IVY PLANTS. 
screen for an old wall or building, or to adorn either 
when new, we know of nothing to equal the Ivy. For 
in-door winter decoration the Ivy is unequalcd, as it 
can be trained in any desired form, and will bear any 
amount of hardship and bad usage. The Ivy is not 
quite hardy far North, but plants that have done ser¬ 
vice in the garden all summer can be taken up in the 
autumn, potted for the house. In the spring the plants 
can be transferred to the garden, by sinking the pots in 
the earth. In the autumn they are ready for the house 
again, and better than ever. 
Ivy, plants, according to size, each 25 cts., 50 cts and 1 00 
Small plants of the above, for edgings, dozen, . 1 00 
Variegated Leaved, each, 25 cents, and ... 50 
German or Parlor, with smooth, glossy, light 
green leaves; a very rapid grower; fine for the 
house or out-doors during the summer. 25 cents. 
Cape Ivy, a variety of the above, with thick dark 
green leaves. 25 cents. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY. 
The Lily of the Val¬ 
ley is as hardy as any 
plant can possibly be, 
and when planted in 
the open ground will 
increase pretty rapid¬ 
ly. For the house we 
have what are called 
“ pips,” young roots 
with flowering stems, 
that will bloom in a 
few weeks after plant¬ 
ing, and will flower 
well in baskets of 
damp moss, or potted. 
Pips for winter flow¬ 
ering in the house, we 
can send out in Decem¬ 
ber, as they will not 
suffer injury from frost. For the garden we can ship 
either in the spring or autumn.

cately hung; per dozen, . 5 °

The Pentstemon barbata is an excellent herbaceous 
border plant, usually growing from three to five feet in

which are long-tubed, are borne on spikes, and hang in

let with yellowish throat.

PERENNIAL PEA.

The Perennial Peas are so hardy, such continuous 
bloomers, so good both in flowers and foliage, and such 
vigorous climbers, that we advise every one to plant them.

PERENNIAL PHLOX. 
The flowers of the Perennial Phlox, when the plants 
get strong, are immense bunches of bloom, from the 
purest white to crimson. Plants will keep increasing in 
size, and may be divided at the roots every year or 
two. When in flower it is two feet or more in height. 
Seed does not germinate very readily, unless sown as 
soon as fully ripe or before. The Perennial Phlox is 
perfectly hardy. Plants are shipped wiih perfect safety.
