HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS 



AMPELOPSIS 



A. Veltchii (Boston Ivy) — This beautiful climbing plant of Japanese origin 

 is a variety of the Virginia Creeper, but very slender and clings very 

 closely to brick and stone work, rapidly attaining 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 northwest- 

 ern climate the plant requires a slight protection during the first two 

 or three winters, but subsequently it is perfectly hardy. 2-year-old 

 plants, each 75c; per doz. $7.50. Extra strong plants, each $1.00; per doz. $10.00 



A. Engelmanni — A very desirable, extremely hardy variety. The foliage 

 resembles that of the Virginia Creeper, although not quite so large, 

 and is remarkable for the brilliancy of its colors in fall. Like the 

 Boston Ivy the plant will cling without artificial support to brick or 

 stone. Strong plants, each 50c; per doz. $5.00. Large 3-year-old 

 plants, each 75c; per doz $7.50 



A. Quinquefolia (Woodbine or Virginia Creeper) — A well known very 

 hardy vine of rapid growth. Very valuable as a screen for porches, 

 a covering for fences, trellises, old stumps and the like. With the 

 approach of autumn its five-clustered leaves turn a brilliant scarlet.
