HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS. 



AMPELOPSIS. 



A Veltehii (Boston Ivy)— This beautiful climbing plant is of Japanese ori- 

 gin. It is a variety of the Virginia Creeper, but very slender and deli-

 rapidly attains a height of even 50 feet. The leaves are small purplish 

 green in summer, changing in fall to the most beautiful tints of crimson 

 and orange. In our northwestern climate the plant requires a slight pro- 

 tection during the first two or three winters, but subsequently it is per- 

 fectly hardy. Young plants, each 15c; per doz. $1.50. Large plants, each
