Specially Desirable Varieties of 
Hardy Plants. 
Ampelopsis Englemanni. This plant was discovered by the world- 
renowned collector, Dr. Englemnan, from which the present stock 
has been propagated, and is now for the first time offered for sale. 
It has the vigorous and hardy characteristics of the American wood- 
bine, with beautiful, glossy foliage, laciniated in fives and some- 
times sixes. Hut it is quite distinct in having the clinging tendrils 
and self-supporting habit of A. Veitchi. In this respect, and also 
in brilliancy of coloring in the fall, it will rival the so-called 
" Boston ivy " ; and as the young plants are much more hardy and 
vigorous, and the foliage and growth are decidedly more graceful, 
it will undoubtedly become a great favorite as soon as it is known. 
Orders now entered for delivery after April i. Large, two years 
dormant plants, $1; strong pot-plants, 50 cents; second size, 25 
cents. 
Ulmus Aurea Louis Van Houtte. A golden elm which is vigor- 
ous in growth, withstanding our hot sun perfectly, and showing 
a brighter color than any other kind. It arrested the attention of 
all who visited the nursery the past season. As the tree attains 
size its lively color will be exceedingly attractive. 2 feet, 50 cents 
each. 
Teas' Weeping Mulberry. A remarkable sport of the Russian mul- 
berry, which has the fresh-looking, glossy, green foliage, and small, 
beautifully lobed leaves of its type, combined with the most slender, 
graceful, and pendulous growth of any weeping-tree. As this 
habit is so marked and constant, and can only be credited by the 
photograph of a tree of one season's growth, I have departed 
from my custom, and introduce cuts of a tree as it grew without 
training. The tree is absolutely hardy, free from all diseases, very 
vigorous in growth, and receives unqualified praise from all who 
have seen it. It is claimed to be " the most graceful and valuable 
weeping-tree in existence." Trice, S3 each; $5 per pair.
