CHARLTON AND AMPELOPSIS. 



John Charlton, of Kochester, was the 

 tirst to ofifer Ampelopsis Veitchii in 

 America. His recollections of the event 

 were stirred by a recent note in the Gar- 

 deners' Chronicle, London, and he wrote 

 the editor of that journal in part as 

 follows : 



"I claim to have been the first to 

 introduce and offer for sale this charm- 

 ing climbing plant in the United States. 

 I heard of Ampelopsis Veitchii when it 

 was exhibited at the first Paris Interna- 

 tional Exhibition by the Messrs. Veitch, 

 where it attracted much attention. It was 

 exhibited growing on a slab of bark, and 

 was beautiful and perfect in appearance. 

 The plant was sent out by James Veitch 

 & Sons in the fall of 1868 and spring of 

 1869. I procured plants of it, and, giv- 

 ing generous treatment and growing them 

 on quickly, I soon had a good stock from 

 cuttings. In October and November, 

 1869, I advertised it for sale in the Gar- 

 deners ' Monthly, then published at Phil- 

 adelphia. This periodical was edited by 

 Thomas Meehan, a graduate of Kew, and 

 a man possessed of unusual knowledge of 

 trees, shrubs and plants, as well as of 

 all matters relating to gardening, and 

 whose memory I much revere. As the re- 

 sult of my advertising I sold two plants, 

 but I was not discouraged, being sure it 

 would be wanted in large quantities later 

 on, and the results have borne out my an- 

 ticipations. Its popularity here is increas- 

 ing from year to year, and from my sell- 

 ing two plants in the fall of 1869, 2,500 

 plants of it are now required annually for 

 our present needs. Ampelopsis Veitchii is 

 a unique, wonderful climber, adapting it- 

 self to all circumstances, and, as you say, 

 ' growing an outline of its own, and filling 

 it in perfectly later on.' All things con- 

 sidered, I thank it is the most service- 

 able climbing plant in existence; when 

 planted in the right place it takes care of 

 itself. 



"When first introduced I used it quite 

 freely in hanging baskets, vases, etc., with 

 good effect, as it made a first-rate droop- 

 ing plant. This variety has been exten- 

 sively planted in and around Boston, 

 where it has been dubbed the Boston ivy. 

 It is also called the Japanese ivy, but is 

 perhaps best known as Ampelopsis Veit- 

 chii, the name by which it will be known 

 the longest. I do not care if the systema 

 tist calls it Ampelopsis tricuspidata, or 

 Cissus, Vitis, Quinaria, Parthenocissus 

 tricuspidata, or Psedera. Gardeners will 

 have none of these names. They will 

 continue to call it Ampelopsis Veitchii as 

 long as grass grows and waters run."
