RUDBECKIA, GOLDEN GLOW, OR SUMMER 
CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
A large showy plant, attaining in good soil a height 
of six to eight feet the same season planted. Flowers 
three and one-half inches in diameter, double, well 
formed, and of deep golden yellow color, resembling 
yellow chrysanthemums, and borne on long stems which 
render them suitable for cutting. Plants bloom pro¬ 
fusely from July till September. One of the best 
novelties in hardy flowering plants. 2 5 cents. 
JAPAN CLEMATIS—PANI- 
CULATA. 
A great novelty from Japan. It has proved to be 
one of the most desirable, useful, and beautiful of 
hardy garden vines, being a luxuriant grower, profuse 
bloomer, and possessing fine foliage. It is particularly 
useful for covering verandas, pillars, fences, where a 
trellis or support can be provided for it to climb on. 
The flowers are of medium size, very pretty and fra¬ 
grant, and produced in the greatest profusion in late 
summer. We can recommend this novelty in the 
strongest manner as one of the best vines to grow neai 
the house ; it makes a growth of from 25 to 30 feet in 
a single season, and should be cut back to the ground 
each spring. 35c. each. 
JAPANESE IVY. 
( Ampelopsis Veitchii .) 
Leaves smaller than those of the American, and 
overlap one another, forming a dense sheet of green. 
It grows rapidly and clings to wall or fence with the 
tenacity of Ivy; the foliage is very handsome in sum¬ 
mer, and changes to crimson scarlet in autumn. For 
covering walls, stumps of trees, rockeries, etc., no plant 
is so useful. For the ornamentation of brick and stone 
structures, it can be specially recommended. 
“ The criticism is sometimes made that the Ampelopsis or Japanese Ivy is a detriment to the house over which it climbs. This 
is disputed by authorities, who say that on the contrary it is of actual value to the building, and adds to its healthfulness, because it 
attracts moisture which would otherwise be absorbed by the brick or stone to which it clings. As it requires practically no care after 
it is once started, the question arises why it would not be possible to transform with it some of the ugly business buildings in 
the city. Over in Brooklyn, the courtyard of a bank is covered with a velvet turf. The yard is shut in on one side by 
the solid brick wall of the next building, which is of a common, ugly architecture. This blank wall was first painted white, 
but its glare was unpleasant to the bank people, who had to look out at it, and a few years ago ivy was planted at its 
base. To-day it is a changing picture of beautiful green, from the tender tint of the first awakened shoots in early 
April to the glossy richness of the dark shade of late autumn. On a breezy day, the fluttering of its leaves shows rhythmic 
waves of verdure ; the sunlight glances through it in artistic silhouette ; the rain plays upon it, brightening and freshening it, and 
working out odd designs. There is no moment of any day that this great green screen is not offering some attraction to the eyes 
lifted from rows of figures. Many of the factory buildings along the water front might well take on such easily acquired beauty, and 
make their bare wall-spaces a charm instead of an eyesore to all beholders.”— New York Evening Post. 
We have strong plants of this beautiful vine, 35c. each. 
COLUMBUS GOOSEBERRY. 
This is one of the most valuable introductions of recent years in small fruits, and it fully sustains the 
high opinion first formed of it. It was introduced by us a few years ago. The fruit is of largest size, hand¬ 
some, of a greenish yellow color, and the quality is excellent. The plant is vigorous and productive and does 
not mildew. It merits a place in every garden. 15c. each ; $1.00 per 10. 
The editor of the Rural New Yorker says: “ It is the best variety yet introduced and seems close to a perfect Gooseberry for our 
climate.”
